Popcorn Machine Maker

I got the Bravit Popcorn Machine in a timely manner and for a fair price. I got this brand because it came with an on/off switch. As far as performance is concerned, the jury is still out. The few times that I've used it, so far, the kernels that do not pop go all over the place, half the scoop of required kernels do not pop, and I wonder if I can put more than one scoop of kernals in the heating chamber. I am using Orville R. popcorn and I'll keep experimenting with it and hope it gets better over time. If it doesn't work out, I'll will switch to one of the larger machines that uses oil and makes a lot of popcorn at one time, similar to the movie theatres.

You can only do one batch a a time and must let it cool down or else it will shutdown.

I bought the Bravit Popcorn maker about 3 weeks ago. I've used it twice since received. Both times with the same results. Less than half of the kernels pop. I ended up scooping out the un-pop kernels and put them back in the popper. But I have to wait several minutes for the popper to cool down before I'm able to pop again. That's another thing, the popper gets very hot. Thankfully it shuts itself off so I guess that's one positive note. If I had the packaging still, I would have returned this popper.

I love it. Just dont like how it turns off in the middle of popping and then starts back up..but overall nice product.

Would have rated this product as 5 stars for the exception that the first unit sent was defective. However, the customer support was excellent and I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for a small air popcorn popper. The replacement works without issue. Happy I purchased this. It is small and doesn't require a lot of space.

Just received today. Makes a quick single serving of popcorn, not ideal for a family of 4. Multiple batches are required. But out of the 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels you are instructed to put in, about 2 tablespoons come out un-popped. And if you know you don't know your math, there are 4 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup. That means 1/2 of the not so cheap organic non-gmo popcorn that we use is wasted. Oh and of course there is the surprise of popcorn that is launched over the bowl and onto the counter or the floor. Thinking I should have bought a brand with more reviews. At the time of purchase there were two 5 star reviews. Evidentially my expectations were too high.

I'd say approximately 33% of the kernels come flying out of the machine unpopped. I simply put them back in and turn the machine back on. The machine doesn't turn off for me so I guess that's good. Using a hot air corn popper is supposed to be quick and easy. It's a hassle so I'm wishing I would have opted for a different machine. Maybe the smaller machines are just that way?

gets so hot that stops working to cool off after one batch. very small capacity. popcorn heats up so fast that it goes flying uncontrollably out of popper
