Owned one of these poppers a number of years ago and it was a workhorse and absolutely loved it! After that one failed we went back to using the stove top.  We recently moved to an induction range top, so had to find an alternative to our aluminum pot, and my first thought was back to the cuisinart popper!  I like the upgrade of removing the top of the bucket to release steam for crispy popcorn!  Great product.
