After unpacking and reading the directions I tried my first batch. I should have had a vacuum cleaner handy for the resultant mess. Among the many crimes committed by this wretched device:
Bulky, over-sized design
Nostalgic wheels prevent bowl from getting underneath chute properly
Only half the kernels managed to pop. The rest would spray out randomly, often missing the bowl.
The company that released this travesty focused so much on the nostalgic appearance that they forgot one thing: Popping popcorn!
I reread the directions and tried popping two more batches, just to be sure. Same pathetic result. Needless to say, I promptly returned this piece of junk.

After only 3 uses, the heating unit failed. What a piece of crap! Do not waste your money.

I got this as a gift. I'm something of a popcorn addict and I didn't have an air popper, so I was very excited about it. However, I've experienced the same problems as many other reviewers, with lots of unpopped kernels flying out of the machine and only a small portion actually popping.
I've discovered that doing what the instructions say not to do (overfilling the measuring cup a little bit) helps somewhat. I also rig a cloth napkin or dishtowel around the spout and over the top of the bowl to limit the mess. Usually about half the kernels fly out before they've popped, and a few will pop once they're in the bowl, causing any popcorn around it to fly, so it does make quite a mess without the napkin helping keep things in. One batch ends up being about half, maybe 2/3 of what you'd get from a bag of microwave popcorn. I'll buy kernels in bulk whenever possible, to get a better price since so much doesn't pop in a single batch and it's not really good after trying to pop any more than 3 times.
On the plus side, it's much faster than other air poppers I've had and doesn't need any time to warm up. The popcorn seems to stay hotter longer. And even though there's quite a bit of unpopped corn, it all winds up in the bowl instead of the bottom of the popper. I usually transfer the popped corn into a smaller bowl to save the unpopped corn for a second or third try. It is on the larger side, but I've found the shape makes it easier to store than many others. And it is really cute.

I mistakenly purchased one of these at a local store before reading the reviews. I agree with everyone else, it throws unpopped kernels around and does a poor job of popping a useable quantity of corn.

I think this is a great popper. It makes fluffy popcorn in minutes. It is also cute and looks great on the counter. It also doesn't send kernels flying everywhere like in most reviews. I put butter and salt on top and it tastes good. This is a good popper.
