Mister_Tibbs –
We use “mushroom” popcorn. The name indicates the SIZE of the kernel not where it came from. Our microwave is a cheaper type of unit. 1100 watts and MOST IMPORTANTLY has a rotating platter. I mention that because so many reviews are negative in the use of this popper.
I have now used this new popper almost two dozen times and it has performed incredibly well. Each time I use it I get the same wonderful popping experience that I did before. I do understand the negative reviews and may even agree with a bunch of them. Here is what I’m doing every time I make a pot of corn. 1. When using Mushroom Popcorn I allow the kernels to almost cover the bottom of the pot. 2. I always put a good chunk of a stick of butter (3-4 Tbs.) in the lid and then I salt the heck out of the butter. 3. I set the microwave for 3 minutes and I stand by until the popping slows to one pop every 2 seconds. NEVER STOP THE PROCESS!
We have NEVER had a bad batch of popcorn. It always looks like I put too much butter and salt on top of the lid but it has always been perfect. Excess butter and salt is distributed on the insides of the globe and if you decide that you want more salt on your popcorn then all you have to do is to swirl the popcorn inside of the globe. Soooo Yummy!
Last but not least! DO NOT clean by placing into a dishwasher. HAND WASH ONLY! Putting the popper in the dishwasher could allow other dishes to touch the globe and the pressure of the water in the dishwasher is powerful enough to just vibrate the popper against the pegs of the washer racks, causing the delicate glass rim of popper to crack and chip. The popper is delicate and should be handled in that way. Carefully.
I am NOT disappointed in this little popper and with a little attention paid to the delicacy of my popper I expect it to last for a long long time.
NOTE: It’s been almost a year since the purchase. We continue to use the heck out of it. Average use has been 2-3 times a week or more since we received it. (We love popcorn) As of today 8-12-22 the popper is in good of as when new. Never have popped a bad batch of corn yet. We LOVE this popper.
2nd NOTE. Now at 3 years old and we still use it quite often and as of today it works as good as it did when brand new. I have noticed a tiny bit of fracturing around the plastic handle area due to repeated use. The unit does get really hot during the popping part and consequently is starting to show signs of cracking BUT ONLY on the plastic surfaces. The minor cracks do not weaken the unit or effect its popping. I’m just a little extra careful about grabbing it out of the microwave so quickly, by just the handle. I now use the handle and I also support the entire thing with a dish towel when removing it from the microwave. Even if the handle were to break off, I would still be able to use the popper, just with a potholder or something similar. I’m pretty stoked about this popper. ALWAYS PERFECTLY POPPED.
Update September 28, 2024
We are still using our popper as much as we did when we purchased it back in 2021. It has stood up to the test of time as far as I’m concerned. On my last update I mentioned the cracking of the plastic on the handle. Well, it is doing fine and apparently the micro-cracks have not weakened the plastic and are not getting any worse so I am very happy about that but as always, I like to handle the popper gently just to be safe. I have always placed a big chunk of butter on the top of the lid and then salted the heck out of it before putting it into the microwave. A little tip…… I use only stick butter from the fridge (cold). I don’t get the same results from using the butter in the tubs. I have had some crappy results with popping corn BUT the results were a direct result of trying a different kind of popcorn. My wife purchased a few different types and brands of corn. One type of corn (I can’t remember the name) would just lay in the bottom of the popper and burn with possibly 1% popped. However, that same corn did fantastic in a pot on the stove (98%) popped but then we tried it in our air-popper and it produced approximately 70% popped. Another type of popcorn she bought produced a lousy (20% this popper), (50% stovetop), (90% Air Popped). And another brand of popcorn she bought produced fairly similar results with each of the methods I mentioned above. So in conclusion I find that it isn’t so much a (popper) problem that yields more popped kernels but the actual corn that makes the big difference. We still have our century old 1000 watt turntable style microwave so it isn’t the oven that changes. It’s pretty clear to me that the “magic” is in the kernel not the popper. So if you are experiencing problems with your popper not popping the corn then before you blame the device try and use a different brand of kernel. After all this writing about popcorn and butter and poppers, I am wanting some popcorn RIGHT NOW! I hope this update will help some of you guys with your popper. One last tip; Do as I did and spend some time reading about what popcorn really is and learn from the experts that grow it and make a living doing it. There is an endless stream of information on popcorn available. I actually learned a lot and now that I am aware of just why certain popcorn reacts differently to the various methods of popping it. I learned the proper ways to store it and now understand the differences in water content in the kernels and how that affects the speed, size and texture of the popped kernels. A dry kernel will not pop. Popcorn requires moisture content in each kernel. It’s the moisture that turns into steam inside the kernel that causes it to explode into the popcorn we all love. So check out the world of popcorn and see for yourself. The industry of popcorn is much larger than I ever expected. Learning about popcorn has pretty much eliminated any bad popping experience that we used to get even before purchasing this popper years ago. I expect that this popper will continue to make popcorn for us for quite a long time yet.
Yet another update on this story. The date is February 5, 2025. I was darn sure that by date of 2025 that making popcorn was going to be the function of our kitchen robot, like on the Jetsons. But not so. Instead we have Alexa and Seri. Both won’t shut up and they are constantly arguing about something they are not capable of understanding and now my ChatGPT has joined in on my future kitchen. I should have known back in the early 1960’s that the future is not going to be like everyone thought it would be.
HOWEVER, I still own a perfectly good corn popper that was never considered back then. Of course, no Radar Ranges to use with the popper. I purchased it back in June of 2021 and we have used it multiple times per week since the day we received it. As of today it is still in perfect shape and still pops a great bowl of popcorn. Still have the same obsolete microwave. Possibly on its last leg. The platter still turns but with a heck of a clunking sound but nonetheless it still works great with the red globe popper. I plan on updating this review later this year on the 4 year anniversary of the purchase of the popper. If I haven’t made myself clear then read this…. BUY IT NOW. BE GENTLE AND IT WILL LAST!
Happy popping!!

