What's great about it: looks
What's not so great: everything else
Ever since purchasing one of these Retro Popcorn Makers, we have been struggling to make it work efficiently. For every measuring cup full of seeds we put in (6T), we consistently get about 2/3 seeds back out - only about 1.5c popped popcorn for every full measuring cup. I've done some experiments using different popcorn types, warm up times, etc... measured with supplied cup, measured out the tablespoons, and also by weight and all trials yielded the same result - approximately 66% of the kernels came out un-popped. I've never had this much trouble with my $9 generic popper from walmart. The only way I can seem to get it to work without wasting a lot of seeds and money is to do 5-10 seeds at a time so I can throw them back in as they fly out unpopped.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: the price
What's not so great: it graudally decreases in performance
I purchased my popper in June 2011. It worked great at first, but as time progressed, it began shooting out more unpopped kernels than popped ones. In fact, when I finally decided to give up on it, it only popped about 20% of the kernels I put in. That is unacceptable!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Fun to use
What's not so great: Loud
kind of loud, but that is to be expected for an air popper. Does a good job popping the kernals, does leave some unpopped like all kinds of popcorn. Overall I am satisfied with the popper.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: healthier popcorn
What's not so great: noisy
I bought it for my wife, who enjoys popcorn and was cooking the popcorn with oil in a pot. This popper makes the popcorn a little bit healthier however it is more noisier when she pops the popcorn.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Movie night made. Small enough to easily store. Great!
