That the machine is noisy, I can confirm - but do not bother me. It even has advantages: In a home theater the evening you can, for example, rely on the other to stop the movie while the popcorn is made. So you will not miss anything.
With unaufgepopptem popcorn I had initially also problems when the popcorn makers, however, forward a little to jerk (just underneath push a plate) is happening amazing: The aufgepoppte Popcorn remains slightly longer in the container and forms a sort of protective cover, which prevents the unaufgepoppte popcorn because of to fly the machine. Works 1a and is highly recommended for imitation!
Very annoyed, I me that the butter cup is not dishwasher safe. (What if not for butterverklebte plastic parts it has a dishwasher please ?!) My butter dish is in any case cracked in the dishwasher - and replacement parts are not offered by the manufacturer. I melt butter now with the ladle on the top opening. That's the same, but is of course more complicated because you have to keep the ladle.
I confess that I got the device very cheap - for the performance is perfectly adequate.
