Product Description:

There's more to going to the movies than seeing the movie itself - it's the popcorn! Now, with the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker, you can make fluffy, delicious popcorn just like you get at the theater. The stay-cool hardwood handle turns the stainless steel paddle inside, preventing scorching and burning, and making certain every kernel pops up like it should. The steam vents on top allow moisture to escape so the popcorn is always light and tender. Much quicker than microwaving, the popper makes up to 6 quarts and comes with a 25 year warranty. Also included with the popper is 1 popcorn packets (each one making up to 6 quarts) and "secret ingredient" flavoring packets that give the popcorn that movie-popcorn taste. The popper also comes with a recipe book for more popcorn flavor ideas.Pan is made of aluminum and the lid is made of stainless steel and aluminum.

Amazon.com Review:

Face it, sometimes the best thing about going out to a movie is the popcorn, those big plump kernels that always seem so much better than what you pop at home. But this simple stovetop popper changes all that. It really does make awesome, fresh-popped corn that might make you start renting videos instead. The sturdy aluminum pan has a clip-on lid with a stay-cool wooden handle. A turn crank on the handle spins the key element: the stainless steel stirring system that keeps the corn moving across the bottom of the pan, for even heat and oil distribution, ensuring the best popping results. The lid has steam vents, to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp. The enclosed booklet is a wonderful resource, with not only clear and detailed instructions, but also dozens of recipes and popcorn history and lore. These are folks who really do know their popcorn, and the results are outstanding. --Cynthia Nims

Better than the movies
I bought one of these at a yard sale and fell in love with it. Every single kernal of corn pops and there is no burning. It takes only a few minutes and nothing pops out of the top. I bought my father in law one as he is a big popcorn eater as well. He loves it. We both use it 3-4 days a week. Yes, it is that great. Better than the movies and cheaper.

WONDERFUL- my knew kitchen obsession
The Whirlypop is excellent. It makes wonderful popcorn and it's FUN! I must say I've been obsessed with popcorn since I've gotten it. I agree with other reviews, however. It's necessary to read the directions to know the proper way to operate this unit to get the best results. Don't crank too hard on the crank! The version I got came with a great recipe booklet with some delicious popcorn ideas. Way better than microwave popcorn. Enjoy it...

Almost Excellent
I love this machine. It makes great popcorn (I use Redenbacher - and a few tablespoons of olive oil). The trick, I learned, was to stop turning the crank when it begins to get "stuck" and then remove from the heat when the popping slows down. Clean up is easy if you just wipe the pot and blades with a paper towel. If you haven't left it on heat too long there's nothing more to clean. After about a year one of the plastic gears broke. Since I had registered it, the company very graciously sent me a whole new lid assembly. I can't imagine how some people managed to melt the only plastic pieces (two gears of the crank assembly) unless they way overheated the pan.
I recommend this highly!

Good cheap over the burner popper
While this is by no means a high end product it's certainly worth the $. The lid is a bit flimsy and almost sharp due the how thin it is. Very simple and basic. We use almost weekly and it's held up well. If you attempt to wash this after each use I don't think it will not last as long.

Pros & Cons
The Whirlypop had a generic predicessor in my house and when microwave popcorn came out, I threw it away. Dumb me! I got my Whirly pop from Williams Sonoma only a year and a half ago. I LOVE the popcorn, drizzle melted butter and sprinkle a little salt-----there is NOTHING like it!!! HOWEVER.....the plastic gear cracked last week and I had to shake the pan and tried to move the arm back and forth. It worked fine until I put popcorn in the pan. Finally, the whole gear came apart and it is no good anymore. HOWEVER, I will order another. Microwave??? NO way!!! Maybe I can find my predicessor in an antique store somewhere. It never wore out.
