The popcorn popper is wellmade and works well.  I have used it about a dozen times and it has performed very well.  The removable stirring plate makes it easy to flip the lid/popcorn bowl over for use as a bowl.  The large vent area at the top keeps steam from condensating in the bowl so it does not get soggy during the popping process.  Each time I had less than 6 kernals that did not pop.  The only drawback for me, I had to take the stirring bar off and make a few adjudtments to the angle of it due to it being set too high out of the box.  It did not catch the majority of the unpopped kernals while stirring.  A couple of bends and now I am very pleased with my popper!

After flipping the popcorn, I place the stirring plate in the sink.  The base is still extremely hot and cause burning of any left over oil or butter residue in the stirring pan.
