This electric popcorn maker is compact, easy to use, and simple to clean. It pops almost all kernels and work perfectly with low noise. The unique dynamic design and colour make it a great addition to my kitchen.The stainless steel sleek rod works really good and cause of heating corn well. Resultantly,popcorns are good in shape and taste.

I’ve been using this electric popcorn maker for a while now, and I’m really impressed! It has a great capacity, making enough popcorn for the whole family in just a few minutes. The popping process is super fast, and almost all kernels pop perfectly without burning. It’s easy to use and clean, making movie nights even better. Highly recommend!

Pros and cons:Pro: works very well and keeps kernels moving so unpopped kernels stay at the bottom. Heating plate is fairly easy to keep clean after use.Con: top cover is very flimsy so be careful with it. It also is not super easy to clean. Popping oil sticks to it. Side handles do get very hot once done so I suggest potholders when you flip it over. The top cover that goes on the butter tray is also somewhat weak. Two of the tabs have already broken but I don’t use that feature anywayOverall I’m happy with it and would buy another if this one fails. I’ve had it for some time and use it somewhat often. I use 1/3 cup of kernels and it is perfect. I used a lil more the first time and it lifted the lid and went all over the counter. (Completely my mistake) i have other Elite Gourmet products (toaster oven and air fryer) and am happy with the products they put their name on

My kid love popcorn... TOO MUCH! So this was a great buy to make easy popcorn for pretty cheap and at least this way I know it's only 2 ingredients. No surprises. It's small. Easy to clean and works pretty quickly.

Be careful that you read to be sure it's the right size you want. This is a smaller popper. I still gave it a try though I was disappointed in its size and I was left disappointed. It takes a really long time to pop the kernels because the size of the cooking pan is small. For those reasons I returned it. It was very easy to use the popcorn tasted great so if you're looking for a smaller popper this would work great for you. One other thing to note is that the pan that the kernels cook on does not detach from the base which could make cleaning a hassle

This 18-cup hot oil popcorn popper is a game-changer for our family movie nights. The butter-melting tray is another brilliant touch. Melty, buttery popcorn every time, and it's so simple. Plus, the whole thing is surprisingly easy to clean, which is a massive win in my book. And honestly, the entire process is just entertaining. The whirring and popping sounds add to the whole movie night experience. The reversible serving bowl is super convenient.

[Review has now been further revised to reflect just how fragile this is][Review has been revised to reflect further efforts to get good result with Mushroom Popcorn by Hoosier Hill Farm.]I've just thrown this out after less than 6 months of use. The problem is that the cover for the butter well in the top/bowl will no longer stay in place. It is supposed to be held in place by small, flimsy plastic clips and too many of them have broken off, even though I tried to be careful with them. This makes it very difficult to flip the popper over at the end of its popping and impossible to use the top as a bowl. It's a little design detail that saves the manufacturer a penny or two -- and quickly makes the popper useless. I hope to find different brand with better design._____________________________________________________________________________________This is essentially a modernized version of the electric corn popper used by my mother's family a century or more ago. (It survived in my mom's kitchen long enough for me to enjoy it as a kid.) This uses plastics instead of steel and has a motor to turn the stirring rod instead of a hand crank but the principles are identical and so is the performance.Having a good idea what to expect, I tried it with two different popcorns. Snappy White Popcorn is a pretty standard sort of popcorn in terms of kernal size and it produces normal butterfly popped kernals. The Snappy kernals I have are from 2020 but still popped quite well, with scarcely any unpopped or partly-popped old maids. I followed the directions, with 3 tablespoons of oil and a bit more than 1/3 cup of kernals. This filled the top/bowl to the brim, and flavor and texture were excellent.Mushroom Popcorn by Hoosier Hill Farm was a different story. Mine is only a week old but it popped quite badly, with a great many old maids, and not many fully-developed mushroom popped kernals. But the same popcorn pops considerably better in my Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper. I'm not totally sure why it does so very poorly the Elite Gourmet machine but I'm pretty certain that it has a lot to do with the quite large size of the unpopped kernals. Hoosier Hill, which spends a lot of Web space patting itself on the back regarding the quality of its product, does not seem inclined to offer any hints, but the instructions on the package, which suggest using a stovetop popper for best results, led me to an experiment that produced better popcorn from it with the Elite. I poured a generous layer of oil on the hot plate (more than recommended) and placed just a few kernals on it before turning on. When those had popped I turned it off, quickly removed the cover, put 1/3 cup of kernals in, and restarted it. The result was a considerable improvement with a large proportion of large mushroom popped kernals and somewhat improved flavor and texture. There were still many fragments of hull, however, and a number of old maids.It's quite important, I judge, to turn off the machine and dump the popcorn as soon as popping stops, as otherwise you risk burning your popcorn. It's very simple: just clap the cover on the vent, grasp the handles, and tip it over. It's light enough to make it quite easy for anyone.The little vent and butter cup at the top of the cover really works fine for melting butter if you are not too stupid about how you do it. The butter needs to be sliced into several thinner slices spread around over the vent slits rather than dumped in one big clump. Then it melts just fine and imparts a wonderful buttery flavor throughout the batch. I generally spread it around a bit with the knife blade midway through the popping just to be sure, but it doesn't seem to be truly necessary.Of course butter isn't great for you. Much better to spray the popped corn with a butter-infused olive oil, but it doesn't really produce quite the same effect, sadly, although it really is quite good.The plastic in the top/bowl is quite thin but doesn't really seem flimsy to me, because it is flexible and not at all inclined to crack. It's probably not going to last 35 or 40 years, the way my mom's popper did, however.Cleanup is pretty straightforward.Three quarts is not enough for a very big family or party, but I note that there are machines operating on similar principles in 6 quart sizes on Amazon. I expect that the performance is probably similar, although it may be that some handle the Mushroom Popcorn by Hoosier Hill Farm better.

This popcorn maker is a great size, I thought it would be smaller. I bought it because my daughter loves popcorn, and I try to avoid overly processed foods. With this machine, you can use original popping corn and add ghee butter or any other you prefer, and it tastes so much better than microwave popcorn. Just make sure to follow the measurements in the instructions to get the perfect amount

The company decided to send to me a used, semi burnet product instead of a new one, thinking customers are just too stupid to notice.Plus this us 110v and doesn’t work in Saudi.

I do not think making the cover of plastic is either healthy or sustainable. Parts of the plastic cover already melted from the second use. This is super cheap material and I would not recommend anybody spending any money, however cheap, on it!
