this unit has no on/off switch, one has to manually plug in the electrical outlet and unplug it after use, recommand use less than half cup of kernal,unit takes about 90 seconds to heat up, you get about 5 percentag of wasted/unpop corn per batch.

Though that this would be so cute, but it shoots popcorn all over the place, the opening is to large, and unless you have a very large shallow bowl your going to get alot of popcorn on your counter & Floor.

First off, this isn't perfect. But what do you expect from a Taz/Looney Tunes themed kitchen appliance? If you read some of the other reviews, I guess they expect the popcorn to always land correctly in every bowl used with no unpopped kernals. Sorry but NO popcorn maker does those things 100%, so they will have to keep searching for that magical appliance.

Now for reasonable people, you will LOVE this popcorn maker. I mean, how can you not smile when you see it? My favorite thing about it is that it can make even "dry" popcorn a treat for kids who *LOVE* to watch the popcorn pop out of TAZ's mouth.

But you are wondering--how does it perform? Exactly like you would expect. You might need to play around with bowls or bowl placement to control where the popcorn lands, but that is how all open air poppers work.

How does it taste? GREAT, again exactly what you would expect. Does it have a problem with "old maids" or unpopped popcorn? None that I saw, the unpopped amount was just about what I would have gotten from my normal popcorn popper. The confusion is that cheap, older popcorn won't pop as much, so with any popcorn popper you want fresh good quality corn.

Other features? Not much, but then you don't miss much. On/Off switch, no--but most air popper don't have them. "Melt Tray" for butter, no--but I have NEVER gotten one of those to melt my butter anyway.

Summery--A very fun, very useful popcorn popper without any real flaws, despite a few other reviews. You will be very happy with this model.

Taz seems well-made and is certainly cute, but the designers were obviously not well-versed in popcorn dynamics. Popcorn flies everywhere (which delights the kids) and in the process it pushes a hefty number of unpopped kernels out as well.

I wish I'd gone for the plain-jane popper when I replaced my previous air popper.

Yes this item is "cute" but there seems to be a design flaw in that it wastes so much popcorn. Not only does it spew popcorn all over the counter and floor if you do not have a big enough bowl, it results in 20-30% old maids.

The popper is not only cute, it works extremely well and is fast, although as the corn starts popping, some of the first kernels may miss the bowl. The clean up is a snap -- just wipe with a wet towel.
