Title: Good for standard yellow popcorn--not other varieties
Product review: I've had this popcorn popper for years--I would estimate 10 years. If you're only planning to use it for standard yellow kernels, it does a good job.If you try popping any other variety of popcorn, a few things could happen. Either the popper won't force the popped kernels out quickly enough, and the popcorn will burn inside the unit.Or the kernels will be too light and get ejected from the popper before they've had time to heat properly.I've never had luck with any other popcorn other than standard yellow kernels with this popper.If you plan to melt butter using the removable butter melter at the top, make sure that the butter has thawed for a couple of hours first. Otherwise, it's not going to melt while the popcorn is popping. Cutting it up into smaller chunks also helps.Also, the "18 cups" referred to in the description is 18 cups, popped. The unit warns you not to use more than 1/2 cup of unpopped kernels at a time.
