First of all, the positive on this unit: It achieved quickly and with less roast effect good pop results. While current consumption and noise are high but well within the usual range. Really annoying I find only that the bursting during the pop process grains ejected almost half of the filled whereby raw maize ungepoppt again. Sometimes this happens even, that a hot Corn popt only in the bowl, while the finished popcorn is ejected. The escaping whereby raw maize is of course very hot and should not be touched.
