Dash Turbo Pop Popcorn Maker - Theater-Style Popcorn Machine - Comes with Measuring Cup & Butter-Melting Tray - Convenient, Space-Saving Design - 8 Cups, White

TIP: When you put in kernels in, put about 1 tbsp. Not a full measurement of the measuring cup provided. The less you put in to cook at a time, the less that end up unpoped. When I did my first popcorn popping with this, it didn't pop half the corn kernels. Then when I hand picked them all out and ran them through again, they damn near all popped. So I put new kernels in. The first time my mistake was filling the measuring cup all the way. The measuring cup that came with it that is. This time, I filled it about 1/4th. That time I was impressed. There were only 3 kernels that didn't pop. The machine works great. I've used it about 7 times. It heats up quickly, like a plug in space heater, and smells just like one too. While sounding like a hair dryer. And it is really fun to watch the popcorn spining. The kernels do pop violently, but that is their nature. Over all very satisfied. I'm happy I went with this newer version for $10 more, since they claimed the spinning helped pop more kernels. I have no way of knowing unless I buy the other and test them. Even if that isn't the case and out doesn't help, the spinning is fun to look at. I wanted a way to have a healthy snack without oils or butter, and this was it.

Just used my air popper for the first time. I like that it does not require oil to pop the kernels. I use truffle Parmesan seasoning and it is delicious. Some of the kernels got stuck in the main cavity, so they kind of started exploding out the top. The machine also expelled a good number of unpopped kernels pretty early in the popping process. I will use less than one cup of kernels next time. Instructions say to use big kernels, which I did, not specialty small ones. Overall, I am happy with the product as it is pretty cheap and makes good popcorn. Saves my stove top from being wrecked by me shaking a pan for 10 minutes!

Do not recommend this to anyone. Very bad popcorn maker, kernels shoot out before popped and when they do pop the popcorn shoots all over the counter and floor. Very disappointed.

So far the quality of the popped corn is great. The machine is easy to use. Very cost-effective too. Except for one feature, I am very pleased. The hood of the popper is not large enough to direct the popped corn into a bowl. My dogs were thrilled when I used it the first time because the popped corn shot all over the kitchen; as far as the opposite side of the kitchen and all over the floor. My dogs thought it was their treat - they ate every piece of popped corn that hit the floor. If I had made a video, it would go viral because it was hilarious. However, I didn't buy the popper to entertain others on YouTube or to feed my dogs unexpected treats. I was somewhat at fault because I didn't stand next to it to see if there might be an issue the first time I used it. BUT, I like how the popcorn turns out well enough to try to figure out how to add to the hood so the popped corn will be directed into a bowl. The packing was good, the time it took to arrive was excellent, and the quality of the popped corn is perfect. I wish the manufacturer had included a bigger hood my review would be 5 stars. Despite the initial chaos, I recommend this popper.

Pros: 1) you do get popcorn from it and 2) it's easy to use. Cons: 1) it moves on the counter from the vibrations (I had to wedge it against something so it'd stop moving away from the bowl) and 2) it shoots popcorn and unpopped corn kernels past the bowl. If there was a guard to prevent popcorn from flying too far, this would be a much better product. For context, I'd say the machine successfully pops 90% of the corn kernels while 10% of the kernels get thrown out before they're popped. As for the aim, I would say somewhere 80 - 90% actually makes it into the bowl, and you lose somewhere from 10 - 20% to the floor or countertop. On one hand, I get it: popcorn kernels have erratic popping patterns. On the other hand, they probably could have solved this by redesigning the shape of the spout to control the projectile patterns of the popcorn. Would I buy this again knowing what I know now? No, definitely not. However, I already bought and used it so I'll probably try to make my own system for preventing the popcorn from flying everywhere.

I bought this 18 months ago but only started using it this November. It is amazing!! In about 3 minutes I get 4 cups of perfect popcorn, with pretty much ALL kernels popped (tonight there were a total of 7 unpopped kernels - better than when I pan-pop corn ) and none burned. And, I use “artisan” corn, ornanic, tri-color kernels, or all red, or all blue. They all seem to work fine. I do not melt butter in the “cup” so can’t speak to that (prefer to do that in microwave or stovetop.) Love the compact size! I will say that I took the time to thoroughly read the instructions and I highly recommend anyone who buys/uses this take the time to do that. They clarify that overfilling, not allowing a short cool off time between batches and more can cause problems (like some are complaining about here …). Really happy with this. If you buy one, hope you are too…

works ok, and pops quickly, but it is so short that it throws unpopped kernels out, they pop in the bowl and throw popcorn everywhere. It is very messy as the chute is also very short, so popped kernels tend to go all over. would recommend going with a full-size air popper.

Muy contenta con mi máquina de hacer palomitas. Fue un regalo espectacular para mi hijo

This machine is small but mighty. Works well and makes great popcorn. Is not as loud as my old one but isn't very quiet either. Doesn’t burn popcorn and goes through the process quickly.

fonctionne très bien

Es muy pequeña por lo que se debe de usar repetidamente (tres veces ) para hacer una cantidad similar a la de un tazón de cine. Se sobrecalienta muy rápido por lo que hay que esperar para volver a utilizarla. El ruido es elevado pero tolerable si se utiliza poco. La salida de las palomitas de maíz no está bien diseñada, ya que algunas salen disparadas y hay que atraparlas para contenerlas en el tazón. Buena idea poner recetas.

Not really satisfied. Heat and quantity. I would not buy it again
