Dash Deluxe SmartStore Stirring Popcorn Maker with Storage Lid

This popcorn maker makes excellent tasting popcorn. It is better than microwave popcorn and even better than pan made popcorn. It's extremely easy to use and almost every kernel pops. The butter melting feature is nice, especially if the butter is warmed prior to popping in the microwave or pan. It makes excellent kettle corn just by adding sugar. It stores easily and pops very fast. I highly recommend this popper. it is a very well engineered product at a great price.

But this is a gift for my grandchildren and they love it. They made me popcorn with it and it was the best popcorn it just does such a good job air pop popcorn tends to be tough. This was absolutely delicious.

A cool corn popper. Easy to use and fairly easy to clean. I've seen so many video's where people complain about it not working correctly but it's obvious they don't read the instructions. No oil used, they leave the cap on the dome/bowl while popping. Seriously people read and follow instructions, it's works just fine. My only notes are that the corn is a bit short, I guess do to the storage thing they came up with on the bottom of the unit, but cord should be a foot longer. Also sometimes when I turn on the switch it does not turn on. I have to turn it off then back on to get it to function correctly. Overall a good popcorn popper. Glad I got it for $28 because I wouldn't pay more than that for it.

For years, I've wanted a popper that works as well as the old Stir Crazy poppers from the 70's and 80's. I finally found one and this is it. I've been using it for several months. The quality is good. The corn pops well. It's not too difficult to clean. I put the lid and bowl in the dishwasher. Of course, the base has to be cleaned by hand and not submerged in water.

I did not get paid to make this review. I feel like I need to say this because I have nothing bad to say about this. I had purchased another popcorn maker from somebody else which I know right away already makes me sound like I’m some kind of influencer or something. But I’m not Let me tell you what I personally like about this. The other one that I had looked pretty cool. I like the idea that that thing would spin around and I like that concept so I bought it immediately about a year ago. I’ve used it for a year and the popcorn was good and I was excited to have an automatic popcorn machine. However , the cap that goes on top of the bowl didn’t really ever work very well. It looked like the lid for like a coffee can. So also, I didn’t have a lid. This one was great. It literally popped up the corn. It just looks like it’s more solid. It didn’t less than five minutes. It does OK. I don’t even care it could’ve been 10 minutes. I still would’ve been happy. But for some reason, the popcorn was super fluffy. The thing was strong enough to push the popcorn in circles, even when it was Popped near the top. I did use these bags that you could see in my video. I don’t work for that company either. But I did like how they are automatically sized. I like the oil they use. But I don’t like the powder, so I always put Salt, pepper, garlic, and real butter. But it has the lid lid is substantial and solid and it snaps on. The bottom that is on there is really great. It’s really substantial and snaps on really hard. The only microscopically bad thing is so microscopic. I should even mention it. Is I can’t figure out when I should put the butter on the top to have it start dripping in because it pops so fast which is a benefit problems we want to have. That I don’t know when to put the butter in and if it goes too early, so dripping in the pan and then it slows the popcorn down. At least that’s what it did to the other one. So screw it throw the butter in the microwave melted Throw it in on top after you crunch it out. It is really substantial I really love my popcorn maker thank you whoever invented and created a quality product will always sing the praises of quality products in the marketplace.

We love it. Easy to operate and clean. Everything stacks nicely for storage. We use it a couple times a week, great popper.

I have used this unit twice so far. On the plus side, the popper works effectively, it pops the corn quickly and leaves very few un-popped kernels- much fewer than my old air popper. A few minor issues include the fact that: 1) You must turn it off quickly once the popping slows and flip it over or the popcorn will start to burn. 2) Also, the unit won't heat up enough at the top to get the butter to melt before the popcorn starts to burn, so I melt the butter separately. I was used to doing that anyway with my air popper. 3) There are little crevices that you can miss when cleaning the components. None of those issues were serious enough to stop me from liking this appliance. However, more annoying problems are the fact that: A) When I flip over the cooking bottom from the bowl and remove and replace it with the cover lid, the lid seems warped and will not snap on and stay attached to the top of the bowl, so when I try to shake up the contents, the popcorn comes flying out, even though I try holding both pieces together while shaking. B) Also, the stirring bar is not at all easy to reattach after cleaning. The stirring bar comes off easily enough but the problem seems to be that the knob must also come completely off the center post to find the right spot to put the stirring bar back on; unfortunately, trying to disconnect that knob can be a challenge. The knob holds on tight and will not easily detach when turned counterclockwise without also turning the entire inside motor in reverse, which makes me concerned that it will eventually damage the motor. I am going to try to exchange it for another unit, to see if I just received a defective appliance.

muito legal - funciona igual ao video

It makes great popcorn, and it's easy to clean. It's on the bigger side, so I keep it on top of the fridge.

Muy recomendable, las palomitas quedan deliciosas, a sabor casero, pues se hacen con aceite. La máquina es muy fácil de usar, tanto que los niños pueden usarla, con un poco de supervisión. Estoy muy satisfecha con el producto. ❤️❤️

My husband uses this every single day. He loves the way it pops the corn and melts the butter right over top of the popcorn.

Al principio dudé un poco porque las tiritas empezaron a mover los granos de maíz a los lados pero una vez que empezaron a reventar todo quedó súper bien. Tarda un poquito en comenzar pero las palomitas quedaron muy bien, el bowl es muy útil para servirlas ahí mismo y no ensuciar algo más. Es muy fácil de usar, solo un botón y ya. Tiene la medida para hacer la cantidad de palomitas que desees. Además de todo, me encanta el color
