My kids eat popcorn nonstop! This is super easy to use and just as fast as putting a bag in the microwave. A few key takeaways- put the seeds in before you put the clear plastic top on, otherwise they will come out of the hole the popped popcorn comes out of. I didn’t have success melting butter in the little tray on the top, I had to leave the machine running well after the popcorn was done to finish melting the butter. The seeds will burn if you leave the machine run, they won’t pop with that extra time. It took a little bit of trial and error but now or results are great every time, can’t wait to try some of the recipes in the book that came with it!
