This is a very nice popcorn popper for the price. At 6 oz, you get a decent amount of popcorn per pop but it is difficult to get it all to pop and all to come out of the popper. I think if the lid over the pot were the butterfly type that more popcorn would push up and through the lid, but with the flat lid, it takes a while for the popcorn to pile high enough to push its way out. This is nice for the money, yes...is it a commercial popper, no. I have used this many time for functions with about 30-75 kids and it keeps up ok if you keep with the popping and emptying. I think our church may invest in a larger popper and this become an at home use one. Not bad though, not bad at all.
