Q: Since we have an induction stove, do you have to move this popper back and forth on the glass surface, which would not be good.
submitted by Harvey P - 3 years ago
A: Hi, no you do not have to move the pan around on the stove. The popper has a crank that you will turn that moves the stirring mechanism in the bottom of the pan. This stirs your corn and keeps it from burning. Thanks, Customer Support

Stainless steel stovetop popcorn poppers with metal gears are hard to find. Most have cheap plastic gears that break easily. I want a lasting product, not a throw-away one.

Bought one of these after reading all of thew glowing reviews. Sadly was not my experience. The units are not made well. The instructions are incorrect. After emailing the company about the issues they were not helpful, simply referring me to a video that was no help and then ignoring my follow-up email. The gearing is faulty. The clips have a tendency to slip free of the bucket causing the pot to fall and all of the popcorn to spill out. The last time the popcorn fell across the still hot burner, instantly burning and smoking and ruining my cooktop. What a disaster. It does make good popcorn but at the cost of frustration and wasted product. There are better solutions out there.
Perfect popcorn

This popper only lasted a couple of years! Not easy to clean either. The lid broke off because this popper is made cheaply and pooly designed. I ONLY washed this by hand and never put in the dishwasher. It is a shame because it popped delicious and fluffy popcorn! I do not recommend.

The only thing easier to use is an air popper, but the popped popcorn is far superior ! The how to use instructions were spot on , all kernels were popped with no old maids, didn’t even scorch the pan or burn a kernel either! All in less than 3 to 4 min popping time . Maybe I was lucky? Maybe just that good of a product ! I say just that good of a popper when instructions are followed

This popcorn popper really works. I like that it’s made in the USA. I also like the texture of the popcorn that it makes. I recommend it for anyone who wants to avoid microwaving popcorn. The popcorn stays put inside the pot, which is a plus. Other popcorn poppers fail to keep the popcorn within the appliance.

I’ve been using a whirly pop for ten years. My old one was getting kind of gross so I wanted to buy a new one. LOL THIS ONE IS TOTAL CRAP. I thought I was upgrading.. nope. The lid flew off, popcorn everywhere, hot container, just total crap. My other whirly pop never did this.

Amy B - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
The pot itself is sturdy, but the lid and crank mechanism are very flimsy. (Mine had the metal gears) Upon first use, the gears would skip, bind, or completely disengage from each other when turning the handle. After watching Whirly-pop's troubleshooting video on YouTube, I attempted to adjust the gears according to their instructions. They seem to work while the pot is empty; but, unfortunately, the gears pop back out of place during popping.

Works Great on Glass Convection Stove Top
5 out of 5 stars
review - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
When I moved to a house with convection glass stove top, I could no longer use the cast iron Dutch oven anymore to make popcorn. So I got an air popper, but never really liked that too much, and then it wore out. Didn't want to try that again, since they don't last long/land fill, ERR. This stainless steel popper thing works great; pops quickly 3-4 minutes on my number 10 setting. Any popcorn will work as long as it is fresh, according to instructions. I add my own spices. It took about a week to arrive to my house in Oregon. I think it is worth the price, bc this thing should last forever. The crank was a little stiff the first batch, but smooth after that.

EG - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
Mixer post was off-center so one of the blades scraped along the side of the pot when turning making it almost impossible. The box was not damaged upon receipt so it appears to be a manufacturing defect. Extremely disappointing given it costs almost $50. Returned.
The Gold Standard.

The gold standard of poppers. Easy to use on any kind of cooking surface and easy cleanup. Especially easy to clean up from kettle corn or other toppings which is what ruined my electric popper. I also highly recommend whirley pop shop brand movie theatre popcorn kits, one came with the popper. You’ll be ordering a 20 pack just like me. This popper is an absolute must have for movie night or for watching the big game.
Theater popcorn!

My daughter received this popcorn maker for Christmas and told me it made fantastic popcorn without all the mess of shaking the pan on your stovetop so I decided to try it too! I have an induction stovetop so I needed to purchase this stainless steel version. I made our first batch as soon as we received the popper and we LOVE it! It really does taste like theater popcorn! The air popper is going in the garbage! I highly recommend purchasing this product if you want to have great tasting popcorn!
