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

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.

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.

Update after fighting with the cover for one year: I finally duct taped the cover permanently to the base. Problem solved, but the design of the cover is ridiculous.Update after two months of use: I'm taking off one star because it's very difficult to put the cover on the popper. It's held on by 3 minuscule tabs that go into tiny slots. If the cover is out of shape in any way, the 3 tabs won't line up with the slots. With time, as the cover heats up and cools down, it can change shape. To counteract this, don't remove the cover until it has cooled. But actually, I had this problem with lining up the tabs from the beginning. Don't force them---they are very thin and could easily break. Very poor design! Dealbreaker? No, because there's nothing better at this price.UPDATE after one month of frequent use: This popper always leaves a circle of unpopped kernels about 1.5" in diameter in the bottom---the exact size of the grill in the bottom. I think this is because when there are no kernels above it, the remaining ones don't sit on or near the grill long enough to get hot enough to pop. I think this is a flaw but not a deal breaker. Another small design flaw is that the on/off switch is located on the "back" of the popper where you can't see it. If you're right handed, you will turn the popper so that the exit chute faces right and the bowl is on your right. This places the on/off button on the back of the popper.ORIGINAL 4-STAR REVIEW: I've only used this once and it worked fine. The popcorn came out nice and fluffy, aided by the air vents that allow steam to escape so the popcorn doesn't get soggy. Compared to my last popper, this one is slower to begin popping. The whole process took about 4 minutes, which is reasonable. I put in one-half of the measuring cup, and about 15 kernels failed to pop. That's reasonable too. These results---slow start and percentage of unpopped kernels---are consistent with reports by professional reviewers that rank it about #2 in air poppers. The price ($20) is reasonable for this product. I like that it has an on/off switch instead of having to unplug it to turn it off. The question is, how long will it last? My last popper lasted 30 years until I accidentally poured oil in it. The directions state to not let this popper run for more than 5 minutes, a hint that it could overheat.

This little DASH popcorn maker is such a win! It pops quickly, evenly, and makes up to 16 cups perfect for movie night or sharing.The best part? The butter melter on top! I just drop in a pat before popping and it drizzles down perfectly over the popcorn no mess, no fuss, just delicious.The aqua color is super cute too, and it’s compact enough to tuck away in Stella when we travel. If you love fresh popcorn and hate the microwave stuff, this is a must.

This popcorn maker is great! Popcorn comes out quickly and well popped. Sometimes it spits the kernels out with force and leaves some kernel flakes. Overall, cleans easily, works well!
