This is very easy to use however if you don't have something to cover the popcorn from flying everywhere it's going to go everywhere, also the melted butter feature isn't the best feature in all honesty I hardly ever use it. Otherwise it works well
Easy setup, easy clean up, easy for the kids to use (13 and 7). I recommend Amish Country brand kernels and seasoning but that's a personal opinion. Did NOT use butter warmer, seems like more work and a mess that I wasn't willing to experience. The machine works great 👍
