is it easy to get popcorn out?

Most of the time but there are occasions pop corn will get stuck. I've greatly enjoyed mine. Hope this helps.

The popcorn comes out on it's own...after it's all done popping u just have to turn the kettle downward to release the remainder...it's very easy to use and it's fantastic...

Yes it is very easy! Easy to take out and clean also. I am addicted to this machine. I get the prepackaged popcorn and oil from Great Northern Popcorn to go with this machine and is as good as movie theater popcorn. Love, love and love this way to get popcorn! Only con is that I do have kernels that don't pop and not sure why. Probably something I'm doing, not sure. But will keep trying until I get it right, the delicious popcorn is worth it!

Very easy...all you do is pour the popcorn into a bowl out of the tray. I absolutely love this machine!

I would say absolutely not. You'd have to scrape the popcorn off and apply it to a fairly smooth surface.

I'll admit, after working with one of these for nine years, it's not the easiest to clean. That said, we use it multiple times a week and are heavy users at our college. We do give it a wipe down each time we use it and then do a deep clean every month or so. No popcorn machine is super easy to clean, I'm on my third one of this model, so we keep coming back to it.

Yes! Very easy! If I remember correctly, it pops in like a toilet paper holder (spring loaded).

The popcorn machine is awesome, but it is hard to clean, if the door would come off , it would be so much easier! Unfountantly it doesn't! So you just have to take out all the left over popcorn out by hand and then wipe with a towel! Hope this was helpful!

I haven't tried that. I really like the Stir Crazy popper! It has made the best popcorn. Then you can add 1/4 cup of Sugar to make Kettle Corn.

I use 1/4-1/3 cup of white popcorn on high for about 4 minutes. I have a few unpopped kernels. It has never been tough.

Yes, though more slowly at first (& moderately once popping starts). Another thing we've discovered is to let the oil heat up for a couple of minutes before putting the popcorn in; it definitely pops faster that way.

Yup, very easy. I just start by getting a top corner loose and pulling it out from there.

great, I have never had a problem - it makes the popcorn pretty quick I would say less than 10 minutes.

Yes, it's fairly easy to clean. The bucket unplugs, and comes out for easy cleaning. The rest is just cleaning the glass mostly, which hasn't gotten real dirty on my machine at least. Not too bad, no worse than cleaning a few small windows. Makes great popcorn, and worth it to me. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with a small metal scooper that is very easy to scoop popcorn into the bags with..

I put a large wooden spoon underneath the front of the popper, leaning it slightly backwards. Anything to prop the front up would work. The wooden spoon just seems to be the right height needed to still allow the popped popcorn to build up and flow out. I remove the spoon once the popped popcorn starts to flow. At the end there's a few unpopped kernels that fly if I don't turn off the machine, hold the bowl up blocking the opening or putting the spoon underneath the backside. I prefer to just turn it off.

The gears on top of the two I have owned do not appear to be metal. I've only owned them a few months, but have had no issues so far. However, and the instructions do state this clearly: you should never force the handle. The key is not to overfill the popper. ½ cup of unpopped corn at most will fill the popper and provide plenty of popcorn.

Yes, on popcorn setting. Unfortunately it takes about an hour. After repeated usage for this purpose, it melts the plastic arbor enough for it to separate from the metal for the stir arm, rendering it useless.

I have just used both the bagged popcorn as well as the popcorn in plastic containers and have had no problems with either kind popping.

I had that challenge. Started using the built in measure slightly rounded and need to use fairly fresh popcorn. White popcorn is slightly smaller and a few still come out.
