" ... Great product and Great Popcorn! ... "
" ... This microwave popcorn popper is perfect for a couple or single. ... It makes less popcorn than my air popper but just right for the times you don't want that much. ... I like to add olive oil and popcorn salt after popping and I do that right in the popper. ... "
" ... Great alternative to bagged popcorn!! ... "
" ... It also does exactly what you buy a popper for, too -- pops great popcorn. ... Very few, if any, kernels left and the popcorn is perfect. ... "
