I have ordered 7 or 8 of these and none of them work more than a few times. The longest lasted about 4 times and that was only one that lasted that long. All the others were bad out of the box. From the first time plugging them in, they would go for about 5 seconds and then shut off. I can see getting one bad one, but after returning exchanging that many.... I did it that many times just to see how many bad ones I would get and thinking I would eventually get a good one, but I finally got tired of it and gave up. It is hard to believe they could sell a product like that without correcting the problem.Pops fluffier, bigger kernels than a microwave popper using the same corn, with almost all the corn popped. The dome/bowl is easy to clean, even after using butter and salt. There's no lid for the top of the bowl, but a plate is good enough when shaking up the popcorn with seasoning.Best popcorn popper I have ever seen.Had to return it, ran 2 mins. and turned off. As usual, Amazon has the best return policy around.Great combo for a trucker!!Had since Christmas 2016, it's now July 29th 2017. Used it ruffly 20 times. Now it won't work. It just stopped. Also, as the corn Pops, white flecks get blown out the top. Got mine from Ace Hardware.Sometimes it works, usually it doesn't. We've had it less than a year, started acting up about 4 months ago. There is no on/off button and when we plug it in, it is hit or miss whether it will run. Looking for a different one today.And the price is just right!
