The Original Popco Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper with Handles, Silicone Popcorn Maker, Collapsible Bowl and Dishwasher Safe - 15 Colors Available (Dark Orchid)

After reading the reviews, I got this, wanting to love it. I was always a champ at getting minimal kernels in the store bought bags, so I after all the reviews about people popping EVERY SINGLE KERNEL I was a bit disappointed when lots of the kernels weren't popping and I was getting only 3/4 of the bowl full time after time. But that wasn't the deal breaker for me. I was still loving my natural popcorn.Then one day everything burnt and the blue and clear lid turned brown. The scent was awful and I couldn't take it out despite multiple rounds in the washer and baking soda.... I contacted the company and they offered to exchange it or a refund. After they realized they couldn't ship a replacement out of the US, I took the refund. The customer service was exceptional. Had I been able to get a replacement, I would have and I'm sure I'd still be enjoying this, even with with the unpopped kernels.If you are thinking of getting a foldable microwave popper - I'd get this one. If it doesn't work for you, at least I can say the company's service is wonderful. :)

I put 1/4 cup of popcorn seeds into the bowl, placed lid on and put into microwave for 3 1/2 minutes. When 3 to 4 seconds were between pops I ended the cycle, removed bowl with pot holders and dumped into my preferred corn eating stainless steel bowl to add melted butter and salt. Because I didn’t add butter or oil to the seeds in the popper I only had to rinse the popper bowl and lid to clean it. The poppped corn smelled great and was not dry and tasteless. This microwave popcorn popper bowl is fast and easy to use unlike popping kernels in a pan on a burner. The amount of unpopped kernels was low, 7 the first time and 11 the next. I also like that the popper bowl collapses for storage.

I have a 1000 watt microwave and this Popco popcorn popper works very well in about 2 minutes with two tablespoons of Bob's Red Mill popcorn seeds. If you have a turntable in your microwave, be sure to place this on the outside as instructed in the directions. This will help keep any kernels from being burned. I have been using this for a few months and really enjoy the afternoon popcorn made so easily. This folds up so it stores in a tight spot and it cleans very easily. I hand wash it.Sprinkle some salt on the popcorn and a little bit of nutritional yeast and you have a tasty snack and only a couple minutes.

I bought this hoping it would work and it makes perfect pipcorn every time. I have purchased several types of popcorn poppers and they all left a crazy amount of unpopped kernals and it was such a waste. This popcorn popper is hands down the BEST. For my microwave, it takes 2min 20 seconds and it makes perfect popcorn every time.Only dislike was the strong plastic smell when it first arrived. I washed it with hot soapy water twice and that helped. I’ve had it for over a month. It does not smell anymore.

This thing behaves exactly as advertised. Easy to clean, easy to store (collapsible), and super easy to use. Just put some popcorn in it, gently place the lid on it, and let it rip in the microwave. Any initial concerns I had about it smelling like plastic/rubber went away after the first wash. Works great! Oh, and pro tip: If there are any unpopped kernels, just stick it back in for a couple of minutes when you eat the popped ones and viola, more popcorn.

Had to try this as soon as it came. After some adjustments, it popped every kernel. The suggestion was to use the popcorn setting on microwave, but that didn't work, at least in my microwave. I removed the popped corn, put the remaining kernels back in the microwave and the they popped great. Threw another batch in and didn't use popcorn setting. It took about 3 1/2 minutes and the popcorn was very good. We used Orville Redenbacher popcorn and no oil. And...no cleanup afterwards. Great for my WW program.

So it is not very rigid and mine would not stand up the first time I used it. After a few more times and a we had washes it stands up. Used with and without oil. Much easy way of popping kernels. Not as messy. Love it. Wish I had it years ago. Tempted to buy another so I can easily do back to back popping. We will see how long it lasts, but for the price it is well worth it!!!

It's all good. My choice of how much popcorn to pop, any kernels that don't initially pop, pop the second time around, easy clean, and it collapses so there is not much storage room. Holding it by the handles, it is not too hot to handle. (I use the popcorn setting on the microwave- so don't know it that is full power or not- you may need to experiment a bit with your particular microwave but you'll quickly figure it out. I use a tsp or two of popcorn oil in the initial batch. )

Haven't added butter straight to the bowl because I had read someone say it had caused problems. Luckily my child loves his popcorn with just a little salt so this is perfect. Really does a great job of cooking popcorn, cleans easy and once dry can be folded for easy storage, way easier to store than the electric popcorn maker I was thinking of getting!

I really enjoy my popcorn popper so far. I wanted to replace my chip addiction with something healthier and cheaper so I decided to eat popcorn when the cravings hit. But taking out a sauce pan and turning on the stove all the time is such a hassle. Then I searched and found this small gadget.It’s amazing how almost each of corns pop. They are really puffy and crunchy. I don’t put oil so there is minimal cleaning as well. Add a bit of salt and you are good to go. Just make sure folloe the instructions on the leaflet so you don’t put more than what’s recommended otherwise they won’t pop fully.I bought high quality organic kernels and I only had 2-3 unpopped one in each batch.Still it comes much more cheaper than a bag of high quality chips.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fuss free healthy snack.

Easy to clean and works well. No complaints.

I read many, many reviews from this brand and others. This brand had like 15k reviews that were all positive so I went with it! I have to say this is one of those products that seems to live up to the solid reviews. I was popping popcorn the old fashion way on the stove with my popcorn pan and different oils. With this silcon bowl my 10 yr old son can make popcorn whenever he wants with no worries about a gas stove, hot oil, or messy clean up. Tip from reviews: Don't position the bowl directly in the center of the microwave. Our 1000w microwave pops nearly every kernel with about 3:40.. Love it! Definitely worth the money, and the way it collapses down is an extra bonus! JD

Followed advise to pop at 3:40s on high at the side but resulted in 1/4 burned popcorn. Suggest to not fill too full to second line and keep to 3min on high. Most popcorn will be nice and airy dry with a few burned ones and unpopped. Overall satisfied!
