I love the popcorn maker! I don't own a microwave but craved popcorn often. I tried to make popcorn on the stove but it was too messy for me. I ordered this popcorn maker and it's so simple to use and works so good! I've been using it at least twice a week. I still live with my parents so I'll be leaving the popcorn maker to them. I'm hoping there will be a pink version soon! I'm a woman btw but my boyfriend allows me to use his card for purchases :)
