DASH Hot Air Popcorn Popper Maker with Measuring Cup to Portion Popping Corn Kernels + Melt Butter, 16 Cups - White

Pops corn efficently. The only old maids are from the beginning, it shoots a few out at first. I didn't use butter but I should have so the salt would have stuck to it better. It comes with some recipes that I really look forward to trying. It looks so pretty in my bowl all fluffy and fully popped. I'm going to enjoy this popcorn popper! So easy to use. Good value for the money.

This teal popcorn maker is a total vibe! The color adds a fun retro touch to my kitchen, and it works like a charm. It pops every kernel quickly without any oil, making it perfect for an healthy snack and clean-up is a breeze. Plus, it’s surprisingly quiet. It’s become a go-to for movie nights and a cute conversation piece when guests come over. I already ordered two more as gift for my friends. Definitely worth every penny!

It works well we got this to make healthier popcorn. Everything about the machine is good except the top removable cover is not good quality if you are not careful it will break easily. Makes popcorn within minutes.

My granddaughter loves it. She's not allowed to eat microwave popcorn because of her stomach, so I got this for her. It was a great price for a preteen little girl. And it was super easy to use with hardly any cleaning up. The kids loved it and it's healthier the the microwave crap. Just a little oil too. Tastes great.

Other reviews range from raving reviews to people's devices catching fire, to these ejecting hot kernels like Mario shooting fireballs.I can relate with each and every one of he reviews that came before this one... I agree with all 5-star, as well as with all 1-star reviews, no matter how good or bad.SUMMARYPops perfect popcorn.Gets really hot after a single use, which leads to other problems and limitations (read full review).Ejects kernels if there are too few.Impossible to pop onto a bowl.FULL REVIEWI’ve had mine for 8 months and use it AT LEAST once a week. I love the popcorn that it makes. It’s fluffy, perfect color and scent, and crunchy.That’s pretty much the good.4 major complaints are:1) This gets REALLY HOT after a single use.I haven’t dared making 2 batches, back-to-back, without first giving it 15 mins for it to cool down. I don’t know if it’ll catch fire, but it’s hot enough to believe that’s a possibility.2) This get REALLY HOT.You can’t easily pick up the butter tray on top. I tried using once and it failed so never again. Now I just pop and lightly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil (then cover all with salt and sprinkle a little rosemary)3) Burning hot kernels fly everywhere.You MUST do a full serving as explained on the instructions that come with it. You will still get one or two that fly out, but the mass of the full serving of kernels helps weigh them down.4) Popcorn goes all over the place.Impossible to have these pop out onto a bowl of any kind. I use a deep rectangular container that is meant for loafs of bread to collect them in. You need something wide and deep with a tall wall that will help stop and collect the popcorn.Here’s the ritual that I follow when making popcorn:1/2 cup of kernels.Turn on and wait until they start popping.Tilt the popcorn maker back and slide the loaf bread tin in front.Wait until popcorn has half-filled the clear area, then tilt forward onto the tin.When clear area has noticeably less popcorn, tilt back again.Keep rocking until there isn’t enough popcorn left and the kernels start getting tossed up.Turn air popper off and shake so that kernels drop.Some more will pop. Continue to shake until they stop popping (usually 10 to 15 pop).Remove clear top and empty popcorn and kernels inside of air cylinder onto tin lid.Separate out the popcorn from the unpopped kernels (usually ~40 kernels).If you're an adult and don't mind supervising and literally hand-holding this as it pops, this is a perfect popcorn maker for you.

we use this almost everyday. it's working pretty decently. it's starting to become a little bit louder than when we first started using it. but I guess that's to be expected with a fan that's being rotated so fast with heat, blown at it and almost everyday use. overall, the size is nice if it's under a cover pretty well hasn't burned anything. it holds a really good amount of popcorn for at least two people. we don't use oil inside of it. we just air pop it because it's healthier that way and the popcorn quality seems perfect coming out of it as well. generally, there's only about eight kernels that are unpopped and that's probably just the kernels.

I’ve been using the Dash Hot Air Popcorn Maker for several weeks, and it’s been a breeze. Just measure the kernels, press the button, and in about 2–3 minutes you have up to 16 cups of hot, fluffy popcorn with no oil required. It’s super easy to clean and doesn’t take up much counter space. While most kernels pop, I did notice a few unpopped ones that sometimes get blown out. Also, the plastic top feels a bit flimsy and may not last forever but for the price, this popper delivers great results and convenience.
