This truly is the best popper. In fact, I e had my original one for 4 years now. I just received the same one as a gift. I make popcorn several times a week and this product has outperformed all other poppers. The non-stick finish is like new. The top/serving bowl still washes clean and has not cracked. The popper continuously pops well. I'm kinda in love with the color of the base too.
