I am an engineer, so I followed directions precisely.
First time I tried it I used butter in the automatic dispenser. The butter melted immediately and starting boiling in the bottom of the container. I can't prove it, but I think the butter slowed the popping process. Nothing popped for almost 2 minutes, then a small flurry, and popping slowed way down. I kept punching the minute button and watched closely. After 7 minutes, the popcorn was still popping slowly and was starting to burn.
Second time I tried it with no butter and no oil. It worked better, but still needed more than 5 minutes to pop a decent percentage of what was put in. It was on the edge of burning that time too. The top was very hot and a little difficult to remove.
If you stopped at the time recommended, then maybe half your corn would be popped. I think this would work better as a stove top unit.
Anyway, not recommended, and a disappointment.

I gave this to my popcorn-loving husband for Christmas last year, and he loves it! We use it several times a week. It gives you the option to use extra seasonings, or just have the plain popcorn without all of the icky oils and extras that are usually in bagged popcorn. It is very easy to use, dishwasher safe, and fun to watch, too!

We wanted something like this to avoid plastic and this looked like the answer. We had previously had the Orville R. Microwave popper which worked very well, but, like I said, plastic. This glass unit worked well enough at first. We usually fill up two large bowls on popcorn night. This unit is small which means making 4 or 5 batches. But it seemed like it took a batch or two for the thing to start popping most of the kernels. Maybe it needed to heat up? But the thing does get VERY hot. And oven mitt is a must. Alas the handle just snapped off one day after having it for several months. I have to believe the extreme heating and cooling cycles had to do with weakening the handle. We're going to try a hot air popper next.

I was so excited to receive this popcorn popper, but it won't fit in my microwave oven... or my daughter's, or my son's, or my churches... In fact, I'm having a hard time finding someone to give it to... it's too tall to fit in standard microwaves! It measures 8" tall, and my microwave is only 7" inside. :( Disappointing.

We got one 6 months ago and have used it at least once per day. We wore off the pretty red label months ago, probably because we put it in the dishwasher every day. You don't even need to wash this thing after every use, just wipe it out with a paper towel and your ready to go again. I saw that another reviewer has had popcorn stick to the inside. I've never had that happen. However, we don't make popcorn without oil. We like to use olive oil (canola oil works too). We use 2 tbsp of oil and 1/3 cup of popcorn then put 1 tbsp of butter in the dripper on top and 4 1/2 minutes in the microwave (your mileage may vary). I do have to use a spoon occasionally to get the popcorn to come out of the opening at the top. But, that is a good thing because the popcorn has filled the popper so full that it gets jammed tight. It is a glass jar so it will break. But, no orange dye or space-age polymers to get stuck in your food (unless you're into that, of course). AND, our kids can make popcorn without using the stove and potentially burning down the house. The handle has an important function, it doesn't get hot. The jar, however, does get hot. If you make another batch without letting the jar cool down you will have to adjust your timing on the microwave... but that makes sense, right?
