Dash Fresh Pop Popcorn Maker, 16-Cup Hot Air Popper, White

I gave this 5 stars because it does what it advertises, it is quick, one heaping measuring cup fills a 5-quart mixing bowl with popcorn, it is easy to fill, clean up takes about 5 seconds, its compact, and the price is right. Some comments. Be careful because it is quite hot after use, as warned in the instructions. I mention this, because one does not expect a thin plastic item to be that hot. When all the corn is popped, I turn off the button and go about adding butter and some salt to the popcorn then sit and enjoy it. Later I come back for my 5 second clean up. It is inefficient to melt the butter in the measuring cup, I use a paper bowl in the micro, easy and no clean up. I have been on a low carb diet for a year, and this is my go-to snack. Use it about every two days. It does shoot some popped and unpopped corn around the countertop, but I don’t find it to be bothersome. There is only one item that slightly bothers me, and that is the two plastic clips that attach the plastic top to the base. They seem to be somewhat fragile. And therefore, I am careful when I attach the top to the base. One year update: I have used this popcorn maker 3 times a week for over a year, and it still works well. However, the weak part of the unit as I mentioned before is the plastic clips/prongs that attach the lid to the base. Although I took great care, eventually all the prongs broke off. The lid can still rest on the base, but there is a definite possibility that the lid might fall off during the popping. I simply placed a heavy weight in the measuring cup unit in the lid, and I continue to keep popping corn. I still highly recommend it because of its ease of use and cleanup and low price. I see no problem in buying a new unit once a year if desired, but for now I am happy with my jury-rigged solution. Note: As I mentioned before, popcorn is the only snack I allow myself; lost 40 pounds so far.

Love it as much as I love popcorn and movies! Really easy to use and it pops every kernel. The butter warmers nice but I don’t think it melts well. Overall a great bargain for fresh and hot popcorn! Super easy to clean and I love the oil free healthy food. It’s portable and functional.

Easy to use and no cleaning is necessary. I bought this back in December, and while it’s been great since then.. I am a little disappointed. I was expecting it to last longer than 7 months. The function is good.. only now it doesn’t get hot enough to pop the popcorn.

Bought this for my nephews n niece so they can make popcorn on home movie nights. It's super easy to use, works great, they love it! I like that it's a healthier option with fresh popcorn than the microwave popcorn bags. Machine is easy to clean, cute, and stores well, not too big. Would buy again.

This little popcorn maker has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen gadgets! It’s simple to use—just add your popcorn kernels, and while the popcorn is popping, you can place butter in the tray on top. The heat from the machine melts the butter, so when the popcorn is finished, you simply pour the warm melted butter right over it. I love that it makes fresh popcorn without needing oil, and it’s so much healthier than microwave popcorn. It pops quickly, is easy to clean, and the fresh popcorn tastes wonderful. The retro design is adorable and adds a fun, old-fashioned touch to movie nights. If you’re looking for an easy way to make fresh popcorn at home, I definitely recommend this popcorn maker!

I’ve had this popcorn maker for 5 years and have had no issues. I usually make 6-10 cups at a time with no issues. As others have mentioned, there are a few unpopped kernels at the end, but I feel that’s with most popcorn makers. I tip it over in the sink when I’m done and wipe the plastic with a clean cloth. Works well and good price.

I was really happy with this popcorn popper at first. It heated up quickly and popped the kernels very well, leaving very few unpopped. The popcorn came out fresh and delicious every time. Unfortunately, after only a few months of use, it suddenly stopped working. I was extremely disappointed because it had been performing so well up until then. I expected it to last much longer than it did. It was a great product while it worked, but the short lifespan makes it difficult for me to recommend.

This popcorn maker is very fast and easy to use. It pops a full batch quickly, and cleanup is much easier than dealing with a pan and oil on the stove. It is great when I just want popcorn without much effort. The only downside is that the popcorn does not come out quite as fresh-tasting or crisp as popcorn made in a pan. It is still good, especially for the convenience, but it has a slightly stale texture by comparison. Overall, a solid option and worth 4 stars.

As soon as it was turned it I could smell burning. I left it for another minute and then it started smoking and turned off. Sent back for a refund. Do not buy

I have had a few hot air popcorn makers during my lifetime. Traditionally, I would make the family popcorn on the stove, using a high smoke point oil. It always turned out great. Having more concerns for unnecessary calories, I now prefer hot air popping. The hot air popper we've had for years, but rarely used, wasn't cutting it anymore, or should I say, popping it. It was time to buy a new one, so I turned to the convenience of Amazon shopping, where I found a prime day deal on the Dash hot air popcorn maker. I am being totally honest when I say, it worked great. I used regular sized kernels as suggested, as the instructions claim regular size produces more fully popped kernels. I only lost three kernels, out of sixteen fully popped cups. Two popped into the bowl, being flushed out with large popping pieces, and the last unpopped kernel, remained in the machine. I used an 11" diameter bowl and did not lose a single fly out one, to the countertop or floor. All kernels popped big and fluffy. I was totally impressed. I didn't use the measuring cup/butter melter, just in case this popper proved to be less than its expectation, and returned. The machine does come with a manufacturer's two year warranty. Hopefully it lasts for many years to come. When and if it does require replacing, I would definitely purchase it again. Hope this information was helpful.

This is very cool, it make the popcorns ready in 2 mins. Good thing no Oil needed just hot air. Smells great when the popcorns are ready.

O produto não funcionou, fiz a devolução e até hoje não estornou o valor no cartão.

Burning motor smell when turned on, tried several times so not a “new product smell”.
