Original Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper with Kernels – 6-Quart Silver Popcorn Maker, Fast & Easy-to-Use Snack Machine for Movie Nights, Durable Aluminum Stovetop Popper with Metal Gears

BEST popcorn popper ever! It never burns if you follow the instructions. East to clean and maintain. Best part was the popcorn packets...soooo delicious!

It really made excellent popcorn. Definitely worth it. The premade popcorn/oil packets the company makes work well with it and add the perfect amount of seasoning to it

I love this popper. I get some good coconut oil, some good popcorn, and put some salt in the pot before I pop ... it comes out delicious every time and this popper makes it super easy!

This popcorn popper is awesome it pops just about every grain and pops it about an average of about three minutes. I would definitely buy this item again

We bought the model with the metal gears (vs. plastic), for a few dollars more. We used it maybe a half dozen times and the metal gears became out of alignment, and we couldn't use it anymore. We hadn't had it long, and the company went good for a warranty replacement, which we had in 2-3 days. So, the product works great, it makes the best popcorn I've ever had at home. The quality feels a little on the "thin" side, but they stood behind the product and replaced it, so that's worth something. If you're looking for a popcorn popper for home, I have to say, this works great. I recommend.

My teens loved this! They've been wanting to make popcorn "old fashion way". A friend recommended this item and it has worked great for them!

I recall making popcorn the old fashion way many years ago before microwave popcorn. Wow this really brings back some great childhood memories. Sure you can make it in a pot like we used to, but the stirring device really is a great idea and this item is just perfect for popping corn in. First of all the aluminum is great at transferring heat and is really simple to clean. Our last batch literally had every kernel pop and did not burn. We have found that we simply can not have both all the corn pop and not burn some of it in the microwave. Corn sitting in the oil in a microwave bag....it just can't be good for it. Our last batch of whirley-pop was at least twice as fluffy and airy than microwave popcorn. You really need to taste it to believe it.Our last purchase of microwave corn will probably be our last one for a very long time. We use Orville Redenbacker corn and oil (Bought from Smith's/Kroger) and topped it with some real melted butter. So much better than microwave.A note on the warranty. I have not used it yet, but have some friends that have and they rave at how good they have been treated by this company. As other people have noted here, go gentle on the stirring device, its pretty much the only thing that will break. Turn the handle slowly, once it gets hard to turn you really have stirred it enough, let the corn finish the last bit on its own. The stirring part should really last for years if you just take it easy.Give this product a chance, what do you have to lose? Great price for a product that does a great job that is backed by a company that stands behind their product. Simple recipe for a no brainer win win purchase. The only reason I push so hard for this company and product such as this is because this is the type of company that deserves our money, they earn it!One last note, if you are on a diet then skip the butter. We use very little oil when we make ours it comes out great. You can get use squirt butter flavoring that adds little to no calories and still enjoy a great and now somewhat healthy snack.

Well, this is maybe the seventh or eighth Whirley Pop I've owned. Why so many? I keep giving them to friends and family who are blown away with how fast, easy, and perfect they are for making great popcorn.It takes about three minutes from start to finish for a big (6 quart!) bowl of fresh, hot, and really crisp popcorn. Add another minute to rinse the popper with hot water, and you're done! There are almost no "Old Maids" either, since the Whirley Pop makes popcorn exactly as a commercial popper does, plus it's fun and easy, too. Even the little kids can make it (with close supervision, of course).Check out the varieties of corn, oils, and flavorings available from Wabash...they even have complete pre-measured packs that make it really easy! And, if you want to get creative, you can make Kettle, Caramel, Cheesy and other styles of popcorn, too.One of the best values, best gifts, and best tools available. And you get some freebies when you register your popper's warranty, too!
