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

The item finally came in after being lost in the shipping system for a while. It feels solid and well made, easy to use, and no issues with the painted finish so far. It definitely feels like an heirloom item, an investment instead of a purchase with a countdown to replacement. We've popped a few batches now and it just works every time. Nearly every kernel popped and tastes great. Easy to disassemble and clean.

Great stovetop popcorn maker. I bought this for my daughter & her family for Christmas. They love it! It is EXTREMELY pricey, but I did find a sale during the holidays which made it a little more palatable. It popped all the kernels & was pretty easy to clean. It has a nice weight to it so I'm hoping that it will hold up well.

The product looks amazing. The packaging was fantastic. It even makes great popcorn, if you buy their prepackaged stuff. I found it to be too much trouble to use, and instead put Popsmith's prepackaged mixes into my microwave popper... and gave this one to my neighbor... who loves it. To be fair, my issue is more about my apartment's coil stove burner vs a gas stove burner rather than the Popsmith Popper.

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. :)

I bought this Popsmith Popcorn Popper in Mint, paying a premium price for what looked like a quality product built like a tank. I thought it would last a lifetime and produce great popcorn. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. I tried it today following the manufacturer's directions exactly. The resulting popcorn was like extremely tough cardboard with a vaguely burned taste - completely inedible. There were also lots of unpopped kernels left in the bottom. For the price point of this popper, the results are unacceptable. A simple air popper produces far better popcorn at a fraction of the cost. The build quality may be solid, but that doesn't matter if it can't perform its basic function of making edible popcorn. I'm returning this and replacing it with an air popper. I give it 1 star, and if I could give less, I would. Save your money and buy a basic air popper instead - you'll get much better results.

Literally, my first batch, all of the kernels popped but two! This is a premium pan with a more reliable mechanical crank system. Yes, it was overpriced, but it is in fact high quality which you can see and feel, so I am not mad. I tried the Whirly Pop stainless steel pan, but it did not work on my induction stove. Yes, the Whirly Pop couldn't even get my stove to turn on. This high end pan worked perfectly on my induction stove.

Easy to use, works well, and easy to clean in dishwasher. Kits are convenient and tasty. Like using real ingredients and have stopped making microwave popcorn. Also, looks really nice and is sturdy.

I am a homemade popcorn addict and was really excited to receive mine. It is gorgeous, and it gives me no pleasure to report that I am VERY disappointed with it. The main problem is that the popcorn does not come out nearly as crisp and it does with my usual method, which involves a pot covered with a sheet of heavy duty foil in which I poke some holes. My suspicion is that the design of the popsmith does not allow enough venting and the retained steam affects the texture negatively. An second issue, which is annoying but would not be a deal breaker, is that the mechanism inside the pot for stirring the popcorn makes it really hard to get all that good salty oil out at the end and get it into the bowl. I will most likely return it.

..wenn man es aus Deutschland bestellt, ist es exorbitant teuer mit Einfuhrzöllen etc und man kann Popcorn sicher auch in einem handelsüblichen Topf brauchbar hinbekommen - aber ich muß sagen (und ich habe es jetzt schon einige Monate), ich mag das Teil wirklich gern und benutze es auch regelmäßig. Bisher ist es kein verstaubender Küchengadget Fehlkauf. Das Poporn wird wirklich ein bißchen größer, wegen der gleichmäßigen Röstung. Mein Lieblingszezept ist 2 EL Coconut Oil, 1/2 Tsp Salz und 2-3 EL Zucker und das brennt in dem Topf auch eigentlich nie an durch die Bewegung und das Popcorn ist auch gleichmäßig damit ummantelt mit einer leicht crossen Außenschicht durch den karamelisierten Zucker. Das ist mit einem normalen Topf schwieriger.
