Quick, easy to wash, and makes fluffy popcorn. The popcorn is a bit less crunchy than the oil popper I used to have, but I do like that it feels healthier. That way I can add extra toppings and not feel bad about it ;) I get the orville butter topping, add some real butter that conveniently melts in the lid, and toss all of that with some salt and it makes amazingly flavorful (and easy) popcorn!
