West Bend has been a leader in developing electric kitchen appliances since being founded in West Bend, Wisconsin in 1911. Providing unmatched performance, quality and value to consumers has always been at the heart of everything we do. Popcorn is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy snack time. You can eat it plain for a healthier snack or indulge with butter and seasonings. It can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. It is the perfect addition to any dinner party, backyard BBQ or winter's night in front of the fire. The Stir Crazy No. 82505, 6-Quart Popcorn Popper by West Bend is America's favorite popcorn popper. It measures 13" W x 10" L x 10" H and is constructed of durable and BPA free plastic housing. The Stir Crazy uses a triple-layer heating plate which increases performance and insulates the body of the popper to fully pop up to 6.75-quarts of popcorn in about 4 minutes. Features of the Stir Crazy popcorn popper include the clear cover which not only allows you to see the popcorn pop, but also transforms into a family-sized serving bowl when popping is complete. Atop the cover is a butter well- butter placed in the butter well will melt from the heat of the popper and drizzle onto the popcorn as it pops. When popping has finished, simply snap the butter lid over the butter well, flip the machine upside down and the cover is now a serving bowl for your snack. The easy-to-read ON/OFF button of the Stir Crazy activates the heating surface and rotation of the stirring rods. The stirring rods keep the corn moving to pop all of the kernels. The compact surface and steep side walls of the heating plate keep kernels centered and yield greater popping efficiency. When finished, the non-stick heating surface is easy to clean and the dual-purpose cover and serving bowl is top-rack dishwasher safe. The permanently attached cord wraps underneath the base and the base nests neatly inside the cover making for a compact, no-tangle storage when not in use.

The West Bend Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper is a convenient and efficient way to make tasty popcorn from home. It has its own built-in butter well and a motorized stirring rod to evenly coat your snacks. This electric popcorn popper provides heat-resistant handles for improved safety and convenience. Its base is also heat-resistant to protect your countertops. The West Bend Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper's popping surface features a nonstick coating to help make cleaning simple and fast. It offers a 6-quart capacity and is made for easy maintenance. This electric popcorn popper also provides a lid that can be flipped over and used as a serving bowl. It's a convenient and economical alternative to pricey theater snacks. Now you can make fluffy, light, delectable popcorn in the comfort of your own home with the help of the West Bend popcorn popper.

We've used this several times. Easy to use; easy cleanup. Makes great popcorn: Just popcorn, oil and butter. None of the chemicals in the bagged varieties. Love it!

This is the third crazy sister I have had in the last 40 years. They make the best popcorn. Perfect for a little bit of salt because of the light oil. Error free, wonderful tasting popcorn.

Works great, Leaves very few unpopped kernels. The only negative so far is the amount of oil required. Seems a little excessive, so I've been experimenting with smaller amounts. Using too little oil only allows about half the volume of popcorn that pops with the full 3 tbsp.

This is my favorite popcorn popper! The stirring mechanism works well so popcorn does not burn. My favorite feature is the lid that can also serve as the bowl. I think the entire device is easy to clean. Not only have I purchased this for myself but also for family. Everyone loves it

I think this is my third Stir Crazy in the last 30 years. We use the Stir Crazy frequently and they hold up. The ability to make great tasting popcorn quickly is it's best feature. Microwave popcorn is faster but it tastes terrible. I can pop a batch with butter in just over five minutes, so I don't miss much of my program as long as I start at the commercial.

I had a Stir Crazy for over 20 years. It stopped working and I purchased a new one. It popped about 1/3 of the kernels. I followed the directions exactly and it did not work. Very poor. I am trying to get my money back.

For 25 years, we owned the previous WestBend Stir Crazy model. It was excellent - made great popcorn, easy clean up. As anything with age, the plastic cracked and we finally decided it was dime to replace. We have given this as a gift and recipients love it for movie night. Kids enjoy watching it POP. We have used corn oil, coconut oil and canola oil and they all work in this machine noting that a little is all that is needed.
