Really Great Popcorn

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.

Yum!

Love the product so far. If you don’t unplug right away, it will burn, so turn it off a bit earlier than you think you should. The popcorn is delicious and pops quickly. The bowl is large enough for a family but perfect for one as well. I can’t wait to use it again. Oh! And can’t forget the recipe card included, I’ll definitely be trying those out.

Great popcorn machine I enjoy it!

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.

Incredible Popcorn!

I've used this product several times. Combined with Orville Redenbacher's popping corn, this is easily the best popcorn I have ever tasted. This product is somewhat more complicated than the dry poppers I've used in the past. But considering the incredible quality of the product, it is worth it. This should be rated 7 Stars!

So Happy!

I had an old microwave popcorn maker, and it left a lot of kernels without popping. As soon as the Dash stirring popcorn maker arrived, I wanted to try it out. I put Ghee on top, and a bit of avocado oil in the bottom. It left no unpop popcorn. I was amazed! I made a good choice. Love it!

Best popcorn maker

I love popcorn and have tried numerous other popcorn makers, including air poppers and various microwave bowls, and this popcorn maker is by far the best. No burnt popcorn. No unpopped kernels. Popcorn seasoning sticks to the popcorn after popping. You can even make kettle corn easily with this. Highly recommend.

Flawed design, to say the least...

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.

Super easy, makes great popcorn!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this machine!! My fiance and I love making fresh popcorn and this gadget is fantastic! We usually do the stovetop method, but that requires constant tending. This machine has a little arm that sweeps the kernels across the hot plate so they don't burn and you don't have to worry about constantly agitating it. The measuring cup that comes with it is great for helping you figure out how many kernels you will need and the machine itself is very efficient--we had almost no unpopped kernels when we shut the machine off! I also love how the topper acts as a butter melting platform AND as a bowl. I'm always excited to have one less thing to clean up at the end of the night. Plus the bowl fits around the bottom of the cooking unit for easier storage too. Really love this machine!

Love this thing!

This popcorn maker is a game changer for movie nights with the kids. They love watching it pop and we are able to make a ton of popcorn without using a bunch of bags or making a mess. Unfortunately I dropped the lid and it broke after 1 night of use so I am shopping for a replacement lid already.

Great but not Fantastic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so looking forward to getting this. I would like to suggest that you consider adding a cover snap to the large bowl lid. I pick it up and shake it to bring the unpopped kernels to the center as several end up in by the handles. The taste of the popcorn is tender and wonderful taste. So much better than using my kettle.
