Works pretty well but not perfect
This popper works pretty well if you don't put too much in it. After trying different methods, I find that its best to keep the amount of popcorn to a minimum. I usually have to pop twice to get the amount I want because if you put too much, half the kernels will not pop.
Its a bit messy to clean up because during the popping the oil splatters all over inside the popper. Other than that its not bad.
No Air Popper!
I wanted this for air popping. With the metal base attached and with or without the cardboard liner, this popper consistantly burned the popcorn. One time the popped corn caught fire! I guess it is only designed for use with a little oil, but that's not I wanted it for. I use the clear plastic bowl now, but the metal base went into the recycle bin!
Fabulous Corn Popper!
I used to use the Nordic Ware 12-Cup Microwaver Corn Popper. I thought that I was happy with it - unil I received my Presto multi-popper. I pop popcorn frequently; I've used Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper several times since I received it about a week ago. The popcorn tastes great and nearly every kernal pops. The seasons even seem to 'stick' to the popcorn better mmmmm.... flavor!
This suits me because I eat popcorn for a light, high fiber 'gourmet' snack that I can try with different oils and seasoning. I like popping it myself better than bagged because I can use Splenda to make kettle corn flavored popcorn and a medium amount of oil rather than either extreme. If I save money too, this is an added bonus. That said, I checked eBay prices ... Read More
Makes the best tasting, healthy popcorn with macadamia oil
I looked all over for a microwave popcorn maker so I could use my own healthy macadamia oil including flavored Haleiwa Heat and Garlic Isle. This was the perfect solution. Last year I found it at the local Walmart and bought every one off the shelf and all the powercup concentrators at 2 stores to give as gifts (along with macadamia oil). I would have given it 5 stars except that now I'm looking for more powercup concentrators. Hope it's on the next boat to Hawaii. I listen as it pops every kernel for a fiber rich snack for my family.
Had it for years but grew tired of having to find the trays.
I've had this for years and it works well. The trays are becoming more difficult to find locally, WalMart doesn't even have them, so we ordered another brand that doesn't use them.
