I love the measuring cup! The stern method help popcorn to pop up, and nothing is left as a seed and I love it. I also love that you can all use a love dishes because the same cover for the popcorn machine is a ball that you can use it . Fast shipping. The only advice that I can give is don’t let kids using it especially with the ball it’s light. If they drop it they may break it other things. I love this machine. I’m gonna new use it often. I will buy one for my mom and another for my sister.

My whole family is so glad we purchased this popcorn machine! We use it multiple times in a week, and since it’s so easy to use, we sometimes even use it multiple times in a day. Easy to clean! Not too many parts. We enjoy making butter popcorn or kettle corn. This is an amazing little machine!!

Can’t really use the flip over feature as a bowl because the plastic steam cover falls right off. Butter doesn’t melt very well in the steam tray either and that is why I chose this particular model. Not thrilled with my choice. The popcorn burned the first time I used it and kinda tasted like the coating on the heat plate. I washed it really well with vinegar. Hope that helps.

I love popcorn with only a "Dash" (haha) of salt. This has made my snacking very easy (too easy). But at least I think it's healthy (I use coconut oil). I know all the kernels are moving around, but I like to mildly shake it to move the outer kernels to the middle. After popping has almost stopped, I turn it off and flip it onto a cookie sheet (to catch small pieces), then from there, flip the popcorn into a large bowl. That's where I sprinkle it with salt. That way, I only have to wipe down the popcorn maker bowl with a paper towel. After about 6-7 uses, then I'll hand wash the bowl. I like to let the popcorn sit for a half hour or so... I think that softens the popcorn up just right. I also only use a slightly wet paper towel to wipe down the popcorn maker after it cools. The only thing I don't like, is that I have to unscrew the stirring bar to clean the maker. I just feel that over time that the constant screwing on/off of the plastic piece holding the stirrer, with as much popcorn as I am now making, will fail. But so far so good... so five stars.

This was a little surprise for my husband's birthday. We have tried several other makers and until now the best was the stove top, spinning popcorn maker.The local food store has recently started selling AMC popcorn, but aside from it being hit or miss with regard to over salting or "stale", the price kept increasing (and ended up being bird food),This popcorn maker by Dash not only allows you to make as much or little as you want, but it's FRESH all the time and you can adjust your seasoning, etc. Very happy to have made yet another great Dash purchase :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Popcorn is a popular snack in my house. I don’t mind microwaved popcorn, but I know it’s not the healthiest way to pop the kernels. This Dash Smartstore Stirring popcorn maker is super cool. I’ve never used this kind of popcorn maker before, but the instructions made it super easy to use. After washing down the parts, only a couple needed to be unscrewed to wash, and putting it back together, I was set to use the machine. One of the items included with the popper is a built in measuring cup for the kernels. Being able to choose the amount I wanted is great. Enough for one person or for a family to share. This part can also be done by my 11 year old, with some supervision. I love adding butter to my popped corn. The top of the Dash maker has holes, not only for venting, but also to add butter too. I did notice when I first used the popper, my butter kinda started to burn a little. But I think the problem was older kernels taking to long to pop! It states to use newer kernels, so after buying a new bag and popping more, I was very happy that they popped up faster and didn’t burn. Flipping the popper over was simple. I used oven gloves and after unplugging it and putting the measuring cup back on, did the flip and successfully kept it together. Having the built in bowl is super nice. It’s one less large bowl to clean. As for cleaning, taking apart the few items again is easy. Everything was simple to clean. The base did take a bit more soapy water, and I had it tilted over the sink, but after a couple passes it quickly wiped away. Storing the popper was nice, it doesn’t take up much space after it’s all nested inside the bowl. I love that it has storage on the bottom for the cord, most items don’t and it gets in the way. So this is a huge plus. Overall I thought this was a nice popcorn popper. The assembly and clean up is quick. Fresh popcorn kernels pop up nicely and it stores away in not much space. Only negative was cleaning, if it’s overly buttery or oily, it takes a bit more to clean. But I would recommend this, since it’s so much more fun and healthier then microwaved popcorn.

We really enjoy our popcorn maker. We use it almost daily. Most of the kernels become popped and never burned. The popcorn is much tastier with this method versus air popped.The only drawback was that our previous popper had the on/off switch break, so we had to buy a new one. Hopefully, the replacement will last longer this time.

This is the best popcorn maker I have ever used! So convenient, does not burn the popcorn because it keeps stirring, and it is such a cute addition to the move night. Always fresh popcorn during the movie time. The fact you can just turn the machine and use the cover as the bowl is amazing. I am in love with it.

I grew up with a stirring popcorn maker and it always popped the perfect popcorn so I’m so happy to finally have one of my own, except I love the added feature of being able to melt butter that drips right onto the popcorn!! I think the stirring rod I have is slightly warped maybe.. one side is lower to the heating plate than the other, but that may be intentional?

Just received yesterday. The delivery person dropped over our gate onto the sidewalk. When I found it, it was laying with the bottom up and open. When I opened it they was not instructions for using the popper. There was a booklet for making popcorn balls. I made a batch and about 1/4 cup of un-popped corn was in the bottom. I had to put it back into the popper to finish popping. Needless to say it didn't taste as good. Otherwise it worked okay with very little oil.
