In all the years I've lived in America (28 to be exact!) I've never owned a popcorn machine, I think it was time! 3 boys later who had a popcorn machine on their wishlist, I made it happen! West Bend did not disappoint, I might add. This 6 quart stir crazy popcorn maker not only came in my favorite color (red) but also super easy to use, clean, and create our own popcorn for movie night. I love that it came with 2 different sizes for scoops. Easy to scoop up the kernels. I love the convenient cord storage on the bottom(very handy!!). As well as easy to flip the lid over and you have yourself a serving bowl with popcorn! As well as an easy way to store it away!! Love it, love it, love it!! Kids are so fascinated how it works and not one kernel is left behind!! I am just happy how easy it is to clean!
