Great Popcorn Popper
We love the popcorn popper. It works great. Some people have complained that it is difficult to clean. So far, I think it cleans up really easily as the kettle is very easy to take in and out of the machine. The one complaint I had was with the "starter kit" that included "25 bags." It was a little deceiving as you would think that "starter kit" would mean 25 bags of popcorn, no, it only comes with 25 paper popcorn bags, so you still need to order the popcorn when you order the machine. Other than that, the popcorn is as good as any movie theatre.
Pops quickly, but oh, the clean-up!
This little popcorn maker works exactly as described. Just add the oil, salt and corn and voila! However, there is not a temperature gauge for the kettle. I have used other kettle-based poppers that took a bit longer and had few unpopped kernels. This unit consistently had a high number of "old maids", and you have to be right on top of it to dump them before they burn.
My biggest complaint is the clean up. The instructions say to cook a cup of water in the kettle and use the heat and steam to wipe away the gunk that the oil leaves behind. I only wish it were that easy. Maybe you could do this using a razor blade scraper on the glass walls. But that would still leave all the black, gooey junk that collects in the kettle. I've removed the kettle and carefully used boiling water and scrubbers and even some dishwashing soap to clean the kettle. The only way it got completely clean was by disassembling the kettle, and doing so could mean the loss of some very tiny screws.
