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 👍
I like everything about it. I've used it 3 times, so far. The color of the popcorn maker itself is unique. I like how the lid heats up enough to melt butter, just enough for some butter to pour over the popcorn when it's done popping. It's low maintenance, too- which is also nice. Lastly, it's easy to make the amount of popcorn desired.
