Cuisinart 1500-Watt EasyPop Hot Air Popcorn Maker, White

We like the extra capacity this popper can handle without shutting of as well as the even and efficient popping process. We also like the off and on switch and this is a better machine than the one we are now discarding.

We couldn't wait to receive this and it came fast but even a day without air popped popcorn is a long time for me! We were very picky about this popper. I read all the reviews and made sure it was top rated. After we got it it makes amazing popcorn and very nearly all popcorn kernels are popped. The popcorn is delicious. I almost forgot we love that this popper has a on and off button. I like that much better than just a plug in and unplug!

This popcorn machine is so easy to use and clean. It makes a large mixing bowl of popcorn in about 3 - 4 minutes. My boys love watching the popcorn pop through the top of the machine. It's fun for them and the popcorn tastes less greasy than movie theatre popcorn.

Just bought it,about 5, quarter cup of kernels popped later,I think this is a good air popper. I do use Orville,and it works even though some other air poppers appear to have issues popping their kernels.My other air popper never quite produced such fluffy,full popcorn.I am glad to once again be having a healthier snack! Hope it lasts longer than my other one.A potential shortcoming, the very thin plastic chute,and butter warmer.User tip,don't touch this chute immediately after use.

The fan gave out after 3 years, which caused the popcorn to sit still and burn in the hopper.Not worth paying extra for the brand name. My last air popper (no name) lasted more than 10 years, and I was using it much more at that time, often 3-4 times a week. This one I used 1-2 times a month, and it is dead.

I was expecting this item to be great but unfortunately it isn't. I have been using an air popper over the years that my parents bought when I was a child (more than 20 years ago) and I was expecting this item to be better. You have to allow the machine to completely cool off before adding more than the 1/2 cup of kernels otherwise it will burn. You also have to be careful because the air pushes up through the middle and causes completely unpopped/unheated kernels to just come shooting out. This doesn't work for me especially when the kids are having movie night and have to wait to get popcorn for everyone or share until more can be made. I do like the power switch option as that is different from my old one but I will be storing this item until my 20 year old one dies and I have to shop for a replacement.

Kernels fly everywhere, lots don't pop. 30 years ago popcorn poppers worked well, now for some reason they don't. We can go to the moon and use AI and the world wide web but we can't make a really good air popcorn popper. And yes, to compensate I tilt, but why should I have to compensate, it needs a redesign. Unless the problem lies in the modern kernels?

I bought this hot air popper after reading the reviews because I thought my old one was breaking. I finally got it out of the box to use it and plugged it in to the outlet and heard a popping sound and smelled smoke. I unplugged it and waited a little bit and tried again and heard a weird sound and smelled smoke again. Now it's sitting in a box. Im very disappointed with my purchase especially since I never got to try it out.

I love popcorn, so I was really excited after reviewing multiple hot air corn poppers and decided on the Cuisinart. I chose (because of the ratings) the Cuisinart EasyPop Hot Air Popper. When I received the popper, I took it into my kitchen and unboxed it. That evening I was excited when I got out the popcorn, the butter, and a bowl. I carefully read the instructions with the popper, then measured out the correct amount of popcorn and placed it into the popper. I then placed my bowl in front of the popper and turned the machine on. It really does heat up quit fast. Believe me when I say you do not want to place your hand anywhere near the front opening as it is very hot. Within just a few short seconds the force of the air was lifting up the unpopped kernels and tossing them out of the front of the popper into the bowl (unpopped). I started scooping them up and tossing them back into the bowl but after awhile that became difficult because they became so hot. I ended up getting a spoon and picked up the kernels with the spoon and tossed them back into the popper with the spoon. After a few minutes the corn started to pop but there was more unpopped kernels in the bowl than there was popped. I went through a lot of popping corn because a lot of it just seemed to get roasted and turned from white to brown but didn't pop. I am so very disappointed that it didn't work as advertised. I tried without success several times, but it always turned out the same way as the first time. No, I am going to return it and get myself a kettle popper that stirs the popcorn while it pops. Hopefully I will have success with it.

Very disappointed. Had it 2 weeks. The fourth time we used this product it quit working. By the time we pay for shipping there and back to repair it, its just as economical to throw it away and buy another brand. Sad, Cuisinart used to be better quality than that.
