I got this for our rec/ theater/ game room. It is extremely easy to use and clean. Just turn it on, let it heat up for a few minutes then pour kernals in the provided measure cup ( used on top as lid). Pour it inside and place the lid back on the watch it pop. Make sure to have a medium sized bowl under to catch it.

Ordered this for my daughters carnival themed birthday party & as soon as we got it we wanted to try it out. It was very cute & perfect for the occasion, but when we plugged it in... NOTHING!!! Unplugged it & tried a different outlet & still NOTHING!! Very disappointed. Ended up buying bagged popcorn & using it as a prop, but I will be returning this ASAP!!

I got this for my stepdad for his birthday he absolutely loved it, especially the design, and i loved the price. I read some reviews that said it left a lot of kernels that didnt pop. When I used it I didn't find any more kernels that i would'nt have found in a bag of microwave popcorn, so I was satisfied with that. The only thing I didn't like about the machine is that you have to let it cool down for 15 minutes before you pop again or it will overheat. other than that I would have given it 5 stars. hopes this helps.

I read some of the awesome reviews as gifts for children and a lot of negative reviews from peeps that just can't follow instructions lol. But, I bought this for me hahaha! It's big enough to be cool looking on the counter and small enough to not take up too much room. It is much bigger than the other tabletop air poppers. It works great! Have to let it heat up, at least 2-3 minutes before putting the kernels in. Melt butter in a tiny sauce pan and it's movie time! I make two servings at a time for me and friends and we really enjoy using it. The cheap bagged popcorn works best and it taste delicious. Get yourself one and have a little fun next time you invite friends over to watch a flick. I'm making some right now!!!

looks fine. stands a bit wobbly. Pops corn in a few minutes, but the puffed corn seems more dense than in most air poppers. We have tried multiple brands of corn with similar results. No place to prepare melted butter in this model

I purchased this popcorn maker online, it did not work well at all. Not only was it very loud, it vibrated so bad that it moved around quite a bit on the counter. Needless to say with this movement very little of the popcorn made it into the bowl. : (
Thank goodness for Wal*Mart's return policy because this went back to the store the next day!!

Splendid addition to my 6 yr old's Hollywood Movie Party! Definitely worth the money for the value & appearance alone. Popped wonderfully, no problems.

I purchased this item for my daughters carnival theme party and our home theater. It works perfect. I had no problems at all. Just make sure you use a bowl that fits flat or as close as possible to the front so all the popcorn gets in the bowl. Great family fun activity. Works really quickly. All my daughters friends thought it was the neatest thing. Now it's in my movie room for use anytime.
