    Love it! Not easy to find a good storage place, as it is quite large for a small house.

    I love my Stir Crazy popcorn popper. My niece had one and used it when we were there. I don't like microwave popcorn - leaves the roof of my mouth feel greasy. I pop it in an old kettle on top of the stove, and the oil runs down and makes the bottom black. I ordered my Stir Crazy and love it!. It says to use 3/4 - 1 cup of popcorn, but I found that too much. I use 2/3 cup and works just right. I use coconut oil hard to find the ones that are coconut flavor, not flavorless. Love, Love it! It is lightweight and easy to operate. The only draw back, is where to store it. It takes up quite a bit of room, and can't just leave it on the counter. But other than that, I love it. I live in a small house with not much for kitchen cupboards. But WILL find a place to store it that is easy to get to.

    Not for me

    This was the model that was most praised on YouTube videos so I purchased it. It is large, it popped the kernels and dripped the butter but I didn’t like the added oil or taste (prefer air popped). When you turned the top over to use as a bowl it leaked butter out of the cap onto lap. A lot of washing up and drying and repacking and storing. Probably great for family but just not right for me. I did not experiment with smaller amount of oil and kernels though for a better size for one or transfer it to yet another bowl to wash because I personally didn’t like the taste.

  • They don't make them like they used to - so find the original!

    My mother had this model for 30 years and the plastic started to crack. I've seen nothing but bad reviews on the replacement models, so I wanted an original. This was definitely new, and had the box, so it made a great gift. My only complaint would be if you are going to charge $18 to ship, it should have been in it's own box and not wrapped with brown paper. It was quite battered by the time it arrived!

  • Crazy Man

    I had one of these a few years back and it lasted about 7-10 years. Dropped it once too often and the base broke and had to get a new one. Bought the newer version (red) with the removable cooking surface. It was ok until the oil got down into the base and final gummed up the stirring mechanism. till it would not turn and burned up the motor. There was no way to really clean out the oil in the heating base and there was no way to keep the hot oil from seeping into the base. This one only lasted a little over a year. I needed another corn popper and I was determined to try and get the Original Stir Crazy. It was difficult but I finally succeeded to find another one (New). I have now had this one for a few week and have used it almost every day since. It even pops quicker and better than the newer red version. I am going to take good care of this one as I am afraid that I will not be able to replace it if something happens to it. Maybe I will buy another one while I can, so I will have another one for the future. The Original Black Stir Crazy is the best corn popper ever made. Bring it back.

  • Light, Fluffy, and FAST!

    I couldn't believe the first time I used it! My old popper would still have kernels left unpopped and only filled the bowl 1/2 full with small crunchy bits of popped corn, and it took forever to pop that much. This new popper filled the bowl so much that I had to cut back on the amount on the 2nd batch. It produced a light puffy treat in hardly any time at all.

  • Great Popcorn Maker

    Best to use with Mega-Pop premeasured 4 oz popcorn kit with this machine. It tastes just like movie theater popcorn. Pops most all kernels. It cleans up very easy. I popped corn once a week for the unit in Iraq. It helped morale. It always worked well.

  • This style is best.

    I have used auto-stir poppers almost daily for maybe 20 years. I recently bought a 3-piece auto-stir popper (heater, pan/stirrer, cover). It was terrible -- burned the popped corn, stirring was intermittent and finally quit. Before and since the 3-piece I have used this 2-piece Stir Crazy style and will remain faithful as long as I can find one.

  • Mislabled volume size. But otherwise very good.

    The wrong size was listed. This is a 6-quart popcorn popper and not the 8-quart popper listed, that I wanted. I'm sure it was an honest mistake. The included manual covers both sizes. I wanted the bigger size. But what can you do? It's fine with it. Good product well shipped.
