Original Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker - 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Popper With Five Popping Kits, Aluminum Popcorn Pot With Nylon Gears, Wabash Valley Farms Stove Top Popcorn Maker, Popcorn Pan (Red)

My teens loved this! They've been wanting to make popcorn "old fashion way". A friend recommended this item and it has worked great for them!

It works great !

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My sister has one and recommended it. This is so much better than our air popper. Popper is quiet, fun and we rarely have any “old maids”. Definitely worth the money.

Absolutely love this popcorn popper! You can control the amount of oil, salt and make as little or as much delicious popcorn as you want! It is the perfect popcorn popper that every popcorn lover must have!

I am so pleased with this purchase! I’ve never had more delicious popcorn, and the popper is way to use. It’s fun to crank the handle, too. Weird? Haha! I was surprised at how light weight the pot is, so I am careful not to drip it in fear of denting it. I also wish it were dishwasher safe. Cleaning it can be a bit of a pain, because I don’t like washing dishes by hand. However, that doesn’t stop me from using the heck out of this things I do prefer using my own pipcorn, oil, and seasoning, as I find the pre made packets expensive and too salty. I use coconut oil which gives the popcorn a nice flavor.

We have gifted a few of these to good friends.We've been through several of these ourselves (the original Silver metal model) over the last three decades-they will replace parts to keep yours going until you actually wear it out. Use the Whirley Pop and popcorn package with popping corn, seasoning and oil to make popcorn at home that is as good (and often better) than that great stuff at the theater. The pan is lightweight aluminum, with the twirly mechanism a bit heavier metal construction. The gear drive that makes the twirl when you crank the handle is plastic, but if you're using the popper properly (or would that be popperly-gotta love onamotopoeia?), the top doesn't get overly hot and they last a long time. The wooden handle and crank knob are cool retro looking. Emptying into the bowl is very straightforward and simple to do. Shouldn't take but a few seconds, certainly not long enough to burn any of the popped corn in the pot.Do a great popcorn and a movie evening at home for less than the cost of about two trips to the movie theater for two people-It takes about 3-4 minutes to do on the stove top, and properly used, there are very few "old maids" and almost no over-cooked corn.If you use the Whirley Pop Popper with the great popcorn Whirley Pop sells, a fantastic overall product.(Note: We have only owned the original model Whirley Pop Popper, but we see that they do now offer several more substantial models in stainless and copper, and even an over-the-fire model. We'll probably try out one of those when our current one wears out, which may be a while. We do really enjoy and recommend their products.)

Takes no longer than microwave popcorn and tastes so much better

Love this popper, seen lots of positive reviews on this and based on those reviews I purchased one for myself. Will not disappoint. Highly recommend.
