This 16 cup Popcorn Popper still Works great despite the distractors noted in my review. Moreover, this item would be perfect for the purpose intended but for the less than satisfactory strength of the materials used in construction. Knowing what we know now and consider the function and price we WOULD still buy this item again, being more carefully and gentle in use.
Significant cracks have splintered along a few stress lines while a couple of somewhat large (pieces of plastic LARGER than quarters) were easily broken off during normal use -- to include in use, cleaning and putting into and out of storage.
We are fans and owners of numerous Cuisine Arts products. Those products are plentiful throughout the kitchens of our many homes. We choose Cuisine Arts brand when selecting items to give as gifts. This single less than optimum item is NOT representative of what we have received year after year from our wonderfully designed, crafted and produced Cuisine Arts goods.

Slow to heat up. Tricky to lift entire unit because lift handles and popping bucket handles/releases are easy to confuse. The kernel mixing bar is too high from surface and many kernels stay up on outer ridge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine makes great popcorn, and it makes a lot less mess than using stove top or the microwave. I have a glass microwave popper but the kernels get stuck and I have to use a knife to get it loose. This machine makes life so much easier and the popcorn taste better. When I make popcorn on the stove, I almost always end up scorching a few kernels I don’t have that problem With this machine. It was well worth the cost for this popcorn popper.

This is a replacement for a previous Bella popcorn maker. The other was more of a dome. Like the shape of this one much better. The only complaint/comment I have is it is slow to hear. I suspect this is because of the removable heating plate, which is actually more functional than the previous model. Over all, very good machine. I would buy another.

Love this popcorn popper! It’s so easy. Cleaning is a breeze. Now anytime I want popcorn it’s easy to pop delicious, fresh popcorn! I’ve had others that were so messy so I’m enjoying this one. Love, love, love it! Gets 5 stars from me!

I love that the heating base separates so I can wash the popcorn base under water! Great popcorn popper. The only drawback to me is the popping base is smaller than most popcorn poppers that I’ve had in the past. So far I’ve been very pleased with it.
