The West Bend Poppery II Hot Air Popcorn Popper. I bought it in 1988 and from day one it has consistently popped corn without fail. It has never burned the kernels, pops corn in under five minutes, always comes out fluffy, and no oil is needed. Some kernels do eject into the bowl and then pop afterward which launches popcorn in all directions, but I have grown to love that, trying to corral popcorn into the bowl by circling my arms around it. If you choose to add butter disregard using the small dish that’s inserted in the plastic top cover. The corn pops quicker than the butter can melt.
