clean up is fast and easy.
from www.amazon.com
putting together the unit is easy and cleaning up is pretty straightforward.
from Douglas, www.cooking.com
really disturbing too, because the item was in use and very hot with oil splattering.
from Douglas, www.cooking.com
waring needs to make the product with a significantly larger kettle.
from www.amazon.com
upon reading the manual and comparing it with the user instruction label on the door i found the two disagreed on the amount of oil and popcorn to be used.

from Tina N, www.target.com
i dislike melting the butter on top because it never melts quickly enough before the popcorn is done and needs to be cooked.
from K. Cox, www.target.com
it makes excellent popcorn, in a really quick amount of time.
from A. Truong, www.target.com
i've never had a popper before, but i found this one to be easy to use and much healthier than microwave popcorn.
from SMC-Ohio, www.target.com
it cleans up easily with a wet paper towel and the lid goes in the dishwasher.
from Tina N, www.target.com
in general, the hot air poppers are much more user friendly compared to stir poppers while giving the same results.

wonderful that it is dishwasher safe.

from www.amazon.com
it's lightweight & easy to clean.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
i was a little surprised by how small the machine is, however, that does mean it will take up less space.
from www.amazon.com
once the corn pops more slowly it is vitally important to shut off the heat to the kettle so that the warming element will not burn out prematurely.
from www.amazon.com
it looks nice but the sheet metal is very sharp inside and it is easy to cut yourself while cleaning the unit ---- speaking from firsthand experience, i might add.
from www.amazon.com
the only drawback to the small size comes when putting the corn and oil in.
from www.amazon.com
after pre-heating the kettle by flipping on the switch for 3 minutes add in the oil and three kernels.

from www.amazon.com
you can make a single serving or a big bowl, and nearly every kernel pops.
from www.amazon.com
you can use scant amount of oil, or be more generous.
from www.amazon.com
ok, it does work and makes tasty, unburned, and well heated popcorn....but, grease spits out the holes on the top and when i put it in the dishwasher all of the coating came off the metal bowl part.
from www.amazon.com
fits in the dishwasher.
from www.amazon.com
I opted for this aluminum popper instead of the stainless steel.

i tried to let hot water soak in it but i could never get the oil off.
from www.amazon.com
we tried several different popping amounts and different oils and warm up times with no satisfaction.
from www.amazon.com
last to mention it is not user friendly for clean up, and it's made in china.
from www.amazon.com
then cleaning it was the biggest pain in the butt.
from www.amazon.com
not just out under the rod where it's easy to clean, but uo under the actual rotating mechanism.

very messy.
from www.amazon.com
when i make air popcorn, i put some flax oil (healthy oil) on top of it with some salt and sometimes some parmesan cheese.
from www.amazon.com
my old machine did take about 10-15 minutes to make what this one makes in about 4, but my old machine popped nearly every single kernal, and they were big, soft, airy pieces...
from www.amazon.com
i also purchased one of these, big mistake.
from www.amazon.com
no matter what size of popcorn i use, and, carefully following the directions that came with the popper to a tee, once the corn starts to pop, most of the corn remains unpopped and flies out of the

from www.amazon.com
it tastes just like popcorn from those big expensive poppers.
from www.amazon.com
i think they make the very best popcorn and it's certainly healthier with a little oil than some of the unknown ingredients you get in microwave packets.
from www.amazon.com
it works faster than microwave popcorn and without the artificial flavorings and chemicals.
from www.amazon.com
yeah it has coconut oil in it but so what.

you can control the oil, salt, and butter (yes, real butter), so you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you'd like.
from www.amazon.com
for kettle corn i use 1/2 cup orville popcorn, 1/4 c white sugar(brown makes caramel corn) and a little oil, sprinkle with salt before serving.
