★☆☆☆☆
Terrible product.
Pros
- Automatically feeds the dog, who's able to scavenge popcorn this thing throws everywhere but the bowl.
- Some popcorn is edible and actually finds its way into the awaiting bowl.
Cons
1- Popcorn goes Everywhere floor, counter, sink, face of bystanders.
2- Many Raw kernels ejected prior to popping.
3- Yellow lid is flimsy, and does not attach securely to base.
4- Popped corn frequently 'logjams', throwing the flimsy lid off and causing popcorn fountains (much to the delight of the aforementioned dog)
5- Butter melting lid/bowl is useless.
6- No off switch, so you constantly have to reach over counters and behind other counter-top appliances to plug/unplug this.
7- Popcorn picks up a plastic taste. I do not believe they used a plastic that is up to the temperatures this thing reaches.
