Made excellent popcorn but have only used this device about 6 times since purchasing in Sep 2023. My big complaint is that I've had some problems with getting the stirring bar back into its proper place after cleaning. I'm at the point now where the knob isn't coming off completely and the stirring bar won't go back into place. It also appears that the housing rotation mechanism is too high because it doesn't sweep the kernels until they start to pop. It's' a real bummer that it looks like I won't be enjoying popcorn again with this device.
