Pleasantly Surprised!
I've had an Orville Redenbacher Presto Powerpop microwave popper which I've loved. I purchased it when it became known how toxic the microwave butter fumes could be in prepackaged commercial products. After DECADES of use the lid cracked. Parts weren't available so I was just going to replace it. This type caught my eye so I decided to take a chance on this instead.Pros:Pops evenlyLarger capacity than the prestoNo odd smells or flavors from the siliconePerfect, non-burned kernels using included instructionsNo ongoing investment (I don't have to buy replacement power pop concentrators)Cons (or pro depending on the person)Instructions indicate popping with oil will cause the silicone to scorch. I usually pop with ghee. (BUT, since oil is not used, easier cleanup, and multiple uses before cleaning.)I don't have to worry about someone putting the bottom of the presto popcorn maker in dish water, and it will be much easier for my family to use as they just have to fill to the line, add the lid and push the popcorn button on the microwave for popcorn perfection. Having to melt butter in a separate container is a minor annoyance, but ease of cleaning overcomes that.I do have some concerns over silicone and high heat, and it's too soon to know how durable it will be or long it will last long term, but at this time it has exceeded my expectations and I recommend this product. If it fails then I'll return to my old stand by.

Great popcorn
I love this, great way to make your own organic low calorie popcorn. I use coconut oil in the bottom, fill popcorn up to the first line and it makes great fluffy popcorn without burning and almost all the kernels pop. Highly recommend. Easy to clean and collapses for storage.

Simple, effective & easy to clean
I was going to buy an air popper, but a friend recommended this. BEST recco!!! It is so simple - put kernels in and microwave! Works perfectly! Simply wipe out to clean in a second or two!!! (I add some spray olive oil and salt once I have transferred the popped corn to a serving bowl, keeping this popper easy to clean)

Super Handy
This is super handy for making your own popcorn. We pop it in here, and then spray some oil and sprinkle salt on the popcorn. Better then any kind of microwave brand. I took one star off because we get more unpopped kernels with this than we do making it on the stovetop.

EZ to use, pops great
This is bigger than I'd like but it works really well & the popcorn pops surprisingly well. I also like that it has handles & I don't burn myself getting the popcorn out of the microwave. Highly recommend.

Exactly as advertised!
If you follow the directions, it makes a wonderful batch of popcorn! I use the popcorn setting on my microwave, and it works perfectly. It collapses down so it is easily stored away. I love it!
