I was skeptical when buying this cheap. Well I was wrong. After some uses (non-intensive course), it still works. Already it is a good point when you see the number of popcorn machines that look to be junk. It is quite noisy in use, does not contain a lot of popcorn per tour (well enough for 2 people though) and can not be used more than twice in a row without having to let it cool but these details aside, this machine does its job. It should actually provide a large bowl for the popcorn comes out fast enough and it may be that escapes from a small bowl. In addition, all the corn kernels are not broken, it still remains at the bottom of the machine after use. But for the price and the fact of not having to clean the pan after making popcorn, I find it very very well!
