The only thing I didn't like is that the box was not sealed. e.g. The product box wasn't inside a shipping box. I inspected the popcorn machine. It looked new. Easy to follow directions especially for first time. Smart design. Makes great popcorn. Does not shut off automatically but it's far easier than standing at the stove shaking a pot. Using the largest load of popcorn, the stirring popcorn maker pops amble popcorn for two people watching their carbs like we are.
