(More customer reviews)I've had several hot air poppers over the years, none with problems. I've only thrown them out because they've gotten old and look unsightly; not because they stopped working. I'm sick of microwaved popcorn and decided to buy a new hot air popper. The Blinq is small and cute and I got it on sale at Bloomingdales for $19.99. Simply put, this is a major piece of garbage. For every kernel that pops, another 5 to 10 kernels shoot out prematurely, carried out of the machine by the one popped kernel. These aren't popcorn "duds" that wouldn't pop otherwise. These are just prematurely blown out of the machine. On top of that, a large percentage of popped kernels don't get blown towards the bowl but in other directions so there's popcorn all over the room, no matter how large a bowl is placed under the shoot. Towards the end of the popping cycle, a large number of kernels that were about to pop but hit the bowl first start popping and shoot like fireworks from the bowl (it's unclear to me how they pick up such a high, long and forceful trajectory. I've seen unpopped kernels pop out of bowls before but not THAT far). Basically, from around 4 Tbs of popcorn, I get about 1.5 cups of popped popcorn or no more than I'd get from one of those little snack sized single serving microwave popcorn bags. And I get back about 3 Tbs of unpopped kernels between the bottom of the bowl and whatever has flown all over the kitchen. I find kernels in places I'd never expect to find them, days after using the machine. Do NOT buy this machine.
