Great performance popcorn popper, does a good job. Cleanup on the other hand is tedious -the base handles (black area) collects oil condensate and gets greasy to handle when cleaning. The best method I suggest is damp slightly soapy dishcloth or paper towel, tilt the handle pointing downward facing sink bottom & wipe gently & rinse carefully. Avoid getting water in the under portion of base. @Dash, please advise any suggestions.
