Don't bother with this
Too much air, not enough heat. Results in half the unpopped kernals landing on the floor

Horrible. Do not recommend
Pops half the kernels in the bowl, then they go flying everywhere. Not sure if mine is defective, but I would not recommend this if its not!!!

Big Mess
It only pops half the kernels. Some of them pop in the bowl, after they've been blown out of the popper and then sends popcorn and hot kernels all over. Very disappointed.

Only used twice so far but it functions as expected. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it seems to want to toss out uncooked kernels with the popped kernels

Great with some attention to details
So simple but I found if I used 1/8 of a cup of popcorn, rather than a full lid as instructed, it was easier to control the un-popped Kernels that were flying into the bowl collecting the popped popcorn. I used Orville R popcorn and everything popped beautifully and quickly. For the kernels that did not pop I just put them back into the popper after I was finished
popping everything and low and behold 98% if the ones that flew out all popped. Easy fix.

I don’t recommend
It throws most of the seeds out before popping them and I find the popcorn it does pop to be oddly tough as though it over cooks it. I want to like it, but it’s really poor quality in my opinion.
Even though I have a large bowl under it, It throws ALOT of seeds and popcorn outside of the bowl which is inconvenient as my 1 year old is usually at my feet trying to eat anything that falls on the floor.
I have had an air-popper before and loved it. I wish I could find the same one I had before. I’m sorry to say, this one is a disaster.

Nostalgia popper
I tried several types of poppers and this was the least frustrating but it spews popped and unpopped kernels everywhere.

The Nostalgia Retro mini popcorn popper is "cute" but ineffective at popping; many, many kernnels flew out of the popper and all around my kitchen counter and floor even though I closely followed the measuring instructions and had a large-size bowl placed under the popping dispenser. If I had not thrown away the origianl box it was packed in, I would have returned this item! Very disappointed

Works well and my kids love this popcorn.
Works really well and pop almost all kernels. I think the key is to make sure you reheat before for 3 minutes as indicated in instructions. I put a large bowl under and I add butter and salt in the bowl as the kernels pop.

Nice. Pops almost all kernels but must experiment with different brands or machine will throw out unpoped kernels. Would buy again.

Really cute & works great
I wanted something fun to make my diet popcorn & this looks fun, and tastes great. Easy to use right out of the box & takes up almost no room at all. Perfect for a small snack, for 1 or 2 people.

Pure junk.
I've been using an air popper for 30 years and it gave finally gave up. This one spits out half of the kernels unpopped and you have to tip it upside down to get the last of the popcorn out. The fan that spins and ejects the kernels is too weak. Pure junk.

Poor Popper
I'm a serious popcorn lover who has used a few poppers over the years until they eventually broke down. Very disappointed with this product. Followed instructions exactly, but popcorn & kernels splattered all over the place with only 1/2 of kernels popped. Even tried putting more & less kernels, but got the same results.
