Popsmith Popcorn Popper in Butter - 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Machine - Stainless Steel Popcorn Maker Compatible with All Stovetops

This is a stunningly beautiful and well-made product that does exactly what it promises. It allows you to easily make top quality popcorn from home. I'm a huge popcorn nut and I've never seen anything else like this on the market. I've already made several batches with my family and we've devoured with delight. It's been fun to let my kids help and best of all, it's an opportunity to connect and do something fun as a family with a delicious outcome.Their popcorn kits make it super easy (the kettle corn in particular is delicious), but you can just make any popcorn you buy at the store work with it too. I'm already thinking of creative possibilities for add-ins and other seasonings.It's easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and works on my induction range. It's not too heavy, but clearly sturdy and high quality. It's so beautiful I've let it sit out on my counter to dress up my kitchen a little. :)

We've been using our Popsmith popper for a few nights now and, put simply, it makes perfect popcorn every time. So easy to use, you'll have perfect and incredibly tasty popcorn in under 10 minutes. It's fun to make, our 7 year old boy helps us do it too, and it's a breeze. There are very few, if any, unpopped kernels and you don't get any burned ones either. It's the perfect tool for movie night or just a snack. Get creative and create your own amazing flavors too. The popper also looks like a million bucks. We love it and we'll be buying more to give as gifts this holiday season.

My family of 4 absolutely loves the Popsmith popcorn maker, so much so that we bought another one for my brother's family too. It's become a tradition for family movie nights. My 4-year-old is now Dad's little popcorn helper and he thinks it's the coolest thing ever, turning the crank and hearing kernels pop!No more burnt popcorn smell or those annoying half-popped kernels. The metal pot cooks everything just right, and cleaning up isn't a huge pain (which is pretty important when you've got kids "helping" lol).Also, having a long handle and a small support handle makes transferring your finished corn from popper to bowl safe, clean, and easy. Genius. No more popcorn all over the floor and no burning yourself on the kettle!Totally worth every penny. If you want that real movie theater taste, you gotta try this. Trust me, your movie nights are gonna be so much better!

I used the popper one time. It made good popcorn, but the enamel chipped after hand washing it once. I reached out to the company, and they replied : " We use a premium paint finish on our poppers but like any cookware, it’s still susceptible to wear and tear, including minor chipping or flare marks. We’re unable to offer a replacement for this type of wear but please rest assured that these marks won’t affect the performance or quality of your popcorn." This is really unacceptible. I would NOT recommend his company. I definitely not classify one washing as "normal wear and tear"!

Can't say enough good things about our PopSmith popper. So often when we've made popcorn in the past, we've either burned the bottom layer or ended up with a bunch of unpopped kernels. The Popsmith makes perfect popcorn every time, whether we use a popcorn kit or grocery store popcorn. It feels high quality, looks so cute in our kitchen and is fun to use. My daughter loves turning the crank (and so do I). The popper does take up a lot of dishwasher space, so sometimes I throw the lid in and wash the pan by hand.

So I love the construction, no sharp edges to cut me like the whirly pop, I love how it works (much better than the whirly pop, IMHO). But as others have commented, the enamel is flawed. Mine is not really bad as some have been, but there are a couple places where the enamel is chipped. That's why I gave it four stars.On how it works, the stirrer works very smoothly; I really like how the crank is on the top rather than in the handle. The weight is very manageable without being flimsy. And it cleans up very easily, all parts come apart. The popcorn pops flawlessly in it; and it definitely works on induction.One warning: make sure the paddle is positioned so it won't come out when you pour the popcorn out of the popper. I did that once. It's wasn't a catastrophe, but it was a learning experience.I'm very, very happy with it. And I use clarified butter when I pop my popcorn. None of that fake stuff.

Here's why I love my Popsmith:1) The popcorn is fresh: so much better than the microwave chemical junk2) It's such a fun thing to do with my kids (6 & 4 yrs old). They love spinning the wheel, the smell of the fresh popcorn, hearing it pop, and having a role in making it. Even cleaning it teaches them responsibility3) It looks slick4) The pre-portioning: Helps simplify things a lotYes, it's pricey but it's one of few things my 6 & 4-year old like more than TV and freshly popped popcorn is also a healthy snack (as long as you don't overdue it with butter/salt) so I'm all in as a parent (and healthy eater). Happy popping!

After using this thing for the first time, I carefully washed it by hand with a soft sponge. Then I realized in horror that there was an 1/8 inch chip in the beautiful yellow enamel, right on the top. I was devastated, and mad at myself as I took it out of the box over a month I received the pot. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the product, especially given the price.Also, this machine makes a mean butter popcorn. But, for the love of everything that is sacred, I've never had a single good batch of caramel popcorn. I've followed the instructions on the packaging, on the website, and on their YouTube (yeah, they're all different) and nothing works. I don't know if I'm cursed or if they gave me batch of bad pop.Would not recommend.
