Cuisinart CPM-100 EasyPop Hot Air Popcorn Maker, Red

One of the BEST purchases our family has ever made! We bought this unit almost 6 years ago today, minus a few weeks. We live on a farm and grow a lot of our food, including a LOT of popcorn. It's a favorite evening snack for our family of five. With that said, this popcorn maker has seen a crazy amount of use over the last six years and we have never had a problem with it. It makes excellent popcorn (partially because we grow really good popcorn) and pops it super nice. I would venture to guess that this thing, on average, has been used every day for the last six years - that's a lot!!! There are times when it's used for a solid week, five times a day. So, if this thing ever does fail you can bet we'll be getting another one!!!

Awesome popper with 2 caveats. First, put no more than 1/3 cup kernels in at a time. Doesn't matter the brand. This will produce about 8 cups of great popcorn. Second, the design allows some unpopped kernels to go into the bowl until the popping starts. So, since I don't like unpopped kernels, I tilt the machine back a bit until it starts to pop. This has a crucial feature - an on off switch that the Presto does not have. Since we used to pop a cup at a time, we just go through 3 cycles and that's way quicker than the stove top method. Even using the same amount of butter still makes for a healthier snack. By the way the butter melter inset at the top is useless but the machine redeems itself. We've been making popcorn 3 or 4 days a week for the last few months and no complaints at all except the caveats above.UpdateI've had this a little over a year now. Still works great and have almost eliminated unpopped kernels. Too few kernels and the air blast can fly them right out of the tube and into the bowl. Too many will clog the spout. I was putting a level 1/3 cup and got kernels flying. I started using a not quite full 1/2 cup. Now the weight of the kernels keeps the bottom ones from flying and the bottom ones break up the air current so the top ones stay put. I get a few in the bowl, but very few. I make 3 to 4 batches a week and it works flawlessly. I will also recommend a butter spray made by Winona Pure and available at Amazon. Zero calories, no saturated fats. Canola oil, butter flavor and organic coloring. Quite tasty too.
