Popsmith Starter Bundle in Cream - 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Machine with 10 Movie Theater Buttery Popcorn Kits - Stainless Steel Popcorn Maker Compatible with All Stovetops

The item finally came in after being lost in the shipping system for a while. It feels solid and well made, easy to use, and no issues with the painted finish so far. It definitely feels like an heirloom item, an investment instead of a purchase with a countdown to replacement. We've popped a few batches now and it just works every time. Nearly every kernel popped and tastes great. Easy to disassemble and clean.

This is a stunningly beautiful and well-made product that does exactly what it promises. It allows you to easily make top quality popcorn from home. I'm a huge popcorn nut and I've never seen anything else like this on the market. I've already made several batches with my family and we've devoured with delight. It's been fun to let my kids help and best of all, it's an opportunity to connect and do something fun as a family with a delicious outcome. Their popcorn kits make it super easy (the kettle corn in particular is delicious), but you can just make any popcorn you buy at the store work with it too. I'm already thinking of creative possibilities for add-ins and other seasonings. It's easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and works on my induction range. It's not too heavy, but clearly sturdy and high quality. It's so beautiful I've let it sit out on my counter to dress up my kitchen a little. :)

This is my second one, I had a mishap with the first that was completly my fault. The pot is made well, easy to clear, I don't know that it is worth what they sell it for normally. I found it for about $100 less on Amazon, just depends which color you choose. What I think (I don't know) it might make better popcorn if there were another vent spot on the other side. It makes the popcorn perfectly but something about the popped corn seems off. I have tried theirs and to others. I thought the less expensive poppers did a better job but they are a pain to clean. Still working on perfecting the process, would like to hear feedback from others.

I'm a total popcorn nerd and was super skeptical about the price of this popper. However, it is better than I expected. Very solid and heats exceptionally even. The stir mechanism is very smooth, and the fit and finish of the lid is great. This is reliable and the best in the market of stirred pan poppers. The looks, finish and performance is better than any of the cheap competitors. Is it worth the price...no...will I probably buy another one as a special gift, yes. Is it better than a regular pot to pop corn in, yes. Easy clean up too. Highly recommend if you can fit it into the budget...

I bought this Popsmith Popcorn Popper in Mint, paying a premium price for what looked like a quality product built like a tank. I thought it would last a lifetime and produce great popcorn. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. I tried it today following the manufacturer's directions exactly. The resulting popcorn was like extremely tough cardboard with a vaguely burned taste - completely inedible. There were also lots of unpopped kernels left in the bottom. For the price point of this popper, the results are unacceptable. A simple air popper produces far better popcorn at a fraction of the cost. The build quality may be solid, but that doesn't matter if it can't perform its basic function of making edible popcorn. I'm returning this and replacing it with an air popper. I give it 1 star, and if I could give less, I would. Save your money and buy a basic air popper instead - you'll get much better results.

The first Popsmith I ordered had chipped coating on the pot and the lid. I exchanged it for another one, hoping that it was a random defect. The second one I received looked better, but still had chipped coating on the lid, this time by the handle. At this pricepoint, and for Popsmith to market themselves as a “luxury” brand, I expect better craftsmanship. The popper works fine, smooth operation and all the kernels popped, but I suspect more chips will appear over time with normal use, as it just doesn’t seem that durable. If there were another dishwasher safe, stainless steel option out there I’d return the Popsmith.

Great stovetop popcorn maker. I bought this for my daughter & her family for Christmas. They love it! It is EXTREMELY pricey, but I did find a sale during the holidays which made it a little more palatable. It popped all the kernels & was pretty easy to clean. It has a nice weight to it so I'm hoping that it will hold up well.

This is a great popper, but there are no directions with the pan and none I can find on the website for how much oil and popcorn to use when you are using your own ingredients. I won’t buy their premade packages because of the artificial flavoring. Avocado oil, organic popcorn and sea salt are all I need for great popcorn. The first batch of popcorn I made turned out wonderfully, but I definitely wasted some kernels. I contacted the company and they got back to me very quickly. The answer is 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 cup of popcorn to make a fairly full panful.

..wenn man es aus Deutschland bestellt, ist es exorbitant teuer mit Einfuhrzöllen etc und man kann Popcorn sicher auch in einem handelsüblichen Topf brauchbar hinbekommen - aber ich muß sagen (und ich habe es jetzt schon einige Monate), ich mag das Teil wirklich gern und benutze es auch regelmäßig. Bisher ist es kein verstaubender Küchengadget Fehlkauf. Das Poporn wird wirklich ein bißchen größer, wegen der gleichmäßigen Röstung. Mein Lieblingszezept ist 2 EL Coconut Oil, 1/2 Tsp Salz und 2-3 EL Zucker und das brennt in dem Topf auch eigentlich nie an durch die Bewegung und das Popcorn ist auch gleichmäßig damit ummantelt mit einer leicht crossen Außenschicht durch den karamelisierten Zucker. Das ist mit einem normalen Topf schwieriger.
