For Christmas my kids got a Nostalgia Electrics popcorn maker. Even though it took us over a month to get it out of the box and give it a try, it still managed to disappoint.
It is a nice-looking air-popped popcorn maker, but it is ineffective as a method of actually popping corn. Less than half of the kernels managed to pop. I know that all methods of popping corn are not 100% effective at getting every last kernel, but this is just ridiculous. Most of the kernels were ejected from the popping hole as the other kernels were popped.
It will look nice up on the shelf, but only useful for a single serving.
