Well, I spent fifty euros and I thought worst case scenario, it's just another useless item in the collection of useless items we all accumulate over time. Guys, this little machine is truly amazing. I put almost double the amount I usually put in the pot, added a little oil, and pressed the button. In almost 3 minutes, the first kernels started popping, and in another minute they had all popped. That's when I went crazy, I turned it upside down as I should and not a single unpopped kernel was left. Guys, considering the price, not a single unpopped kernel. I don't know if it was just luck, but I was impressed. The amount was enough for 3 people and cleaning up was a breeze. If you like popcorn and don't want it to be like the ones made by air poppers, get this with your eyes closed and you won't regret it!! I don't know about its durability, just like I don't know if right after this review I'll go out and get hit by a truck. Time will tell. By the way, the pictures don't do it justice, the tool is huge like a big basketball with handles and maybe even a little bigger.

WARNING!!! The description is wrong when it says it's hot air. It's not. It has a metal plate that heats up and that's where the magic happens.
