Works very well. I used to make popcorn with a whirlypop hand-cranked kettle. This is nice that I don’t need to do anything but wait for the popcorn to pop. I recommend coconut oil for that movie theater flavor. The only flaw is the popcorn slides up the shallow sides of the pan while stirring. I found that after heating the oil, turn off the machine when you pour in the popcorn. Then put on the top and turn it on again. 1/2 cup will fill the bowl to top. Easily clean all the removable parts in the dishwasher.

Seems good so far. Plastic lid for cover after popping is a little awkward to connect because as you are attacking it it gives time for the bottom kernels to burn. Seems to pop very evenly and almost every kernel pops which is awesome. Others have said the latch handles break easily so I’m hoping that isn’t an issue but I have been as gentle as possible with them. Giving 4 stars only because of the limited use.

This is the best popcorn popper. I have had other and somehow the heating element would get oil on it from top. The heating element in this is covered. It is worth the money.

We've owned a few West Bend poppers, but I finally got tired of having to replace them every few years. The last one died because of shoddy plastic parts in a place on the popper that gets very hot and should have had only metal parts. The new Cuisinart popper appears to be much better built with more high quality metal parts. I'm looking forward to having it for many, many years.

Very pleased with this popper. I love theater popcorn and this uses the same popping method as the pros use….there are other stirring poppers out there that cost less, but there’s a big difference here as the cooking plate and stirring rod come off in one piece and are very easy to clean in the sink. Many other cheaper units have less capacity, aren’t as well made, and much harder to clean. This popper is very well made. I use pre measured packs that have an amount of corn, the correct seasoned coconut oil, and seasoned salt and in about 12 minutes I’ve got popcorn that is pretty much a match for what I get at the theater….if you’re serious about popcorn, this is the unit you’ll want.

Being old fashioned and throwing some oil in a 3-qt pot and popping it on the stove, we always ended up with quite a bit of unpopped kernels and had a few times with some burned popcorn. Although we have only used it a few times, we have been very impressed.
I am not saying it was the machine, but we were pleasantly surprised that using some popcorn that was more than 6 months old every single kernel popped. I had never experienced that.
So easy to use and easy to clean.
The only problem we experienced was eating too much.
