The popcorn comes out just the way it should and I LOVE it. The Stir Crazy works so well and it is fun to watch.  I also bought one for my grand kids and they had NEVER seen popcorn pop!!!  Neither had their Mother!!! She sent a video of them watching it pop for the first time and all five of them were screaming in delight. It was just so fun to see!  They are enjoying their Stir Crazy almost daily now.
