Salter EK2902 Electric Popcorn Maker – Includes Measuring Cup, No Oil, Homemade Fresh Popcorn in Under 3 Minutes, Uses Hot Air, Healthy Snacking, Detachable Cover, For Movie Nights, Parties, 1200W

Works great you need a big bowl though to catch the popcorn does fire quite quickly

Like most people, I was disappointed at the number of unpopped kernels and decided to use less corn next time to see if this would help...then I saw the word MAX on the measuring cup. There was nothing in the user instructions that says "fill to MAX line" but instead it says "do not use more than one measuring cup..." Well, I did use one measuring cup, not LESS THAN one measuring cup! I bet you're not supposed to do this (but the instructions don't say otherwise) so I sent the unpopped kernels for another "spin" and about 80% of them popped.Yes, there was some odour when used for the first time but this is gone by the second use.Next up, it's very entertaining. I do not own a large bowl SHORT enough to sit under the spout so I had to hold it at an angle "taking care that the edge of the bowl touches the popcorn maker." :)It was fun to watch the popcorn coming out of the spout until one or two random kernels flew into the bowl and decided to pop INSIDE the bowl, sending popcorn flying everywhere. I imagine I will still find popcorn hidden in corners of my kitchen for months to come.This gets 4 stars, primarily because of the less than informative instructions and the design flaw of making the spout too low. Otherwise, it's a great addition to the appliance family and provides great savings on buying microwave popcorn.And, add your own salt and butter/flavouring after the corn is popped. It doesn't say that in the instructions either but common sense tells me it would gunk up the popper pretty quickly.

My boys love this and so does the dog when the popcorn comes flying out. You can't help but laugh when it happens. Best thing I've bought for film night, easy to use and easy to clean

Husband asked for a popcorn machine for Christmas, works great, very quick to set up and start popping, only down side is a few unpopped kernels but I'm sure that happens with any popcorn machine

Excellent customer service,thank you

Firstly, the package arrived looking like someone had already opened it - the box was misshapen, seals looked stuck back on, not quite lining up where they should be. The guide inside was crumpled. There was no recipe booklet in the box, despite the box saying so clearly on the outside.The machine itself is alright, sounds like a loud hairdryer - not a problem per se, but the kernels don't all pop, I'd say only to about 60%. The result is also quite bland, because - as there is no fat involved - no seasoning will stick to it, unless you pour syrup or butter over it. This is not a problem - I wanted an air popper to avoid the extra calories - but something to be mindful of. The machine also gets quite hot, so something to keep in mind if kids are around.The kernels won't all land in the bowl in front - some of the unpopped kernels will jump out all over the place, pushed out by the popped kernels, so a bit of sweeping up to do after.Overall - an unenthusiastic okay, but expected better.

This looks really good and is small for Easy storage. It works well without needing any Oil added and is east to clean. However, I have two issues with it. The tube into which you drop the corn is not deep enough which means some of the corn fly out before they have actually popped. There are too many kernels that fly out of it (Id say 1/5 of what you put in doesn’t actually pop). Secondly, the shape of the outlet is such that the popcorn fly all over the place - even when trying to catch them with a large bowl. Still like it though but it could do with a bit of a redesign to make it really great!

Excellent product, in excellent condition, I am very satisfied

Nice popcorn but docking one star as it doesn’t come on just an Aussie plug but on a quite a large adaptor.
