The Original Whirley Pop 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Popper with Bonus Popcorn Bowl Review

The Original Whirley Pop 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Popper with Bonus Popcorn Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this popper after reading the reviews. I love Kettle Corn, and have tried various microwave versions, which were OK, but were kind of expensive for the amount received. The reviews were mostly favorable on this unit and some of the remarks that the construction is rather flimsy are also valid. But friends it's a popcorn maker not a sledge hammer. The weak link is the crank and gear mechanism which could be improved without a huge investment, but that said if you don't force things I'm sure you will get many buckets of delicious wholesome popcorn, the best that I've tasted in many years, and with very few unpopped kernels. You will have to experiment to determine the heat range, I use a gas range, but the results are worth the effort. The regular popcorn is great using 2 tbsp of peanut oil and 1/2 cup of Orville's salt to taste you won't be disappointed. The key is to quit cranking when the resistance is great and remove from heat when the popping slows.
The Kettle Corn is delicious and you can have it whenever you wish without looking for a Fair or Carnival. I alter the recipe a little using 1/4 cup of peanut oil & 1/4 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of Orville's and as I said when the cranking gets tough STOP and you won't strip the gears. Be sure to season the pot before using the popper for the first time by putting a tablespoon of oil swirling it around and heating. Allow to cool and wipe it out with a paper towel and you're good to go. Start enjoying popcorn like you haven't had since you were a child!

I have about 10 pop corn poppers, Air blower type, Microwave types, stove top types and THIS IS THE BEST of them all. I use much less oil, 1 teaspoon per batch like the advertisement says. Every cornel pops in every batch. I have never had any burned corn either. The popper is easy to rinse clean. I have popcorn at least 4 times per week and by far, this is the best popper I have ever had and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. (I have a gas stove and have not tried it on an electric stove so results may vary) If you like popcorn, buy this popper!!!

I bought this when my air popper died & I am so glad I found this product! The popcorn is the best & it is very simple to make. The thing I like the best is that it is a healthy alternative to the chemically filled microwave popcorn. I can choose which oil to use & how much so I have total control over what goes into my popcorn so I feel confident that what I am eating is good for me.
The packaged corn that came with was ok & a good introduction to using the popper but I will not buy packages again as it is so easy to make a great tasting popcorn on my own. I did try the cinnamon popcorn recipe from the included book & it was fantastic!
I would recommend this to anyone, the popper is easy to handle, easy to clean & it makes the best, crisp & crunchy popcorn ever. It only takes about 3 minutes to be done & you can even use the stirring mechanism to stir extra butter in it or other salt or other seasonings. Sometimes simple & old fashioned is better & that is the case with this item.
Now we can't wait to rent a movie so we have an excuse to pop popcorn almost every night!

I love this popper. I was looking for a way to make homemade kettle corn & this is it. It is so easy to use. My 12 yr old makes popcorn by himself and my younger kids love to crank the handle. For kettle corn I use 1/2 cup Orville popcorn, 1/4 c white sugar(brown makes caramel corn) and a little oil, sprinkle with salt before serving. Dump all together and put on burner. 5 mins later you have delicious kettle corn. I highly recommend this if you are tired of microwave and really want delicious homemade popcorn. A little FYI we have tried the popcorn kit it comes with, while it is good(a wee bit salty in spots) it's really not all that necessary. You get delicious popcorn using Orville's and a little butter drizzled on.

(More customer reviews)
I have purchased several Whirley Pop Popcorn Poppers from Amazon and other locations. Everyone who sees me use it wants one and thus I have given them to friends as Christmas presents. Rather than restate many things covered in other reviews I will point out a few things.
Before popping make sure the tips of the arms that stir the popcorn are pointed up. If these become flipped while cleaning and the tips point down the tips grind the bottom of the pan.
The directions tell you not to use butter but I have no problem using a mix of half butter and half olive oil.
When buying packages of premeasured popcorn/salt/oil do not buy the 8 oz. size. These are too large for the popper and you have to take it off of the stove before it completes. This results in very salty and oily popcorn. Stick with the 4 or 6 oz. packages.
Remember, solid oils are bad for you and this is what is used in most packages that include the popcorn, oil and salt. If you are buying a Whirley Pop to get away from the hazards of microwave popcorn then consider using olive oil.
Crank slowly. All you need to do is move the popcorn around for even heating. Cranking too fast causes the popcorn to push up onto the side of the pan.
Once the popping is done it may seem convenient to shake a cheese mix into the pan and use the crank to mix it into the popcorn. If you do this the cheese with stick to the shaft and arms of the popper. Pour your popcorn into a bowl before adding flavorings.

I opted for this aluminum popper instead of the stainless steel. Lesson learned. It does pop almost all of the corn. It's kind of fun to use. Guests and kids think it's cool. The popcorn it makes sure does taste good. Fits in the dishwasher.
The lid fits properly for about the first week, then never again. Occasionally I have to fiddle with the gears to get it going again. The thin aluminum pan has become warped and no longer heats evenly.
You get what you pay for.

