CUISINART EasyPop Hot Air Popcorn Maker (Red)

Ótimo....atendeu muito bem

We eat more popcorn now than I ever did before in my life! This popper is so quick and easy to set up and use. Even on nights when we are all too lazy, within seconds we pull this out and set it up, and within minutes (maybe three?) we have a big bowl of hot freshly popped popcorn. This continues Cuisinart's reputation for high quality and reliability. Clean up is quick and easy, and this fits nicely in an appliance garage. The only feature I do not like compared to a prior Cuisinart air popper is that the top of the chute is closed off and one must remove the cover to add the kernels. It is inconvenient but in no way stops us from popping popcorn almost every night. And we love the red color!

Popper does not work properly. On first try, the popper ejected 90% of the kernels unpopped over a period of 10 minutes. A competing brand of air popper I owned years ago popped all but one or two kernels, and did it in 5 minutes. The kernels I used first time on this Cuisinart came from a previously opened package. It occurred to me that the kernels might be stale, and that is why they weren't popping. So I bought a new container of Orville Redenbacher's kernels today and tried again. Same story - 90% of fresh kernels were ejected unpopped over a period of 10 minutes.

The EasyPop Hot Air Popper works very well. I previously had another hot air popper years ago, can't remember brand, and it did not have an on/off switch, this one does. The other difference between previous popper is that the butter warmer at top sits on a completely closed seat. The previous popper had this area open, allowing hot air to escape from top of machine. The butter melt dish sits within this area. I don't use butter so I don't use it. It's not too loud, has some noise but not super loud. Has a max fill line inside of popper and a manual with clear instructions for use and recipes. Great quality material. In my opinion the cost is justified. Received in the Cuisinart inner box, well packed, and an outer thick cardboard, Cuisinart labeled box. Very satisfied with purchase.

Great popcorn maker and easy to use!
