This review is from: Nostalgia RHP-625 Hot-Air Retro Popcorn MakerI really like popcorn. I was totally psyched to use this popper, and the fact that it air-popped made me love it more. It's easy to use and easy to clean. However, from the first use the popcorn went flying everywhere! I placed a good-sized bowl underneath the slide/opening shoot and it caught about 3/4 of the popcorn. The second time, I balanced a very tall popcorn bucket underneath the shoot and still, popcorn and unpopped kernels were flying everywhere. There are a lot more unpopped kernels being thrown than actual popcorn, which is a pain to find and clean up and to get hit with. After the money I spent, I won't give it up, but I think this is the most disappointing thing I bought all year. The popcorn that does land in the bowl is good, I think it has a slight staleness to it, but my friends think it tastes especially fresh. Maybe I'm a little bitter by the time I get to eating it. Also, on the second use, the machine just suddenly stopped. I wasn't sure if it overheated or what (the popper gets extremely hot) but it did begin working again.I bought this trying to save money and calories versus the microwave kind. I think I might keep an Orville bag of Natural around just in case....
This review is from: Nostalgia RHP-625 Hot-Air Retro Popcorn MakerThis little popper got my wife all excited . . . and it does look very nice. We enjoyed quite a few batches of popcorn out of it - when you do exactly what you are told, it does what it says it will.Which is the problem. It has a teeny weeny capacity . . . a quarter cup of popcorn, if that. The rules are that the measuring cup be not overfilled or underfilled (which a few kernals would do). Which heightens the irritation with the following: When you dump the carefully measured popcorn in through the hole at the top, you simply can't do it without some raw popcorn missing the shoot and bouncing back out.It was impossible to pump two batches through in succession as the heat sensor would kill it after the first, forcing a cool down. So with a large family (I have 11 kids) it can get frustrating.Then . . . my 20 year old was asked to make a batch and, unbeknownst to me, had never used a hot air popper before. She poured something like a cup of kernals in the shoot, ignoring the measuring cup, and promptly burnt up the blower - game over. Went out and bought an ugly popper off the shelf - 1/2 cup capacity, multiple batches in rapid succession, hardly a kernal unpopped.Having said all of that . . . I might buy another! My wife likes the way it looks, what can I say :-)SO . . . if you want a pretty little appliance sitting in your kitchen, have a small group to service and are patient, this little popper is great. If not, you will get very frustrated....
