This is the One

I am a popcorn lover, from a family of popcorn lovers, and trust me this is the One to buy. It is so convenient. Just plug it, it stirs itself, melts the butter, applies the butter automatically; and then you just flip it over and use the top as the bowl -- no need to dirty the popcorn maker and then a separate bowl, this has both built as one! That is not the reason to buy it though; hands down the top reason you should buy this is the way the popcorn tastes. It is close to the fluffiness of an air pop, but has a little bit of the crunchiness of a stove-top model. mmmhhh yum. I debated over getting this for a while, but once I did the only regret I had was not getting it sooner!

fun and tasty

Our neighbor raved about her stir crazy popper and said she would never go back to microwave popcorn....so I had to try it. So easy to use and fun to watch. My grandchildren came to visit and loved watching the kernels pop. Just be sure to slice your butter extra thin if you are using the melted butter feature on the top. Also very easy to clean up afterwards. The Stir Crazy Popper works exactly as it is suppose to.
LOVE IT

Great popcorn! Pops well! A little dangerous...

I absolutely adore this popper. It's perfect -- and you can use less oil than described (I generally go for almost 1 cup popcorn to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil -- salt it up after, and it's perfect). BUT and here's a big but -- I'm not entirely sure why it hasn't been recalled yet.

You see that convenient area with the stirrer, where you put all that nice popcorn and oil when the popper is right side up? Well that thing becomes a skillet.
Now turn that upside down when the popcorn's done, and TRY to get that thing off without risking burning yourself.
It's a very complex dance to not get steam burned (from lifting at the handles --thereby letting the steam out upon your poor fingers) or touching the skillet area itself while trying to remove a hot griddle and flipping it back over. That bit his very difficult. Heaven help you if you lose your grip and drop it.

I'd like to give it 5 stars (because the quality of the popcorn it turns out is phenomenal) but can't due to the danger involved in operating it. Sigh.

One last note: Skip the butter dripping feature. If you want butter, melt and pour it on after.
I can't recommend enough using olive rather than canola oil -- it adds a certain movie theatre quality that butter doesn't quite provide (given that movie theatre butter isn't actually butter anyway).

Popcorn Popper

This is fun to watch and the popcorn turns out pretty good. The popcorn does burn easily, though. The popper is a real pain to clean. I gave it away to a family member that has children as it is too much trouble for just one person.
