I give 4 stars for the simple reason that I would like it to have a cover in front so the popcorn doesn't fly everywhere! I put a kitchen clip in front and hold it until it's done, otherwise it gets chaotic. Other than that, almost all the kernels pop and it's crunchy and tasty

I had to give it back, so bad was it. All the kitchen is full of popcorn if you don’t cover it with towel. But, if you cover it, plastic will melt from the heat. And very noisy.

Unacceptable device, I love Ariete as a company but this one has let me down with all its devices except for this one! Where do I start? First of all, it makes noise! A lot of noise, as if I have a hairdryer on. I need to wait about 15 minutes for it to cool down and make another one, and the worst part is that it barely pops any popcorn!

We bought it a week ago, the popcorn that pops is good and tasty, and most importantly, without butter or oil. However, there is a significant problem and that's why we returned it. It shoots out half of the kernels uncooked (we followed the manual carefully and even watched a video on YouTube, unfortunately, after we bought it), resulting in only 2-3 handfuls at a time. Also, after making it twice (a few handfuls), the manufacturer asks you to let it cool for 20 minutes.
