West Bend 82306 Stir Crazy Corn Popper —
I received a West Bend 82306 Stir Crazy Corn Popper as a Christmas gift 5 years ago. I still use it about 3 times per week! It works just as good as it did when I first used it. It is simple and easy to use. It still amazes me that it pops every piece of popcorn I put on the iron. My family begs for popcorn all the time! The minute they hear me popping popcorn they come running. I even taught my young teen how to use it supervised. You would think the plastic bowl would wear out after 5 years of heating and using but it is still perfect! I love that the popping arm does all the work. No more burning microwave popcorn and no more standing at the stove shaking a pot. Also, you can make as much popcorn as you want. So if you need a big batch then make one and if you need a smaller batch--then use less popcorn. This is really awesome becuase it limits the waste--no longer are you throwing out popcorn that you didn't need. I highly recommend this product. Take caution though--if you are not careful when you flip your popcorn into the bowl--you could burn yourself. I do wish the handles were longer because I can be careless. However, very easy to use and I can't see myself using any other popcorn maker. One day if mine ever wears out--I will go straight to the store and purchase another one!
