Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with Dr Robin: this is a piece of junk. The gears do not mesh properly and the design of the cooker is so bad that a dead frog could pop corn better. The gears skipped almost always, and when I held the cooker so they didn't skip the machine still would not pop 4 ounces of corn. The corn gets stuck, impacted, and burnt and afterward had to be pried out of the cooker with a lot of effort.
Rather than try returning it, I took it on as a fix-up project. I moved the main motor over one third of an inch and that fixed the gear problems, which tells me the problem should not have existed in the first place had any thought gone into it.
Then I replaced the flip lids on the cooker with lighter weight material that would let the popped corn out easier. After much trial and error, I finally got the popper so it worked with two ounces of corn. Much more and it still failed miserably.
Even in the best cases, the popped corn in the cooker pushed out half of the un-popped kernels. A bad design all around and obviously never tested. I recommend avoiding this and any related product. Personally, I'm also putting Discount Tommy on my "avoid-at-all-cost" list for endorsing and selling this.
