Very good pop corn maker. I have never had another one to compare to tho...but it is easy to set, with easy instructions. Put your corn in...wait until it pops and eat! The pop corn is tasty and more important: very healthy!
1- Some people said that it pops hot corns everywhere and as I read many reviews I believe every pop corn maker does the same. I have a huge bowl and almost every corn poped inside the bowl. Just about 5 that didnt. It doesnt seams dangerous.
2- I also read in many others pop corn maker reviews that they leave some corns without poping. And I believe all do the same. Not because it doesnt pop, but because it split the corn out before it pops together with the poped ones. Nothing like a problem, keep them, and put in the pop corn maker in the next round! It will pop them.
I recomend this item. I am very happy with it.
