" ... I bought this because my stir crazy popper broke (after a lot of use) and I wanted something easier to store. ... "
" ... It's a very soft flexible bowl and cover which collapses easily for storage. ... "
" ... I saw this popper and thought how can it work, it is silicone. ... "
" ... I've gone though 3 or 4 of the hard plastic microwave popcorn makers - they last a year or so, but sooner or later, the heat seems to get to them (especially the lid). ... "
" ... Also easy to handwash which my previous, hard plastic microwave popper was not. ... "
" ... Trying to understand why this Colonel Popper is so perfect when it appears to be the same basic design as the "hard plastic" ones that are now on their way out and I believe that it must be the way the lid fits down on the corn and rises at it pops. ... "
" ... I was surprised that it's a floppy sort of rubbery thing, but it holds its shape and works fine. ... "
" ... Wow, I was surprised, made great popcorn w/o any plastic after taste that you get in some of the plastic containers. ... "

" ... I was skeptical that this could compete. ... "
" ... It was less than 1/2 the cost of the old popper's replacement cost. ... This is such a great product and good value (it will pay for itself over time based on being able to by regular kernels vs. microwave popcorn) that my daughter is going to put one just like it on her wedding registry. ...
