This popcorn maker is loud and, frankly, I don't like the greenish color, but it does produce good popcorn. It is easy to clean and so far has worked well. Putting the top plastic hood onto the base is a bit tricky but if you take your time, it work.
This does make popcorn. However, I have to tilt it back while the kernels or heating up, or the kernels fly out. I've tried using more kernels, less kernels, this is the only way to use the machine without hot kernels popping out at you. Once it starts to pop, I put the machine down, level on the counter. The other major flaw is the clear top portion. The plastic tabs have bent because they are flimsy and weak. I assume any day now they will break and I won't be able to use this machine :(
