Specifications Brand Cuisinart Color Red Dimensions - Depth 9.84 in. Dimensions - Height 13.39 in. Dimensions - Width 6.1 in. Model CPM-300PC Popcorn Capacity 15 Cup(s) Wattage 1,500 W Weight 2.19 lb.
I was curious about this and bought. Using for a couple of month, was debating if I should return it but didn't. The only plus is the unique taste from the past. I used to pop on stove for that, and it is easier with this machine. BUT, it triggers my smoke alarm every time, may be prevented with smoke screen. The worst part, it pushes out unpopped kernels out and half of it ends up not popping. I mitigated that problem by placing a metal smoke screen between the cap and the housing and remove it once popped kernels start accumulating. Plus, it is impossible to clean the housing because nothing comes off besides the cap. Tried their butter recipe ones, and it is covered with butter ever since. On top, the metal housing either started corroding at the bottom or covered in carbon. Looks like should have returned it but it still lingers in my kitchen. We only exchange regretful glances every time I enter my kitchen but it won't magically go to landfill by itself, where it should go.
If you have a stovetop, a tiny bit of patience, and care about good tasting popcorn, do you yourself a favor and check out the Whirley Pop.

Majority say very high % unpopped because air does not swirl, vertical cylinder too short, heat too weak, fan too strong. Chute looks very wide to prevent clogging, but maybe with its short body, a typical bowl would not fit and catch output before amount rose to block chute

I have this. After a while they get stuck so you have to poke the popped kernels out with a small wooden spoon. Makes good popcorn once it is unclogged.

Agree, been using mine for years, best option I have found and I have tried many!
