Back to Basics PC17589 Electric Stir-Crazy Popcorn Popper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the fourth stir crazy corn popper I have owned in about 30 years.They last a very long time. It pops more of the corn because it stirs as it pops. You can use a lot of oil or a very small amount, whichever you like. You can pop a little or a lot. If the stirring mechanisum gets stuck, it reverses and turns the other way. It just works great. The only con I can see is that the base is not immersable, but it is very easy to clean. When the corn has popped you flip it over and the top becomes the bowl.

Perfect for anyone who loves to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch movies, this electric popper quickly produces fresh, hot popcorn in minutes. A motorized dasher in the unit's nonstick heating base keeps kernels in constant motion, perfectly popping each piece, while a butter well in the lid melts and adds butter during popping to create a consistent coating of flavor. The machine's see-through lid provides steam vents to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp, plus it doubles as a 6-quart (24-cup) popcorn bowl with a snap-on cap to cover the vent openings. Simply pop, flip, and serve. Extended handles assist with flipping the base and lid when emptying popcorn into the bowl. For compact storage, the 36-inch cord can be removed and the base nests inside the lid. With its retro style and countertop appeal, the popcorn popper measures approximately 12 by 14 by 10 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Nostalgia Retro Hot Air Popper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Two stars because it's cute and when it works I love the popcorn. Wouldn't buy it again though (bought as a Christmas gift- THANKFULLY I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ANYONE!). Poorly made. The bottom half of the door cracked and fell off the 3rd time I used it (seemingly for no reason other than heat???). Is constantly jamming as the first reviewer said. In my case it's because the lids get stuck and the pressure of the popping corn makes it stop (can you imagine popping popcorn inside a sealed tin can- you're getting the picture). Makes very little popcorn at a time but it's SMALL so that was to be expected. There is a similar popper sold here with different styling (red & yellow- more of a "carnival" style??) that I also ordered and ended up giving as the gift. It had gotten good reviews. The popping mechanism was the same but the quality of the case was better. I was suprised that they were made by the same company. I haven't heard yet how it worked out for them. This one won't last long but I've gotten addicted to it. I'll replace it with a comercial quality one (I found them when I ordered this one for it about $100 more if I remember right). Absolutely worth the upgrade if you're planning to use this more than once. By the way, the pre-measured pouches of popcorn from Wabash Farms (yum!!!) were suggested by Amazon to go with this popper- big mistake. This is a 2oz popper and they are for 6oz poppers. I had to pry the wedged popcorn out with a screwdriver!

Cuisinart CPM-800 Popcorn Maker, Brushed Stainless and Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is great in theory only. The promise of getting the taste and crunch of a pan-popped corn was a pipe dream. The design is poor. The lid traps the steam inside during the cooking process and results in tough, rubbery, styrofoam-textured corn. Plus, the popped corn had a weird taste that is indescribable.
We are loyal Cuisinart customers and have used the same model coffee maker for over 10 years. When one wears out, we quickly purchase another of the same. We were very shocked that Cuisinart developed such an under-performing product. And, as popcorn lovers, our disappointment was huge.

Cuisinart EasyPop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I suppose it could have been worse if the thing had burned down the house, but I would still classify this machine as pure evil. It is especially evil because it bears the Cuisinart brand name, leading one to believe it is a quality machine. For the price, it certainly should be.
I am not inept, generally speaking, but this "Easy-Pop" popcorn maker is far more trouble than it is worth. It is difficult to line up the heating element prongs when you put it together. This would have been an easy design element to fix, just by having slots with wide openings that taper down as the element slides in, properly aligning it. Nope. You have to line it up just right, and the marks on the back--NOT THE FRONT WHERE YOU COULD SEE THEM--are difficult to see and line up.
So, I add the popcorn and oil and turn it on. Fifteen minutes later, it's still spinning, but I don't have any popcorn. I turn it off, readjust the handles and make sure it is latched, and turn it on again. Ten minutes later, no popcorn, and I've lost all interest by now. Still, I try a third time to see if it will even work. It finally pops the popcorn. When it is done popping, I turn it over, but because the bowl does not attach tightly to the base, I allow a gap to open and popcorn goes everywhere. While trying to get it rightd and back together, I slip and burn my finger on the very hot element. Who thought it was a good idea to have people flipping over a burning-hot burner with just two tiny handles to hold onto?
I just threw all that popcorn away, I was so frustrated. After the first disaster, I'm sure I could use it better the next time, if it will heat up. Why would they call this an "Easy-Pop" popcorn maker? That should be illegal. They should call it the Dangerous-And-Difficult-Popcorn-Maker-That-May-Or-May-Not-Work. After that experience, I just want to take it out to the driveway and run over it with my truck. And I still have to clean the stupid thing.
Worst product ever made.

Cuisinart CPM-900PK EasyPop Popcorn Maker, Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had this product for years as my daughter is a popcorn fanatic. We never had any problems with soggy popcorn, perhaps because we remove the thin plastic lid from the top while it is popping. Which is something I think you are suppose to do otherwise you would get too much condensation built up inside the bowl. When it is done we attach the lid before we release the bowl from the hot plate and invert it. This product has been used heavily for 4 years and still works great. I am purchasing another one today for my daughter and her sorority house to enjoy.

Cuisinart CPM-900 Popcorn Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I gave this unit 1 star because in the course of a few of months I've had two now that have broken. Here's how it works when it breaks: you call customer support, they give you attitude, grill you as if you've done something wrong, they charge you $10 to ship the replacement unit and then you have to ship the broken unit back - so ~$20 to get a replacement for something under warranty. What breaks? There are 3 main pieces to the unit: the plug-in base, the heating element, and the bowl. The heating element detaches from the base, a very nice feature, but after about a month on the first unit the handles and clip that attach to the base broke. After another couple of months on the replacement the heating element stopped heating.
From a looks and *appearance* of built quality I'd give this unit 5 stars. But I think even with the vents in the top it still retains a little too much moisture. I think this keeps the popcorn from being as light as it could be. This is what I mean by good, but not great popcorn.
I've tried a lot of poppers over the years and I've learned that good popcorn matters a lot. My favorites are from [...] and Paloma De Colores (sometimes amazon sell this). Also, I've made my best popcorn with a whirly pop and just a pot on the stove. Problem with the whirly pop is they're a pain to clean and gets "icky" after a while, problem with the pot is that it's "interactive" (you have to shake it).
It's a nice looking appliance, the 3-piece design is a good idea, you can legitimately put what needs to be cleaned in the dishwasher. But you can easily double the cost of the unit in paying for shipping of replacements and you'll have to deal with very poor customer support. I'm now searching again...

Cuisinart CPM-900BK EasyPop Popcorn Maker, Stainless Steel and Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I surely gave it a fair try: popped 3 batches of various sizes, closely following all directions, using fresh popping corn from two separate packages. Results:
* Noticeable cooked plastic odor and taste in the popped corn - yuck.
(... when I returned it to my local retailer, the clerk told me he had noticed the same problem in their sample...)
* You like your popcorn fluffly and light?All three batches were denser and heavier than standard popped corn.
* Far too many uncooked kernels.
* Poor build quality: the base had a loose part rattling inside that sounded like a broken piece.
* Seating the hotplate into the base takes some getting used to. At first I thought I had it seated properly and the rotor moved, but the plate refused to heat, requiring that I reseat it repeatedly and very precisely to get the cooking element to connect properly.
It's a shame. I had high hopes for this product (I trust and respect the Cuisinart name - I have one of their food processors). I liked that it had an anodized heating surface - believing that should make it very durable. Results were terrible though.
