I saw the 6qt version of this popper in a store a while ago and decided not to buy due to the smaller size of the bowl. Suddenly I saw the 8qt version of the popper and started giving it some real thought. I now have the machine and after a few weeks of ...

I've tried every method of popcorn popping, and so far I'm liking this the best. It's quick, fun for kids to watch, easy to use, you can make as much or as little as you want, and the popcorn is good! I love that I can walk away from it and not worry ...

Pros: Taste; Reliable
Cons: N/A

My mother has used the same West Bend Popcorn Maker for as long as I can remember. When it came time for me to buy my own popcorn maker, I tried everything out there. The popcorn never tasted that great and it seemed the machines broke easily or didn't work that well. I could never recreate my mother's best tasting popcorn I remembered while growing up. My mother suggested I buy the West Bend Popcorn Maker that she loved so much. I bought it several years ago and it still works perfectly, just like Mom's! My husband never enjoyed popcorn that much before, but now my family always begs me to make popcorn with our Stir Crazy for our family movie night. Now I'm making memories with my kids, just like my mom did for me.

Pros: The popper makes fantastic popcorn every time.
Cons: NONE

This popper is fantastic and makes enough for the whole family. Almost every kernel is popped every time regardless of the quality of the popcorn. They make a smaller version that would be great for a family of two. Puts microwave popcorn to shame and much healthier and lower in calories and fat.
