This product makes popcorn quickly and it makes it easy to do so. There is also a tray that you put on top of the popcorn maker that can melt butter while the popcorn is made, that way once the popcorn is finished, you have some butter to drizzle over you freshly made popcorn!
Love it! It popped quickly and most of the kernels popped. I did think the pouring of the kernels into the popper was difficult. First time around many came out of the spout and fell onto the floor. If I was more careful it might not have been a problem, but the hole that holds the kernels is pretty small in diameter, so it may continue to be an issue. I didn't try melting any butter so I can't really speak to this feature yet. I felt like the time it took to pop was short and the amount for one go around was more than enough for 3-4 people. It took about 1.5- 2 minutes before popping began. I love how compact it is. I don't have much storage space in my kitchen, so the small footprint is really great! The retro color is cool too. There was a slightly acrid smell when we started it up, but I think it was due to being the first use. It's definitely loud, but that's probably true of all air poppers. Overall I would recommend!

Hello, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the Dash Fresh Pop Popcorn Popper. For best results, we would recommend checking the size of your kernels, as smaller mini kernels do not pop as well in air popping machines. Secondly, we'd recommend checking that you are using the recommended amount of kernels. Using less kernels can also yield negative results. If neither of these troubleshooting tips help, or you need additional assistance, please reach out to support@bydash.com & we can replace your unit, as it may be defective.
