 This is the machine you want September 7, 2008
We love popcorn. We wanted the best popcorn popper available. So first we bought the Cuisinart for a lot of money and it turned out to be a piece of garbage that broke in two days. The Stir-Crazy machine makes perfect popcorn. We've been using every day for months now with no problems at all. I hope it lasts for years. When it eventually breaks I'll order a new one right away...
Makes great popcorn, every time August 16, 2008
I have to admit, the first couple of batches got mixed reviews in our home. I was however impressed with the incredibly small amount of unpopped kernels - and this is using a cheap store brand bag of seed.
As soon as we figured out our preferable amount of oil, seasonings and seed we were sold. It took a few trial batches but it was well worth it. Now we can get pull out the popper and have a bowl of hot, fresh popcorn on our laps in no time.
We have fun experimenting with gourmet seeds and coconut, olive, peanut and corn oils. With seasonings like white cheddar, caramel, ranch, barbeque, chocolate, marshmallow, etc the options are endless!
My only issue is the butter well doesn't work so great, but we found its better tasting and less messy to add the topping oil in before you pop.
Also I've no problems with cracking, peeling or any other structural worries. It seems solid, works well and is used at least 3 or 4 times a week in our house. Overall, we love it.
Best Popper By Far June 28, 2008

I can't understand the few reviews that said they could not get the popcorn to pop. I am on my third popper in the last 20 years and it is great. It is fast, the corn pops fully, crunchy, hot and you can use as much oil as you like. What I have found is that it is best to just put a few kernels in and do not add the full batch of kernels until the first few pop. In this way you are putting unpopped corn into sufficiently heated oil. I don't usually use the butter feature and I saw someone thought that the popcorn popped too quickly for the butter to melt (which is true since it does pop fast). To use the butter feature, let the corn pop without the lid, unplug the unit, put the butter on top and put the lid on. The steam from the corn will melt the butter. Is it perfect? No. You do have to monkey with the metal rod a bit and the dome will eventually crack (I also dropped the base breaking off one of the handles). However, if you like popcorn and hat the styrofoam variety that the air poppers make, get a Stir Crazy.

I know a lot of people seem to like this unit but it didn't work for me and I returned it. I tried several ways, pre-heated, from cool less oil, more oil, fresher popcorn... but it never fully popped the corn plus it is a mess to clean up. If you use the built in butter lid it burns before the corn is done. We replaced our old reliable air-popper. Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper

I bought this stir crazy popcorn popper and after about the third use, it got to where it did not want to pop the kernels anymore so i trashed it. It was a big disappointment too, cause i put a rush on it to get here.
