I love the popper and am telling others about it.  It is easy to use and very easy to clean.

Easy to clean and you can limit or add any oils you like. Salt sticks on the popcorn compaired to the air popper. Really like this popper.

Like other silicone baking products this popcorn maker is floppy and flexible. It opens easily and is clearly marked on the inside for 1/4 and 1/2 cup measures. The clear lid stays on the popcorn as it pops and the level rises. I found that my microwave does the best job at about 2 1/4 minutes and leaves a minimum of unpopped kernels. I put a tsp or so of oil in with the kernels and season afterward. The popper cleans up easily and collapses for storage. The handles do get a bit warm but not excessively. If you are trying to reduce the amount of fat that comes with commercial microwave popcorn, this is the way to do it.

I also had an original MADE IN THE USA model that lasted for 20 years. Yes 20 years. (it replaced The Joe Namath stir crazy popper that had a cracked dome)The reason I had to replace my 20 yr old model, is the motor finally went out. I bought a new stir crazy, it was made in china of course and the motor in it went out in 9 months! Assuming I just got unlucky I bought a new one and its still running. Regardless there is no finer popper for home use!

Let me tell you a WestBend Stir crazy secret. To pop almost all the kernels and have non-greasy popcorn follow these instructions. First put the oil in your popper and plug it in without putting on the dome lid. Sprinkle 2 0r 3 kernels in the popper. Have your corn for consumption in a measuring cup ready to go. Once the oil has reached temperature and the sprinkled kernels pop. Pour in you kernels from the measuring cup. By doing this the oil heats up faster and the kernels absorb less grease. Thus more popped kernels and less oil absorbed!! It also pops in less time because the oil heats up quicker without the mass of kernel in the oil at startup.

So far so good.  It pops popcorn.  It's a little floppier than I expected, so we'll see how long it holds up, but it works great.  The only issue I've noticed is that it takes significantly longer than advertised to pop popcorn without oil.  With oil, it's nice and quick.  Regardless, any time you're making popcorn you should judge by kernel popping speed rather than some recipe or instructions.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband who loves popcorn.  So far he's made three batches and says, "It's awesome. Hardly a kernel was left unpopped."  He used it without oil (as recommended in the instructions to decrease the likelihood of scorching) and used the popcorn button on our microwave (2 minutes).  I like that it folds down for easy storage in our small kitchen.  I also appreciated the follow-up emails from the Salbree company which were sent in an effort to make sure we had complete instructions and no problems after use.  We used Quinn Pop At Home Popcorn Kernels (also ordered from Amazon).  We added salt and melted butter after popping.  To round out the gift, my daughters and I got him one of his favorite family movies and printed out a bunch of popcorn recipes from [...].  The girls decorated the recipe book and look forward to making some of the recipes with their dad.  They are watching the movie as I right this and enjoying their popcorn. All in all a great purchase and a useful gift!

I purchased this popcorn maker as my friend recommended it.  I love popcorn and could eat it everyday, however the way I like it is with lots of butter and junk.  He suggested I try this maker as you use very little oil and basically its air popped.  Reducing calories I like.  However I was not completely pleased with the consistency of the popcorn.  Slightly rubbery and dry but I guess that's why this machine is a healthier choice.  Its very easy to use, easy to clean and I believe right for the money I paid for it.  I will get used to the taste - but expected a more theatre like popcorn taste.  Overall happy with the purchase.

The TP-6 popper is a very nice way to enjoy popcorn. I bought it so that when we have the grand kids over we can pop corn and play at the same time. The 6 quart makes enough for 4 adults and 2 little ones. I am totally satisfied with this popper. Easy to clean and use.

This little popper is fun to use and performs just as advertised.  Be careful because it gets very hot.  Since I am a vegan will not be testing the butter melting option, so can't comment on that.

I got an 8ounce kettle popper and combo popcorn packets and have used them almost every night. The popcorn tastes great and the packets make it super easy.

We love this popcorn maker and have had it for at least 6 months!  Makes the best popcorn and all in all, in less than 5 minutes.  I use white corn from Jiffy Pop in the bag which costs $1.47!  I use 1/2 cup of coconut oil, 1/2 cup of popping corn, and 1/2 cup butter melted separately in the microwave.

My family has an obsession with popcorn and this machine had made popping popcorn fun and easy. It's very simple to put together. Even easier to use. There is hardly any clean up and it makes popcorn really fast. Definitely a great product.

This is great!  Since this machine lets the steam escape, the popcorn is light and fluffy.  I highly recommend it!

This popcorn machine is awesome! We are making at least 4 bags a week.  We use it with the prepackaged corn, oil and salt from Great Northern as well.  Definitely recommend this!
