Title: Good Popcorn, Questionable Lifespan
Product review: I've had this 4-oz version for about a year. I use the pre-portioned packs and it does make great popcorn ... the question I have is for how long.I am just finishing up my second case of popcorn (48 total portions) and both levers inside the unit broke off within a week of each other. These breaks are not caused by hard use, but due to the heat causing the plastic to become brittle and crumble. I now must use a hot pad from the kitchen to keep from burning myself in a very tight space. In figuring the amount of popcorn I've popped, I consider mine still a new appliance. Replacing the two knobs (if available) would likely last for two more cases of popcorn.When it's brand new, it has that classic look, and makes great popcorn. Once used for a while it begins aging quickly.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
