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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this popcorn machine. Not only is it easy to use, the cleanup is quick and easy as well. The machine comes with a recipe book of different gourmet popcorn. I love the "Beat Popcorn" recipe as it truly does make the best popcorn ever! You literally pour kernels on the black pan and drizzle them is the appropriate amount of oil, cover the kernels with the dome and turn it on. You can melt butter by placing pads on top of the dome. The butter will melt slowly into the popcorn. The total time from start to finish is 5 mins 30 seconds, but it's so worth the wait. This machine makes GREAT popcorn. I will not eat microwave popcorn anymore. This machine will make up to 6 qt of popcorn at a time. The only downfall is you must wait 10 to 15 minutes between poppings. Three words: BUY THIS MACHINE! You won't be dissapoonted.

This popcorn maker on paper seems amazing. But when you get it home, you realize how many issues there really are. I got this as a birthday gift in May, and one of the first issues I encountered is that there is not actually an instruction manual that goes with the popcorn maker. Rather, you have to scan a QR code to find a video on how to make the popcorn, as the ratio of popcorn to oil is not printed anywhere. I think it would’ve taken as much printable space for the instructions as it would have for the QR code... Let’s put the instruction issue aside. Those pictures they show you of the completely full bowls of popcorn? Fake. You cannot make popcorn in this maker and have it look like that. If you happen to put in a little too much popcorn, the popcorn maker begins to overfill. Popcorn that is burning hot spills out of the bottom, burning people, pets, and anything that happens to be underneath it. (It melted the trash bag I needed to use to catch the overflow!) Also, the base is quite heavy. If you watch the videos, you’ll notice that everyone is wearing at least one pot holder to protect their hand from burning on the vent at the top because you have to hold both ends to flip it over. The base is heavy and awkward to flip over, and the lid is very hot. It’s also a pain in the butt to clean. So if you want just a little bit of popcorn for a lot of cooking and cleaning effort, this is the one for you.

Finally got a popcorn maker. I decided on Dash SmartStore Stirring Popcorn Maker due to the wonderful reviews. I did a test run with a small amount of popcorn and nearly every kernel was popped. I'm happy. Hope this 3 qt machine gets me through the year. I highly recommend!!!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I love having movie nights, and movie nights require popcorn. This is such a funner way to make popcorn than throwing a bag in the microwave. My kids were able to help me measure out the oil and the kernels and they loved watching the popcorn pop. This machine makes everything so simple too! The measuring lid is divided in three sections which makes it easy to fill up one section of kernels for a small bowl or all three sections for a large bowl of popcorn. I love that the lid is not only a measuring device, it also snaps onto the top of the bowl so that when the popcorn is done popping you invert the whole machine and you have your popcorn bowl right there, lessening the amount of dirty dishes. The stirring feature is amazing as well. I don’t have to worry about any of my kernels burning. Awesome popcorn maker!!

Does exactly what it says it does. Only recommending that your butter be room temp when you use butter. When it is fresh out the fridge, it doesn’t fully melt and you don’t get all the goodness 🤍 No complaints. No burnt pieces and very few unpopped kernels. Happy with my purchase

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.

I still prefer the AirPoppper I had, kernels were fluffier, but this will do in a pinch. Melting the butter turned my 1st batch kinda brown. The birds got that! The 2nd batch I melted the butter the old fashioned way and my husband was a happy camper!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few days back and its a hit in our home. My kids love to see the popcorns popping through. And the best part is its without the harmful microwaves. It looks beautiful on the counter. It takes some time to heat up and once it starts popping its very quick. You can enjoy healthier popcorn with less oil in this.
