Title: Very happy!
Product review: I bought this for my husband last Christmas and we are definitely pleasantly surprised at how well it has worked out! We use a thin layer of oil (preferably peanut or safflower, but we do use corn occasionally) to a 1/2 cup popcorn. We also sprinkle some butter flavored popcorn salt in with the kernels BEFORE they pop, which makes all the difference. The popcorn is delicious.We have noticed that the gear mechanism is a bit "cheap," as is the knob on the handle, but we've been able to jiggle things back into place and haven't broken anything. For that I'm giving four stars, rather than five, however for what I paid, I can deal with some little kinks.Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to microwave popcorn. Lots of fun for kids to twirl too...just supervise next to the stove!
