HOUSNAT Electric Popcorn Maker, 1200W Popcorn Machine with Hot Air Circulation, 2 Min Qucik Popping, for Oil-Free & Fat Free and Healthy Snacks, for kids, Movie Nights, Parties, Home, Retro Red

Bought for my son as a gift he loves watching the whole process. It makes a lot of noise but heats up quickly and makes the popcorn really quick. Make sure to place a bowl in front before turning it on because like I’ve said it’s a quick process and it shoots out fast.

Pros:• Compact: doesn't take a lot of room.• Fast: a batch takes a couple of minutes.• Healthy: uses no oil, only hot air.• Easy to use: drop kernels in, turn on, catch the corn as it flies out, turn off.• Easy to clean: the main part takes only (clean, dry) kernels, so needs no maintenance; and the measuring cup needs cleaning only if you use it e.g. to melt butter while popping.Cons:• Lots of unpopped kernels: something like ¼ of the kernels get caught up in the airflow and ejected unpopped.  You can collect them and put them in again next time, so they don't all have to go to waste — but it's a bit awkward (as you need to extract them before adding any toppings).• Force: some of the popped kernels come flying out at great speed — enough to cause ricochets out of whatever you're collecting them in.  A large container is needed (and maybe a safety net!).• Limited capacity: can pop only 40–65g of kernels at a time, after which it needs to cool down.  (The manual has warnings about it overheating otherwise.)  That should be plenty for 1–2 people, but if you regularly need to make more then you might want a higher-capacity machine instead.• Noise: it generates about 90dBA, comparable to boiling a kettle — but it's only for a couple of minutes, so unlikely to be an issue.Observations:• Air-popped popcorn has a slightly different texture from oil-popped (as you might get in a cinema or supermarket): it's marginally softer and lighter.  Whether you prefer it is a matter of personal taste.  (I do!)• If you don't add anything, it's one of the healthiest snacks: lots of fibre, protein, and complex carbs, and low in calories, fat, salt, and sugar.  And it's very pleasant that way, if a little bland.  Obviously, the nutrition will be affected if you do add to it:• You can drizzle melted butter, spray with oil, and/or dust with any salty, sugary, spicy, herby, and/or cheesy powder — but only AFTER the corn has been popped.  (The manual has dire warnings about putting butter, oil, or anything other than clean, dry kernels into the heating chamber.)  You can buy various pre-mixed powders, but it can be fun to try making your own with whatever seasonings you have!

Great little machine to make popcorn. Cheap and great fun. Easy to use, looks good and not too big. Can get hot if you do a few loads of popcorn at once. Quite noisy, but it’s only on for a minute or so. Works well and can’t grumble for the price!

I love popcorn, and my ols one broke and this is the best popcorn. Very decent and useful and shuts off when overheated. Love it! ♡

This machine makes chewie popcorn. You have to finish cooking in the microwave anyway.

But all the popcorn has no crunch.So annoying.It's like perfect looking popcorn, but the taste is just missing.Be wary!

Definitely would recommend. Follow instructions, makea really nice cinema like popcorn. Had it salty with salt and butter and it's delicious! Definitely recommend!!!

This is a fun tool to use. It does the job but gets overheated and shuts down if you do 3 loads continuously. I let it cool down for a minute before reusing and that does the trick.if you have a big family, you d be better off buying a professional machine
