DASH Fresh Pop Popcorn Maker - Oil-Free, Air Popcorn Popper - With Measuring Cup & Recipe Guide - Perfect for Movie Nights - 16 Cups, Aqua

This is a very good popcorn maker. Follow the directions better than I did the first time. I didn't want that many kernels so I didn't put enough in for my first trial run. The popcorn did not pop in it kept throwing out the kernels. Then I followed the directions. I suppose I'm supposed to do that LOL. I filled it up properly and it worked perfectly. The only thing I can say that is not that great about it is that it is super loud. But I don't know if all popcorn makers are loud. Otherwise it was a very very good buy.

I gave this 5 stars because it does what it advertises, it is quick, one heaping measuring cup fills a 5-quart mixing bowl with popcorn, it is easy to fill, clean up takes about 5 seconds, its compact, and the price is right. Some comments. Be careful because it is quite hot after use, as warned in the instructions. I mention this, because one does not expect a thin plastic item to be that hot. When all the corn is popped, I turn off the button and go about adding butter and some salt to the popcorn then sit and enjoy it. Later I come back for my 5 second clean up. It is inefficient to melt the butter in the measuring cup, I use a paper bowl in the micro, easy and no clean up. I have been on a low carb diet for a year, and this is my go-to snack. Use it about every two days. It does shoot some popped and unpopped corn around the countertop, but I don’t find it to be bothersome. There is only one item that slightly bothers me, and that is the two plastic clips that attach the plastic top to the base. They seem to be somewhat fragile. And therefore, I am careful when I attach the top to the base.

I purchased this popcorn maker on a whim and I have now used it multiple times. It is really easy to use and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. You just add the kernels, turn it on and it pops quickly (2-3 minutes) with very few unpopped ones. I like that it doesn’t use oil in the machine as it doesn’t require a bunch of clean up. It’s also small enough to leave out or store without taking up much space. The only downside is the butter tray doesn’t actually melt the butter very well — it mostly just softens it, so I still melt butter separately. That part is a bit disappointing as the butter melting ability was one of the draws I had to this machine. Other than that, it’s been reliable and great for quick popcorn at home. Side note, I highly recommend using butter flavored coconut oil as a butter alternative as well. It tastes great and helps give that movie theater butter taste. Just don’t forget to add a little salt too. Yum!

This popcorn maker is a good deal. It works well and delivers freshly popped corn without any oil. And since I’m trying to stay away from unhealthy snacks, that’s important to me. It’s really easy to use, too. Just measure the kernels in the cup, pour them into the machine and turn it on. In a few minutes, you have popcorn! Cleanup is a breeze, too.

We replaced our old hot air popper with this one and are very impressed that it pops the popcorn bigger, with very few unpopped kernels. It's lightweight and compact, so it stores easily. We got the aqua one - very pretty. Two small downsides: 1) You have to pour the popcorn in before you put the top on. (You use the cup to measure out the right amount.) And it's hard to get all the popcorn in without spilling some, even with the top off. 2) The top is a little tricky to line up and snap on. All in all, though, this is a great popcorn popper for a very reasonable price! Highly recommended.

we were given one as a gift 8 years ago. It broke after being used at least 2x a week. My kids were so upset I had to immediately buy a new one and choose to get the same one. It works so well.

Nice size and color. Fits on the counter. A loud machine; wasnt expecting that. The popcorn shoots out the popper. I had to place a dish towel over the end of the popper and the bowl. The butter didn't melt enough to pour over the popcorn. Had to melt it in the microwave. You get what you paid for.

Used this machine for 3 years, daily. My son likes air popped popcorn and eats it daily. It just stopped working today, however it's stopped working was catching on fire. Luckily we were right next to it and took it outside immediately and there was no danger to my family or my home. It worked fantastic for 3 years!

This is very cool, it make the popcorns ready in 2 mins. Good thing no Oil needed just hot air. Smells great when the popcorns are ready.

Burning motor smell when turned on, tried several times so not a “new product smell”.

اشتريت هذه الماكينة وشحنتها إلى السعودية. للأسف من أول استخدام الجهاز اشتعل بالنار! أطفأته وانتظرت فترة ليبرد ثم حاولت تشغيله مرة أخرى وكانت النتيجة نفسها — اشتعال مباشر. المنتج غير آمن وخطير جدًا للاستخدام. لا أنصح بشرائه نهائيًا. للأسف اكتشفت المشكلة بعد انتهاء فترة الاسترجاع.

It's been working really well since we got it but I specifically got this dash one because it has the on button on the side of it. All the other ones I've seen, and the one I grew up with, turns on the moment you plug it in and I've always hated things that do that. It's such a nice, small thing, that makes a big difference to me. Definitely worth the price. Takes up way less space than the big round ones where you're supposed to use the lids as the bowl. And let me tell you, those SUCK. I used to have one of those like 10 years ago and the lid as the bowl was so awful because they have little holes at the top of the lid, which becomes the bottom of the bowl lol the little cover they give you doesn't stay on. If you want to save money, choose an upright one without the on button if you don't care about that.

Pueden escuchar mi emoción al usarla por primera vez 😂😂😂 Funcionó perfectamente, PUse un poco menos de la mitad de la taza. Varios granos salieron hacia el tazón, muy calientes, claro. Sólo los aventé de vuelta.
