THIS is a wonderful product i used it 3 times since i've got it within hours, its sitting on the kitchen table for the kids to get home so they can see it because i dont wanna keep opening the box for them.
To use this machine
You need a big mixing bowl, any bowl smaller won't do. Wal-mart sells them for 1-2 dollars a peice.
Good popcorn kernels make sure you don't get the ones out of the microwave bags ( make sure they are fairy new and not expired)
You will also need flavoring, because you cannot empty the bags of microwave popcorn into this because it'll burn up the machine and make a huge mess, i didn't try it i followed the directions
A time where you can make loud noise, because this thing is SUPER loud it sounds like 2 vacume cleaners going at once.
This machine i would say till about the age of 10 should require adult supervision, because it gets really really hot if left on for long periods of time.
I also would not suggest warming up the machine before you put the kernels in because you could burn the kernals and in turn they won't pop. they need to be slowly heated up.
Follow the instructions on the thing, Only stick the amount for the cup on the top of the machine in. But you can stick slightly less, i've got away with half a cup and been just fine, but no more less or they won't pop because the heat won't distribute right.
All in all this is a good machine, not alot of work.
Pros
pops fast you will have your bowl of popcorn in less than 4 minutes.
makes good popcorn
only about 8 of the popcorn kernals weren't popped when making 1/2 cup
hardly any with the full cup.
The popcorn does not go everywhere as long as you have a large mixing bowl.
Cons:
LOUD
if you can deal with something being loud for about 4-5 minutes and you want one that looks cool, this is the machine for you, also the wheels / bar on the back of the machine don't move they are for decoration only~
I love it and hope to love it for years to come!
