Pros & Cons
Pros
This popcorn machine allows you to properly roast the seeds to make nice crunchy popcorn. Works very well - but you do have to take the tray off the unit as soon as the corn has popped otherwise some of the popped corn chars a little.
It is a very light machine and should be handled with care but having said that it will last for years if treated gently. The wee spinner ensures nothing burns. Just as the other reviewers have said, it's brilliant.

However it takes up a lot of space and you need to have somewhere to store it

This is a disadvantage over the air popcorn makers which shoot the popcorn out when they are popped

On balance having never owned an air popcorn maker i would probably go for the air popped one in future due to the smaller size and not having to watch that it doesnt burn but couldnt comment on the difference in taste
