This does not make a lot of popcorn. Think of it as single serving. It doesn't even fill one of the small paper popcorn bags, but that's fine. It pops quickly to make mulitple batches.You'll probably need two sets of times for this, the time for when it's just popcorn and the time for when there is butter in the top section. The butter drops as the popcorn pops, which makes it distribure evenly, which is wonderful, but which pulls away some of the heat. In my microwave, it's 2:30 just popcorn and 2:45 for popcorn with butter, to give you an idea. It's not a huge difference, but if I don't give those extra fifteen seconds, a lot of the kernals don't pop.That said, it's really consistent, and once you have your two times, you can just reuse them, no issue. Even if you do two batches back to back, the time is the same.It is critical that the turntable in the microwave actually be turning while you're using this, or the best case is the popcorn just won't pop. The instructions say it can damage that microwave. I lucked out, but ended up with a kettle of hot, unpopped kernals, save for two or three.My only complaint about this is it makes buttered popcorn so quickly, so easily, and so well I'm probably eating more of it than I should.

Pops great, only 5 kernels didn't pop.The smaller quantity the popper pops up is a good thing since my spouse doesn't eat popcorn. The melting butter in the lid was also a plus. My induction stovetop popper was not doing a good job. Our living room and kitchen are red, the assorted colors are are very attractive and you should be able to find one to blend with your decor. The design is creative, useful, and well done; the colorful plastic/silicone protects the glass and is very functional as a handle. Overall, great popper and serving bowl, it also cleans easily in the sink.

Product is perfect size for one hearty serving. Consistently pops all the kernels (assuming you don't overload it). Haven't had a single burnt popped kernel yet. The lid has holes for butter to melt through during popping; however, the butter melts completely before the popping starts, then pools at the bottom to become a dark brown coating on the glass (hence 4 stars rather than 5). Better to melt the butter separately and add it to the popcorn later.Plus, it's just darn cute.
