Summary: Great Popcorn, Frustrating Lid Design
Comment: We like everything about this popper except the design of the lid. We were aware of this issue prior to purchase due to previous reviews but liked the idea of a higher quality stainless product after using similar aluminum products in the past. It works fine once you get used to holding the lid closed with the left hand while stirring with the right but is not as convenient to operate as the traditional whirley-popper. Except for the lid, this popper is built better than our previous aluminum whirley-poppers, with metal gears instead of the nylon gears that have been more prone to failure. The bottom of the SS pan hasn't been as prone to the hard-to-remove accumulation of burned oil over time like our aluminum pans were. We think the heat dispersion should be more even on the thicker and heavier SS. We appreciate the durability and performance of the SS pan which we feel results in superior popcorn. We always liked our aluminum whirley-poppers but love this SS popper and feel it is worth the extra cost if you consume as much popcorn as we do.

Summary: The Perfect Popper
Comment: I purchased this popper to get away from the microware pop corn bags and pop corn that is saturated in salt. It has been great and the family loves it. The sweet smell of the corn popping and the flavor is wonderful! I have had no problems with the lid at all. This is a great popper!

Summary: Not what you'd expect
Comment: I thought this would be a great replacement for our aluminum whirly popper that one of my kids liberated when they moved away. Alas, I've been sadly disappointed. The lid absolutely does not stay closed, despite all sorts of adjustment attempts. So one has to learn how to turn the "stirrer" with one hand and hold the handle (plus hold the lid closed) with another hand. Plus, it is slower to heat up and weighs a lot more than my old whirly. Lastly, I've had various of the riveted parts fall off and one of the wood knobs split in two. All of this with fairly light use.
So....I'm going back and ordering the good 'ole aluminum whirley again.

Summary: Buy this Stainless Popper not Aluminum one!!!
Comment: This stove top popcorn popper works great. I used the aluminum for too many years given the harmful effects it can have on your health. This popper pops evenly and kernels taste great. I have had no problems with the cover of it as I have read in other reviews. This is the stove top popper to buy!
