Promising review: "My 4-year-old daughter and I are obsessed with popcorn. I was thinking about getting an air popper you plug in, but I’m so glad I went with this one. It's easy to use, works wonderfully, and is a breeze to clean and store. I fill the little cup on top with kernels, pour them into the container, and microwave for two minutes. That’s just the right amount for one person. My daughter loves helping, and she’s always excited to see the popcorn when it’s ready. It’s also dishwasher-safe! There are a few unpopped kernels, but that’s normal for most popcorn makers." —lost22