Perfect for anyone who loves to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch movies, this stovetop popcorn popper makes up to 6 quarts of theater-style popcorn in just three minutes. The unit features a sturdy, even-heating aluminum pan with a clip-on aluminum lid and a stay-cool wooden handle. Simply add 1 to 3 tablespoons of oil and a 1/2 cup of popcorn to the popper and place it on the stovetop. Slowly and continuously turn the hand crank on the handle, which spins the internal stainless-steel stirring mechanism and keeps the corn moving across the bottom of the pan for even heat and oil distribution. The popper's lid contains steam vents to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp. Pour the popcorn into a bowl, then have fun adding your favorite toppings--everything from salt and melted butter to brewer's yeast, grated Parmesan, or Cajun seasonings. When finished, simply remove the lid and wipe out the popper with a paper towel, then store the lightweight popper for later use, or better yet, keep it on the stovetop for a healthy snack any time. The popcorn popper measures approximately 10 by 17 by 8 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

I had an aluminum Whirley Pop that had performed wonderfully for years. For reasons beyond my understanding, my wife bought this popper as a replacement. Despite its added solidity and bulk, the steel pan and lid fail to heat up enough to keep steam from condensing heavily onto the popped corn. This creates tough, chewey, popcorn. If you heated the popper without oil for a time you might be able to avoid this. The aluminum popper does a better job for less money and without excessive preheating time.

Give the Wabash people a call. They will ask you when you bought the popper and they will register your product. Then they will send you a brand new lid no questions asked. They will continue to do this for the next 25 years. I wish the entire gear system was made of metal, but with impeccable customer service like Wabash provides, I can overlook that.
As for the popper itself, the other reviews pretty much cover it. More fun and healthier than microwave popcorn and easier to store than a hot air job. I use 1/8 cup olive oil to 1/2 cup popcorn and don't even bother turning the gear until I hear the first kernel explode. I'm hoping this will save wear and tear for next time. I melt a tablespoon or two of butter over the top just 'cause I like the taste and add a little salt right in the kettle (be sure to use a potholder...it's hot!). Once the popcorn is gone, I fit the lid back on and stick it back under the cabinet. I don't even bother to wipe it out. Keeps it nice and seasoned!

Cook N Home 6.5 Quart Stainless Steel Popcorn Popper Stovetop Review

Cook N Home 6.5 Quart Stainless Steel Popcorn Popper Stovetop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Basically, they're all the same, Cook N Home, Back to Basics, Whirly Pop - probably all made in the same factory in China. And they're all crap, cheap manufactured devices that barely function but kinda get the job done. This one and Back to Basics have metal gears, Whirly Pop has plastic, so an edge to Back to Basics, but the gears mesh poorly - after first use you'll see little particles of steel under them.
This one, the Cook N Home, is the most recent one I've tried. After two uses, the screws that hold the wooden handle in place fell out. Also, as the pot expanded with heat, the gears eventually wouldn't mesh at all unless I pushed the handle in as I turned the crank. I solved that by bending the inner side of the crank's retaining bracket closer to the gears, allowing for less play. And I'll replace the 1/2" screws that fell out with longer ones - the wooden handle doesn't come off without the screws, it just rotates freely, making it impossible to turn the popper over to empty it without grabbing some part of the pot itself.
Before this one, I had a Back to Basics aluminum popper which I bought for [...] at Kmart. Identical design, but much thinner metal. So the advantage of the more expensive stainless steel Cook N Home and Back to Basics is more solid construction and a thicker bottom. The aluminum popper had bad meshing problems with its gears as well. From what I've read of the Whirly Pops, however, the plastic gears are prone to splitting. So it may be worth ponying up for stainless. As I said earlier, it basically gets the job done, in a gear-grinding, screw-popping way.
Update - after about 4 or 5 uses, the gears no longer mesh but jam, largely because the center shaft has become wobbly. The gears are really chewed up too. It is now useless. I would change the rating to one star if I could.

Wabash Valley Farms 25008 Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper Review

Wabash Valley Farms 25008 Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using my Whirley Pop for three years now. I eat a lot of popcorn, and I've tried every method known to man for making it. This device wins the prize: it makes a full pot of fluffy, crisp corn using a minimum of oil, leaving essentially no unpopped kernels.
But you have to pay attention to the directions and leave your preconceptions behind.
1. Don't use high heat. Yes, with the usual heavy pot you use high heat and shake vigorously. With Whirley Pop, you should use medium heat, and just crank the crank.
2. Don't use too much oil. 1-2 tablespoons is plenty. Use canola oil and you have a low-fat, low-cholesterol snack that tastes delicious.
3. Use good-quality popping corn. Orville's is good, but I've also gotten fine results with bulk popping corn for 50 cents a pound as well. Just know your source. And store it properly, sealed, dry, and cool. I've tried several exotic and (expensive) varieties and usually achieved results inferior to Orville's.
4. DON'T USE HIGH HEAT. Really. Most of the problems people seem to have with the Whirley Pop can probably be traced to setting the burner to High.
I don't really recommend any of the other products - corn, oils, flavorings - sold along with this popper, but the popper itself makes perfect popcorn, the best I've every had. You just have to pay attention to what you're doing and follow the instructions.
