Waring did a great job designing a popcorn maker that produces professional quality popcorn in an affordable model.
Pros--simple to use
--straight forward directions
--fun to watch
Cons--Not as easy to clean as microwave popcorn :-)
You can't go wrong with this product.

I scoped out the counter space before purchasing. I even went to an expensive department store and looked at the product b4 ordering online. It is great. My husband loves it (of course he had plenty of experience at our block party with a professional one - bonus being he got paid in popcorn, a 50lb bag of kernels which is why we bought the machine). He has his technique down pat. He does fill the whole tray within 8 minutes. Peanut oil gives it a cleaner taste. Canola oil gives it a classic flavor. Put some melted butter and a little sea salt in a squeeze bottle and you are good to go. I keep it right on the counter. It helps that my kitchen is red. Love it!
Great little popper! January 5, 2010

This popper has met and exceeded my expectations so far. It was a Christmas gift and I was a little concerned after reading some of the previous reviews. However, I don't have any complaints. The plastic casing and door is plenty sturdy, the door hangs well and stays shut with the magnet. It is a bit large to place in a cabinet, so I would recommend planning to have it as part of your kitchen decor -- just leave it on the counter. As other consumers have reported, it doesn't make a lot of popcorn at once, but it cooks so fast that you can have the tray completely full in 5-8 minutes, including the warm up time (which is 2 minutes, not 5 as someone else posted). As soon as you dump one batch, pour in the oil and popcorn for the next, and two minutes later you are ready to go again. As advertised there are very few unpopped popcorn kernels in each kettle full.
The housing is sturdy, although plastic, and makes an attractive countertop piece. Waring even thought to include a light which is nice. Overall the construction is tight and it seems to be well made. I have to disagree with a poster who said that you should get tempered glass for this price. I think for this price this is a very well made machine. It is relatively quiet when running, but not silent. You won't forget that the machine is popping, but it won't wake up the sleeping baby either.
Clean-up is pretty easy. The kettle lifts right off the hanging hooks. Squirt a little diswashing liquid inside and rinse out with the sprayer to your sink. You should not submerge the kettle as it has electrical components. The housing wipes out easily with a sponge. Clean-up takes less time than popping a single batch.
One word of warning: don't leave the popper and go off to another room. The popcorn pops very quickly and not all of it ejects from the kettle. Any left in the kettle can burn, so you need to dump the kettle manually as soon as the popping sounds stop. Just like with microwave popcorn -- it will burn quickly once the popping stops.
My only complaint is that it seems the most commonly available "all-in-one" packs of popcorn are designed for larger capacity poppers. 6 0z works out fine if I want to make mutliple batches, but since those bags aren't resealable, it could be an issue if I only want to make a single serving. I would recommend shopping online for the smaller 2.5oz size if you tend to make popcorn for just one person at a time. It would have been nice if Waring had included a sample size of all-in-one popcorn in the box. Hubby didn't think to buy any when he bought the popcorn maker, so we weren't able to use it on Christmas day. Also, the all-in-one pouches aren't available at the grocery store, so we had to make the 30 mile trip back to the kitchen store to get the right kind of popcorn. Yes, you can use just plain old Orville Redkenbacher and vegetable oil, but that sort of defeats the purpose of having a theater style popcorn maker. You want to get the butter flavored oil (which is what comes in the all-in-one packs)so that it taste like the popcorn at the movies.
For at home movie night use or small party, this is an EXCELLENT popper!
Get this.. It's great!!! January 13, 2010

Waring busted this idea out of the kettle!!!
Some people may think plastic walls are cheap, but hey, it still works!!
This machine works well.
If you like popcorn, just like the movies, get this thing, it won't dissapoint!!
The old-Fasioned switch is fancy... just like the old times!
-Tip. Dont grab any fresh unpoped popcorn. You may burn yourself.
-Tip. Move the tray to the corner right of the machine. The machine usually pops the popcorn on the other side of the machine.
Telling the time:
Open the Kettle lid, but make sure that there is no popping. But if you peer in, You may see that the popcorn seeds are dry. If they are, they're ready to pop away. If you see the oil still, that means that your popcorn will pop soon.
Allways keep the plastic door closed. You don't want anything to spill.
This machine is good for 2-5 people.
Thanks!

I gave this corn popper as a gift to my son. He liked it immediately. Course, he had picked it out himself. The popcorn was quite tasty, smelled like the movie theater, pleasing color, and fun to make. Did not take up too much room on the counter, easy to use and easy to clean. I'd say it was a hit!
