Huge hit in the house! Works perfectly, very few, if not zero, kettles, also none burnt. Just put a large bowl under it and all popcorn will be collected.  Easy to use, I let my tweens use it. I was worried about the plastic part, but no worries. It does get hot, but nothing to worry about. It melts the butter (hint: cut it in small chunks before). I always remove it from the plug when not in use, so you avoid accidentally turning on (and save energy). So happy I don’t have to wash the popcorn pan and all the smell on it anymore! It is the highlight of the playroom!
