Review 1 for Cuisinart PartyPop Popcorn Maker CPM-900
I used the original version of this popper for several years before it finally quit working, but I was never satisfied with it. The older popper was not vented well, making the popcorn tough and sometimes soggy. I even added vents with a drill, but the old model never came close to what I would call "movie popcorn."
Now, this new model looks pretty much the same as the older model, but it is a VAST IMPROVEMENT over the older one. In fact, this new model amounts to a near-complete re-design of the popper, but you really don't become aware of this until you use it.
The entire top surface of the clear bucket is a vent. The solid color cap on top is removeable -- it is similar to a tupper-wear lid -- and is used only if you eat the popcorn right out of the bucket itself. Personally, I prefer a common bowl, so I never use the lid except to keep dust out of the machine when stored.
Speaking of storage, the popper takes up about the same space as a common 12-cup coffee brewer. Thus, it fits in the pantry, in most cabinets, or it can be left on the countertop without sacrificing much space. Like the old model, this new model is completely dishwasher safe (except for the base, of course, which does not get soiled in normal use). There is absolutely NO wiping clean to do.
The two latches that secure the plate to the base, which on the old model had breakage issues, appear to have been redesigned and made stronger. Also, the cooking element, which was exposed on the old model and could burn a finger if accidently touched, is now sealed into the dishwasher-safe popping plate, which means that the base is always cool.
How does the new model perform? It makes really, really good popcorn! Right out of the popper it comes closer to "movie popcorn" than any other home popper I have tried. Virtually every kernal pops, and a single popping is usually enough to feed both my wife and me.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, Fast/ Speed, easy to use, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, capacity, movie-popcorn taste

This is a great popper. It's quick, easy, and pops almost every single kernel. And it's easy to clean too. Doesn't get any better than that.

I have been addicted to popcorn for a couple of years. I used to think microwave popcorn was one of the twentieth century's greatest inventions. The speed! The convenience! But what is in it? I started to worry. With this machine I know what's in it. Popcorn and a tiny bit of canola oil, that's it. You can butter it or whatever as you wish. Pops great popcorn. If it lasts two years I'll have it paid for with the savings that come with buying bulk popcorn instead of those cardboard boxes full of paper bags. You have to wash it after each use, but hey, why not burn off a few of the calories you just took in?

My husband bought this for me as a surprise gift. It works great and is fast. The dog loves to sit and watch the popcorn pop. Orville Reddenbacher-a 1/2 cup fills up the whole container and almost all the kernels pop.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity, Cord length, durability, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to store, easy to use, Fast/ Speed, Performs Well, quality
Cons: i did think it was a little pricey

Mssweetie
fromChicago, Illinois
This popcorn popper is very easy to use. It has a cup to measure the popcorn. You just add the oil and popcorn, put the lid on, press the start button and sit back and watch it pop. I find the popcorn to be fully popped and crisp. I loved this popper so much that I gave it to friends and relatives this christmas. My brother has used this popper everyday since he received it. He also loves the ease of use and the taste of the popcorn. In addition, it looks great sitting on the kitchen counter!
Pros: easy and convenient to use.
Cons: could be larger to hold more popcorn.

This is the best corn popper I've ever used! Using corn from the same package that I had used in my "unnamed" popper, there were few unpopped kernels with my new Cuisinart PartyPop Popcorn Maker. With the former popper, only about half of the kernels had been popping...even when that popper was only a few months into use. Thanks for this great utensil!

Because of my concern for added salt in microwave popcorn I decided to go back to making popcorn with a popper. This popcorn maker is quick and easy to use with simple clean up. The family gets the benefit of fresh popcorn with no added salt. We add or own spices or follow some of the recipes that come with it.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my nutrition conscious daughter and family. It only uses 1 tablespoon of oil for 10 cups of cooked popcorn...so much better than the microwave bags.
And I am happy to pass on a report that there are only a few kernels of unpopped corn at the end of the pop cycle.
Now, all I need is a smaller version for our family of two!

This is the first popcorn machine I've purchased that actually popped all the popcorn! The lid acts as your popcorn bowl server, too, which is a great idea. I've bought severally corn machine and this Cuisinart is the best one yet!

This works well and is easy to clean. The size is perfect for two people. I have looked at the larger models, but they take up too much space and seem to be much harder to clean.
The only negative: the "lid" does not stay on the bucket when you turn it upside down.

I've owned a lot of different popcorn poppers over the years and this one is excellent. It's easy to use, quick, and makes great popcorn. It seems crisper than the popcorn I was previously making on top of the stove with a manually cranked popper. I love the fact that the popping plate can be removed for washing - it avoids the problem of crusty crud that eventually accumulates on electric poppers that can't be submerged in water.

popcorn popper does not allow the kernels to fully open due to the weight of thew popcorn on top of the kernels. Burning occurs and the popper slows down its rotating when the popcorn gets 3/4 done.

This popcorn popper operated very well. The popping area made it easy to put in oil and popcorn. The serving bowl worked great, using the hand holds, just turn the whole thing upside down. I put the bowl, lid and cooking surface in the dishwasher and it came out fine.
I have wanted one of these particular poppers for a long time and glad to see it lived up to my expectations.
