It should go without saying that popcorn poppers were originally made for popcorn. However, if you’re able to maintain these popcorn poppers well and wash them after each and every use, they will last you a long time. Despite the low price tag, these units are quite durable. Some manufacturers have a warranty on their products. With Whirley-Pop Popper Kit, you will get a 25-year warranty while the Franklin Original Whirley Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper has a lifetime warranty.
