I have to admit it is a bit expensive, but I did go ahead and purchase it because I want to support, innovative and creative people here in the United States! We made our first batch of popcorn last night, and my husband and I both agreed it was the best popcorn we’ve ever had!

Yellow, Mint, Cobalt, Poppy OR Cream! The Poppabilities are endless!

I did not receive my order after picking my choice of color. Please help!

$199 for this popper vs the $40 whirly pop popper. Gee; I wonder which one will sell more than the other😂😂😂😂 You guys need to bring the price down close to the whirly pop popper

Our stovetop popper isn't for everyone-and we didn't intend it to be. The The Whirley is a great alternative, but if you have an induction cooktop or just prefer the simplicity of premium cookware that's easy to clean (and dishwasher safe), the Popsmith would be a butter (wink) bet. Our multi-layered metal bottom was designed to prevent burning and sticking, too.

$200 for pretty over function. Vs Whirley Pop, this designs has your hand staying over the stove instead of off to the side AND there's less venting on the top of this which means MORE steam inside resulting in chewier instead of crunchier popcorn. $200 for a one trick pony. Sucker born every minute

We’ve had a Whirley Pop for over 35 years and never had popcorn stick or burn.and never had to fiddle with it with kernels getting stuck in the blade. If our Whitley Pop ever breaks, I might consider yours but not for $200.

You can already buy a whirly pop at any store in the country. It's been around for decades and pops nearly every kernel every time. You are trying to solve a problem that's been solved for a hundred years

@@ilovepopsmith💯agree! Especially being able to use with induction thingy ♥️

nowhere in the video does it explain why this is better than a stainless steel Whirly Pop? Is it just the fancier look. Does the stirring mechanism have some mechanical advantage over the though-the-handle style? Does it pop faster?

@ilovepopsmith

Hi, the key differences are that the Popsmith has a multi clad metal bottom for better heat distribution, which is key to cooking sweet popcorn successfully. Also our patented stirring mechanism ensures all the kernels are tumbled around and in constant motion, resulting in a better cook and greater yield. The whirley has two skinny rods at the bottom that dont move the pre-popped kernels around.

I doubt it. The turning mechanism is different, but essentially it like a Whirley Pop. My Whirley pops nearly every kernel every time in only a few minutes. To me, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Looks nice, though.

I have the Popsmith and the Whirley-Pop stainless steel. (induction compatible). I prefer the Whirley-Pop. I used the Popsmith 5 times to give it a fair shot. The one advantage of the Popsmith is that it's extremely easy to clean. The Popsmith is now in the Goodwill pile.

@@berighteous Their target audience are the ignorant and those easily charmed by the fancy looking packaging. Anyone who buys this deserves what they get... a credit card bill.

Okay, I am going to help all of you... friendly nice people who are clearly intelligent and charming... This item can indeed pop your popcorn. But please don't buy it. You probably have a range top stove. You most likely have a soup pot of some sort. I even bet you have pot holders. You literally already have everything you need to make popcorn on your stove top. Okay, instead of telling you why why buying a fancy yellow 'whirly pop' is an idiotic choice I will simply tell you how to do everything this device does with what you already own. What you need: -1 half gallon to gallon sized pot. -Pot holders. -Measuring spoons. Recipe REGULAR POPCORN -1/4 teaspoon salt, the finer the grind the better but any salt will do. -1/4 cup popcorn. -2 Tablespoons oil. In the cold pot place the oil and three kernels of popcorn. Cover with the top. You will need to fiddle with your temperature controls the first few time to burn the corn. I set my temp to the second dot. Your oven will vary. After the three kernels of popcorn have popped take them out and add the rest of the popcorn kernels. Cover with the top. Now in your head sing the verse from the 'Staying Alive' song by the Bee Gees (this is super important). When ever the song goes 'Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive' shake the pot. Repeat. Listen to hear when the popping slows and turn off the heat. DON'T wait for all of the popping to stop. That is a strategy for burning your popcorn. KETTLE CORN -1/4 teaspoon salt. the finer the grind the better but any salt will do. -2 Table spoons sugar. -1/4 cup popcorn. -2 Tablespoons oil. Use the same process as above. KETTLE CORN WITH BROWN SUGAR -1/4 teaspoon salt. the finer the grind the better but any salt will do. -two table spoons packed brown sugar -1/4 cup popcorn. -1 Tablespoons oil. -1table spoon melted butter. Again use the same procedure except wait to add the butter until the three kernels have popped. The oil will spit, be warned. Add the popcorn and proceed as described above. Keep a keep nose for sugar that is burning. It is really easy to do so experiment with temperature control. I literally make popcorn almost daily. I actually use my soup pot more for popcorn that soup. I am sure this product will make popcorn, but why spend the money?

Perhaps, but your yellow uni-tasker is going to collect more dust than my two quart soup pot. It is a fancy yellow waste of money. It no doubt works, but not better than a simple $20 - $30 pot you can buy at IKEA. I get it. You invested money in a scheme that you want a return on. i just don't see the utility or need for it. Its a gadget. An expensive one at that that only does one thing. I mean unless you are selling your popcorn maker with a regular top that does not have a handle. But even if it does you can still do everything that fancy yellow whirly pop does with a a pot purchased almost anywhere else. Good luck to your business venture. To all of the consumers out there. Its a waste of money and space. Learn how to make popcorn with out it.

@@ilovepopsmith So true... My mom also taught me to take the time to evaluate my purchases and determine if they were something that would bring value to my life or take up space. Can I made do with what I already have and if so don't buy something else. Always ask yourself, 'do I really need this?' Marie Kondo taught me to think, 'does this item bring joy?' Alton brown taught me to not buy uni-taskers as they will clutter up my limited kitchen space. And finally Jiffy-pop taught me how to make popcorn on the stove top with out a 'fancy whirly pop.' I just don't think buying a kitchen toy that does one thing (admittedly quite well) will bring anyone more joy than making do with what they already have and learning ow to make popcorn in their own kitchen tools. Especially when your toy makes people think they need a super unique specialized tool to do what they can do with the items they already own.
