Leaves kernels unpopped due to uneven heating.

Simple operation requiring minimal effort.

I've wanted  a hot air popcorn popper for awhile now but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I'm retired, handicapped, with very little funds. I looked online several times at different places. Always Walmart was the best priced. I'm using this almost everyday as I love popcorn. It's easy to use and clean. Fits in my budget, takes care of my cravings. I don't think I could've gotten a better deal. It's fast, gives a great tasting treat. The delivery was speedy. Think I'll whip up a batch of popcorn tonight.

Loving It!

I bought this because my son loves making popcorn with his grandma with an air popper.  So I bought this so he can make popcorn.  I also got this to make popcorn balls.  Great buy.  Affordable and serves it purpose.  I love th color too.  Goes with my kitchen.

Easy to use

It is 99% popping corns and I really like it. It pops very quickly. It would be also a nice gifts. I am using it almost every night sometimes 2 times in one night ;)) I do like plain popcorn. It comes with recipe book and you could make flavored popcorn.  I really recommend it.

I really like it

I wanted an air popper for quite some time. A combination of the reviews and videos of the popper in use made me skeptical, but at this price I didn't have much to lose. I've had the popper two weeks now and have used it almost daily. I strongly recommend you read the instructions before your first attempt and then read my advice below. I quickly realized that most of the people who made videos were simply not following the instructions. 

I use Orville Redenbacher's kernels to pop. It's the same $5-and change jar that they sell at every grocery store. I estimate the container will last me another 2-3 months which is well worth the money compared to the microwave bags. You'll never have a perfect batch where all of them pop, but if you follow the instructions the majority of your kernels (90-95%) will pop. 

Make sure the lid is secure before you turn on the popper. It doesn't really " lock " into place and is rather flimsy. I've knocked it off at least twice and when it comes off it can be tough to put back on once the machine is running. I recommend just pushing it down and making sure that it's sealed before turning it on. 

PREHEAT YOUR POPPER. This is absolutely vital. If you put the kernels in a cold popper they won't come up to temperature enough to pop. I turn my machine on and let it run for 5-6 minutes while I prepare my toppings and clean the serving bowl. 

I eyeball the measurements. For a personal batch it'd just put in enough kernels to cover the bottom of the scoop/lid. For two people I'd fill it slightly over half. For four or more I'd fill it to the top. I usually make a 2-4 batch. 

When the preheating is done I slowly pour the kernels into the machine. I found it's least awkward by holding the handle-end of the scoop towards the mouth of the machine where the popped popcorn comes out and pouring towards the back of the opening. Once you're done pouring PUT THE LID BACK ON. The scoop's handle should be facing the back of the machine. It'll take about a minute and a half to start popping and when it begins it'll be quite vigorous. Use the scoop to block the opening so the kernels falls back down into the chamber. 

I do not use the " butter melter " feature. I suppose the machine does get hot enough for it to work, but I don't want to be stuck cleaning the thing once it's done. 

It takes about 3-4 minutes to pop a half batch. I give it a stir and dump one tablespoon melted butter and one tablespoon olive oil mix over the batch. Give it another stir and add your seasonings. I flavor this stuff with all types of things, but I've become fond of the KenerlSeasons popcorn seasoning they sell in most grocery stores, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper, or sometimes just Cinnamon. 

Any cons? The machine does get REALLY hot when it's in use. I couldn't recommend this in a house with small curious children, small curious animals, or well intentioned curious adults who like to touch things. For a responsible teen/adult this a great buy. I'm actually tempted to get another one to use at work.

Works if You Follow the Instructions

I love making popcorn at home but was having trouble with getting super fluffy popcorn. I read somewhere that it may have been too much steam from a closed pot lid when making stove popcorn, but otherwise the kernels fly everywhere. The other issue may have been with regulating the temperature. Still, I wanted to combat use of oil in the pot too as we top with oil or butter. I've used this popper once since I got it the other day. Pros: quick set up, quick to heat up, and very fluffy popcorn I was looking for. There is a spinning feature inside that heats up the kernels and gets it to come out of the device. For the most part, the popcorn all lands in the bowls. Cons - while the popped kernals will land in the bowl, the unpopped kernals that are jumping around will fly out of the device before they can pop, but they are too hot to pick up and throw back in for a second chance. I found with stove popping I would have a max of about 5 unpopped kernels, while the air popper left at least 10. Something to look out for - I might find a way to refine the process with a few more tries. Things to note: there is a metallic smell (new appliance smell, I call it) like another reviewer noted. Shouldn't be an issue much longer. The directions note to tip forward to make sure all the popcorn has come out, but the popper can get very hot during use, so I wouldn't bother to touch it again as it leaves only 1 or two behind.

Easy set up but beware flyaways

Got this as a Christmas gift to spouse as an upgrade to one we bought a decade ago. Love the retro color and shape - especially love that it has an on-off switch. Do like that we can immediately pop a second batch without overheating. He bought me a popcorn recipe book and we've loved experimenting and being creative. 
Don't love how many unpopped kernels end up in the bowl. Six months of use and we haven't figured out how to get less unpopped kernels in the bowl; they just come out hot right along with the hot popped corn. Our previous popper only shot out less than a dozen unpopped kernels at any time but this more than doubles it.

Love everything except the hot unpopped kernels

Wow really place this order got charged $21 online for this popcorn maker and in-store it is $15 and yes I bought a sold and shipped from walmart.com so by rights I would have thought the online order would have been the same price as in store not higher

Higher price online than in-store

I almost sent this back - it claimed that there were very few kernels left when done popping when, in fact, almost half of them didn't pop.  Plus, it throws the popped corn and the UNPOPPED kernels out so hard that they fly all over the place - I put a towel over it and the bowl to try and contain it.  I'm only keeping it so the grandkids can use it.  Would NOT recommend this product.

Not happy with this product

Came late and was unable to return to the store. I keep waiting for an email with return instructions but only have gotten a 20$ off coupon. It was my understanding I would be returning the item to the store but the store is unable to complete the refund .

I bought this for my husband .  We anxiously awaited its arrival. We had also purchased gourmet popping corn to use in it .   First time we used it was fine . Second time the fan sounded weird, and did not have the power it did the first time. The popcorn burned . I am returning it for a refund.

Quit working after first use

Ease of use

Customers praise this popcorn maker for its excellent price, ease of use, and efficient kernel popping, with few unpopped kernels left behind. They also appreciate the hassle-free cleaning experience. However, some users report issues with kernels shooting out unpopped or not popping at all, and have divided opinions on the smell. Proper use is key to achieving fluffy popcorn without burn. Overall, the product's benefits outweigh its drawbacks, making it a great value for the money.
