How does this differ from a Whirly Pop?

stainless steel. Whirley Pop isn't. you can use stainless steel on an induction cooktop.

I am about to purchase this Cook N Home because of the clad bottom [more even heat distribution] and brass gears [which should work better than the stainless steel gears found on Whirley Pop and Great Northern models]. Note that the basic Whirley Pop is aluminum, and they offer a stainless option. The Great Northern is stainless. The design is similar across the brands, although I wouldn't use aluminum any more. I've had an aluminum Whirly Pop for a dozen years, and I've made plenty of popcorn with it...it's just time to upgrade.

I have not used the Whirly Pop and am not familiar with it's construction but the Cook N Home is stainless steel with a heave bottom and works great. We make kettle corn in ours almost exclusively and it cleans up nicely with just a little soap and water. Some poppers have plastic gears, not the Cook N Home, it is well built.

i have the whirly pop. the cook n home popper is heavier and is made better across the top center of the lid. cook n home is just a better popper I got the cook n home for my daughter, she got the best.

Yes there is a crank on the top you turn when it starts popping. Don't have to turn it constantly. Works as well as whirlybird pop but looks better and is a better kettle being stainless rather than aluminum. Swear my husband uses it daily. Pops with olive oil very well

It's well on the stiff side. I haven't hit it against anything, yet. But, it is not what I'd call flappy or whippy at all.

Yep, I too have the Whirly popper, and it work great with it also. The Whirly also seems to be cleaner with this Coconut oil also. Enjoy...

It is pretty tiny. I would say the average popped kernal is less than half the size of a normal popped kernal. Hope this helps!

Popping can be an issue. I've notice applying pressure down and 'running' the move once before filming tend s to help.

I think the main difference is how the water is extracted. I believe the Hurricane Mop has a foot pedal to pump, while the Twist and Shout Mop extracts the water by the up and down motion in the 'centrifuge' basket. Actually, that was the reason I bought the Twist and Shout instead of the Hurricane mop - less parts to break.

It makes a good aize pop noise when ot snaps in. If not then you may have to return it. I bought two and both snappes in tifht

It is a pop top in the small cans. I do not know about the larger size, but am guessing it needs a can opener. Guessing. My kitty loves this stuff.

It is not the popping kind. Also, heating it for popping will degrade a portion of the antioxidants (anthocyanins) that make this stuff so awesome...:)

internal popping is when the mechanism on the inside of the cube pops. On 2x2 its the inner edges that pop, but i would recommend a wittwo 2x2 not a shengshou

I don't have pop-corn or Cheerio's to deal with but I tested it on a hard pea sized bead and my answer is that when I just pushed the Flatout Head Tool forward on the floor it did not suck up the bead, it just pushed it forward (because it is so flat, which is the purpose). There are 2 dime-roll sized up-take holes underneath and when I lifted the tool up and placed it over my bead it sucked the bead right up and because the tool is so light it took no effort.

Sorry no experience with the West Bend Stir Crazy Popper. If it's of any use this machine works reasonably well. We've had an antique oil popper that we finally decided to replace. The popcorn that was produced by the old popper was far better than this one, in that it was much more crisp. This tastes more like air popped than oil popped to us.

I Really don't think there is a difference. I good pop filter is a good pop filter. Either it works as advertised or it doesn't. This one works.

I believe it is the same, but it feels different because its solid and has no air in it. Big sophie has air and is much more "squishy" and bendable. This is a true teether and harder.

Hello! the seat is very comfortable for our child, it does pop out, but that is the way it is designed, we hadn't had any accidental pops at all, we love it. Hope this is helpful.

I've only used it twice. The "popping" should stop after about 20 secs., and before it is used. It is a steam processor, so it does sound like a toy train engine. If it's stronger than that, there could be a problem.
