West Bend 6 oz. Black with Improved Butter Melting Stir Crazy Electric Hot Oil Popcorn Popper

This is my 2nd Stir Crazy popper. It has some significant improvements over my older one (which is still in operation after more than 25 years). This one is easier to store (flip the lid and place popper inside of it), easier management of the power cord, and a convenient and necessary on/off switch. This one is AMAZINGLY easy to clean as well. And most importantly, it still makes the best popcorn! Much tastier than microwave corn and you are in charge of your own sodium levels. I have only owned it for a few weeks, and only used it once so far, but love it as much as my older one. The only reason I removed a star was because it leaves a few more unpopped kernels than my older one. But even that is not a detriment, as the older one popped ALL the kernels. This popper leaves the same amount you would expect if you were using an air popper or popping corn on the stove. I love this popper and would buy it again and would recommend it to my family and friends. It makes a lot and pops quickly, so even if you were making multiple batches for a crowd it would be ready in no time.

This popcorn popper is the best I’ve ever had ! So easy to use and clean !

Hands down, nothing beats a Stir Crazy popper. We follow the instructions for the right mix of corn to oil, and it comes out perfectly every time. It is so much healthier and tastier than microwave popcorn. I think each family in our extended family even has one, we love it!!

Easy to use. At least kernels don’t pop out and all over. Takes a little long to start popping though but otherwise works well.

Excellent popcorn maker. Easy to use and clean. Pops 95% of used corn kernels.

Arrived early and well packaged. This does an exceptional job popping all kernels. We use it regularly and it is consistent every time. I would buy this again if needed to.

We’d had a first gen Stir Crazy for years. The dome had cracked, the Bakelite on the plug had cracked, but it had popped a lot of popcorn. The cracked plug was the reason to retire it. This new one is more convenient. The dome/base nesting makes it much easier to store. It pops just as well as the old one. Hopefully, the attached cord turns out to be more reliable, too.

stirs popcorn great. heats as expected. ready in minutes. no burnt kernels

My family had one and I wanted one for myself. It stirs the kernels so most kernels had popped leaving very little left unpopped, which is what I love about it.
