The only popper I've ever purchased that pops every kernel. My fist Dash popper finally broke after about 8 years abd I couldn't find the exact same one so I purchased two other poppers that were absolutely horrible. I returned them and took a chance on the "new and improved" Dash popcorn popper - whenever a company upgrades, it's never really better. This one absolutely is and I'm thrilled with it. I can't recommend this popper highly enough!One caveat: I'm used to the butter melt tray being the right measurement for the amount of popcorn to pop - because it pops every single kernel, I recommend half the tray of kernels for a very large bowl of popcorn.
