This is amazing, we ALL really enjoy it! It is a huge hit when the kids have friends over or even when we are having family movie night! It is a perfect size. We usually pop 2 bags of the premade mix. So easy to just dump all the ingredients in and turn on. It says to let it heat up, but we don't and have never had a problem! It was a magical moment the first time we popped in it, the kids were glued to the smell of fresh popcorn and how cool it was to watch the popcorn pop out of the pot!!! Highly recommend!
