VonShef Popcorn Maker – 1200W Air Popcorn Machine with Hot Air Circulation, One Touch Operation, Movie Night Accessories, Healthy & Oil Free Snack Maker for Kids with 6 Boxes - Black

Great product. Even better with Joe Seph’s Mushroom kernels. No oil required. Just fluffy warm popcorn. Very easy to use. The equipment gets very hot, and blasts the popcorn out, a few landed on the floor. You’ll need bigger boxes than the ones provided. No regrets.

This is a great basic popcorn maker. Very easy to use, and produces the basic goods in approximately 2 minutes. Very pleased for what is my first buy of a machine for this job.I'm seeing some people say that the popcorn is too chewy. Whilst it's true that the popcorn is a little bit chewy, it's not bad at all. It's very different to the oil popped rubbish you get in cinemas and supermarkets, so there isn't as much crunch, but then again there is virtually no fat at all. Whether you like this or not is personal taste. (I do.)Whilst using the scoop to heat a flavouring is useful I can say that it doesn't work so well with coconut oil, if for example you've been reading BBC's recipes about using coconut oil and salt/cinnamon. You're better off heating this mixture in small bowl in your microwave instead. (I've not tried using butter and probably won't be, not to my taste.)There's only 2 things I don't like about this product:1) The noise: It's not a quiet machine, will definitely be louder than your microwave. It's not the popping that's loud, it's the machine's internal motor to cycle the air as fast as it needs it to be.2) Unpopped kernels: Sure we expect some of these, and often enjoy crunching half a dozen of them at the end of the bowl, but if you insert 1 levelled scoop of kernels into the machine the first pop will cause about a dozen unpopped kernels to fly out the shoot. You need to insert less than 1 whole levelled scoop to lower this.That being said I will not be returning/swapping this product over those two points. Overall I'm very satisfied with this machine, enough to munch through two large bowls on a Saturday afternoon without realising how much I've had. Good thing it's fat free. :)NOTE: The official product description/manual says that this comes with 1 bag of popping corn. It does NOT. This isn't a big deal though as you can get a bag for like £1 from your local supermarket, and that one bag will often fill 10ish large bowls. (Look for them by the bags of lentils and dried peas.)

Very good machine makes popcorn in seconds, but I find the popcorn very chewy, so I experimented and found a way to make it crisper. just spray it with 1 spray oil (pam) or pour a teaspoon of olive oil on the popcorn batch before it goes in the machine, obviously don't pour anything directly in the machine! But when the kernels are coated before hand they come out a lot crispier you could also buy some popcorn seasoning and add that to the oiled kernels but I found you cannot put the seasoning directly in or it just gets blown out of the top. All in all very good value for money.Gets very hot as all these machines do so please be careful of the kids touching it after.

VonShef Fat-Free Hot Air Popcorn Maker / Popcorn Machine, Free 2 Year Warranty, FREE 500g Popcorn Kernels + 4 Popcorn Boxes IncludedAs usual, VonShef never disappoints. This popcorn maker machine has been one of the best items I have bought from amazon. The machine works like a charm. It really needs no oil or butter and it makes popcorns in less than 2 minutes. Although it does not necessarily need butter/oil, I have added some butter, salt, and chilli flakes and it tastes delicious. Also the machine is very good looking and the popcorn boxes add a nice touch.The only drawback is that if the kernels are not used soon after the bag was open, the popcorn may be a little chewy and less crunchy, however you can store them in a dry tight container and they will remain fresh and crunchy.I am very happy with the product, the delivery was excellent (the item arrived sooner than was stated), and the item was as described by the seller.

Although it work very fast the popcorn pop everywhere ( one thirds outside the bowl , as well as is pop in still not popped seed kennel which are very very hot , one of these nearly hit my eye. Machine also pop out plenty of unpopped kennels ( 29-30 percent everytime ) .Plus is the popped one are really nice

used very little, and didn't overfill, and it burnt out. Had my previous maker for 18 years, had this one barely 6 months. Would definitely say AVOID.

Bought as gift, recipient loved

Great machine, small capacity but enough for 2 from 1 batch
