I bought this popcorn popper about 25 years ago. After all those years of use, the lid cracked when I dropped it on my tile floor. Because I loved this popcorn popper so much, I immediately went out and bought a new one and it works just as well. It's the same exact model, except the top (bowl) is now clear, where the original one was yellow.
To the reviewer that had 2/3's of a cup of seeds left, he was not following the easy instructions. He used way too much popcorn. If you buy premium popcorn, live Orville's, you won't have any unpopped seeds. It pop's quickly, is a breeze to clean with it's Teflon surface and you decide how much popcorn you want to make. You can make a small portion, or fill the entire bowl. Recommended popper.

I received this corn popper as a gift recently and I absolutely love it!! My husband & I enjoy the popcorn from this unit better than microwave popcorn. It pops in just minutes and it allows for healthy eating since you control the amount of salt & butter you consume. If you love hot, delicious popcorn then I highly recommend you buy this! It's AWESOME!

Very pleased with this purchase! I have had this for about nine months and it works great. I am no longer satisfied by microwave popcorn; popcorn made with this machine tastes so much better. Plus, it is less wasteful since you don't have to deal with all those individually packaged microwave popcorn bags and shrink wrap and the boxes they come in. You do have to wash it after every use but it's worth it. And it tastes much better when you can melt butter into it through the "butter well" than having the fake sludge they put in the microwave stuff. As long as you are taking care of it and not roughhousing with it, I don't see why it should break on you because mine is still in fine shape. I guess the only minor issue I have is that the screw in the center that keeps the stirring rod in place can be a bit difficult to remove (which you are supposed to do to clean it) when there is a piece of popcorn seed stuck under it. When that happens, sometimes it has taken some effort to unscrew. But overall I am very pleased with this purchase and am definitely not going back to microwave. If you happen to get a faulty one, then I think you should just exchange it for another and not attribute it to it not being a good quality model because it really is.

I have had this popper for two years and it was well worth the price. I have only noticed one thing and that is if you don't wash the bowl out right after each use it builds up a residue, and it has begun to crack around the "top" where you put the cap on. Haven't been able to find a place that sells replacement bowls yet. Its a great product for anyone who love fresh popcorn and believe me I love my popcorn.

I've used my current Stir Crazy for at least 15 years. My first one worked great until a well meaning babysitter put it in the sink to wash it! My adult sons have all asked for one since microwave popcorn is only a slight step up from hot air popped. (eeewww)I'm happy to have been able to find them at Target!

I've been using this popper for over a year now and am still very much in love with it! Instead of vegi oil I use olive oil and always white Jiffy PopCorn. It is much more tender than the yellow. The olive oil gives it a nice flavor and it's good for you. The popper works great, only leaving maybe five kernels unpopped at the most.

I saw this one day in the store and was on the phone with my mother telling her how there wasn't a box for me to see what all it does, it didn't have the top to it and it looked strange but I knew I wanted to try it out because me and my children do movie night all the time and they always want popcorn...needless to say my mom got it for us for christmas along with pre-packaged popping kernel and oil...we have been hooked since the first pop. I've had company and everyone loves it. Even if it broke I would probably just replace it. Being able to use the lid as a bowl is great!!!

I have been reading about how wonderful this popcorn popper is for years. I have always wanted one. I was excited to see it arrive yesterday 1/4/08. We wanted to save wear & tear on our microwave so I decided to purchase this one. I could not be MORE disappointed. I followed the instructions to the letter and it left 2/3 cup of unpopped kernels in the bottom of the bowl. That is an entire bowl of popped corn - if it would have popped! Unbelievable! I used brand name vegetable oil as instructed, I used namebrand popcorn and it was just horrible. It was tough, greasy tasting, and just left us really be-fuddled. I am checking to see if I can return it to the store since it was an online purchase and it has been used once. I cannot agree with the return policy because there was no way for us to know it wasn't going to be unsatisfactory if we didn't use it..... I'd love to think it was defective but I will not replace it with another one. I'm going back to the microwave popper we've been using. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I used my Christmas gift card to purchase this and I was not disappointed. Quick, easy and delicious. We used canola oil, Orville Redenbacher popping corn, and butter that we microwaved. That's it! My daughter, who loves high fat, high salt microwave popcorn, says she likes this much better.
