This is great for movie nights! My kids had so much fun using this. They each made there own popcorn and it works great. The popcorn didn't burn which I appreciate.  Everything we do popcorn bags in the microwave they always tend to burn because we leave it unattended. With the u can walk away to check on the kids and it won't burn since it's popping out from the machine to the bowl. Only complaint but not a big one at all is when it starts u might get a few popcorn seed that fly out.
