Last year for christmas my eldest daughter really wanted one of the toy ready, steady, cook popcorn machine that sell at around £30. Being the mean mum that I am, I refused and bought this one instead for 2 main reasons: a) I refuse to pay £30 for a toy one when I can pay £14.50 for a real one (and judging by some of the reviews for the toy one my judgement is right) b) My prima popcorn maker is shaped like a duck - I like ducks! The machine is as previously mentioned shaped like a duck, so naturally stands up on the ducks feet big and red so it doesn't wobble. It separates across the beak to ...  Read the complete review

I got one of these a year or so ago and it was a very thoughtful present. I hate buying shop popcorn that is loaded with sugar, so the fact that I could make my own and add just a little flavour was awesome. It is very simple to use and makes a bagful of popcorn in a couple of minutes. Simple loading it up with kernels purchased cheaply from the supermarket. Once the popping is done, a quick wipe out sees it ready for action next time. It does leave some corn unpopped, which the only negative on this product. I then put my popcorn in a bag, add a pinch of salt, or perhaps some chocolate sprinkles (does that make me weird) and give it a shake. The ...  Read the complete review

Why buy a POPCORN maker when I can stick in in a pan? The answer is simple, you don't use any oil in a popcorn maker, making it a yummy nibbly HEALTHY SNACK. The way it does that my heating up a metal element and then spinning the drum. I do not know the calorie content of dried peice of a cob of corn, heated up to explode, but I don't think its much, not much at all. Compare this to the stuff you get at cinema with added sugar or salt and cooked in oil and left out to go stale. I eat it plain as it is, of course you can add sugar, salt, etc but then it defeats the health factor, the instructions come with a few suggestions of ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago I got this as a birthday present. I was very excited and hoped to get fresh popcorn. Unfortunately not only were the instructions for use hard to understand, it did not work properly and any popcorn that popped actually knocked the lid of. It is also very hard to store and it was hard to find space for it, there were a lot of components. When we did make the popcorn finally it was delicious but frankly not worth it for the amount of effort we had to put in. Instead I recommend not buying a popcorn maker and just making it on the stove, its easier, faster and you are more in control plus its cheaper. Just buy popcorn kernals from your local store, ...  Read the complete review
