My old Stir Crazy that I had for years quit heating, so I got a new one. This one. I loved my old one, I hate this one. I don't even like to use it, because the bowl doesn't sit right, the lid never stays on. It gets greasy all over, and it's a pain to clean. You can't eat out of the bowl unless you want grease or butter all over you and your couch. Also, after almost a year, it still leaves a wierd chemical taste on the popcorn. It's a shame. I'm really disappointed in this new model.
