This made great popcorn! But I followed the directions for clean, that said to unscrew and remove the stirring bar, but the screw never fully came off, just the bar fell off , then the bar wouldn’t reattach. I couldn’t find any videos on YouTube, or anywhere else online to help me. Not sure how to fix the problem. They have great directions on how to make the popcorn, but not so good on how to clean the machine afterwards.

Made excellent popcorn but have only used this device about 6 times since purchasing in Sep 2023. My big complaint is that I've had some problems with getting the stirring bar back into its proper place after cleaning. I'm at the point now where the knob isn't coming off completely and the stirring bar won't go back into place. It also appears that the housing rotation mechanism is too high because it doesn't sweep the kernels until they start to pop. It's' a real bummer that it looks like I won't be enjoying popcorn again with this device.

It pops really well and I like the looks of it but it has a funny taste to it. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. My daughter agrees it taste weird. We have an air popper and a microwave popper that taste normal way better. I am trying to sell this on Facebook because I already threw the box away otherwise I’d take it back to Kohl’s where I got it.

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.

I love all the features this popcorn maker has ! It not only makes great popcorn pretty quickly, it does not burn or have left over kernels, After it is done , just turn it over & you have an instant bowl.( just be sure that the lid is secure when turning over )

This popcorn maker is nice. I purchased because of the all in one feature; the top becomes the bowl, however the lid wasn’t a snug fit and it fell off and dropped residual butter on the floor. Besides that, I like the way the kernels popped and the fluffiness of the kernels.

[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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this smartstore stirring popcorn maker. It's so simple to use!! i love that the measuring cup for the amount of popcorn that you need is right on the top of the container. I also love that you can melt your butter right on the top of the "bowl" while you are popping your popcorn. This machine is also a breeze to clean when you are finished with it.

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.

My husband and kids love popcorn. It can either be for a snack or for movie night they usually want popcorn. I bought this as a surprise for our Saturday night movie, they all had fun making popcorn with it. Our kids are 6m, 5m, and 3f, they all enjoyed watching the popcorn being popped as well.