I bought this for my dad because we all love popcorn when we go over to there house. We loved it so much I bought a mint green one for myself! It works great! I love that it’s small and fits perfectly in the empty space I had in my cabinet. It pops well barely leaving any kernels if not any! It taste great and I love that I can use different types of kernel’s in it. And I know longer have to do it over my stove, or using a big bulky popcorn machine like I used to have! Highly recommended!

Ich habe den Popcorn Popper in L.A. gesehen und musste ihn unbedingt haben. Vorher habe ich nur Popcorn von Chio oder so in diesen Tüten gemacht, aber das war nie so der Bringer.
Dieses Teil klang nach einer echten Alternative.
Versand kam direkt aus den USA und ging schnell und Problemlos. Nachdem es einmal abgespült wurde, wurde es auch gleich getestet.
Schritt 1: Der Deckel ist gleichzeitig auch Füllbecher für den Popcorn Mais. Einfach soviel Mais hinzugeben, bis die Markierung erreicht wurde und in das Behältnis schütten.
Schritt 2: Deckel drauf und in die Mikrowelle. Lt. Anleitung 2 Minuten (bei meiner ca. 2,5 Minuten) laufen lassen.
Schritt 3: Abkühlen lassen und die nicht aufgepoppten Körner aussortieren und das Popcorn vorm Fernseher vernichten.
Klappt wunderbar und ist lecker. Aktuell experimentiere ich mit dem Zucker noch etwas rum. Ich habe ihn immer direkt nach dem rausnehmen aus der Mikrowelle dazugegeben. War okay, aber ich denke wenn er in der Mikrowelle direkt mit dabei ist wird es besser. In den Deckel kann man auch ein Stück Butter legen, das zerläuft in der Mikrowelle und gibt dem Popcorn einen leckeren Buttergeschmack.
Mit in der Verpackung sind noch zwei weitere Rezepte, die ich noch nicht ausprobiert habe.
Fazit: Wer weniger Müll, mehr Popcorn und flexibler in den Geschmacksrichtungen sein will, muss dieses Teil haben. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.

LOVE this. I purchased the 3 quart and found that my microwave needs 4 minutes, but it’s easy to hear when the kernels slow down. The popcorn turned out very nicely and the butter melting feature is nice. So easy to use and clean.

I absolutely love popcorn and this is a game changer. I usually cook my popcorn on the stove, but this is so easy to just put in the microwave with the butter and walk away. It is easy to clean, and uses less butter and oil which makes it a healthy snack option. The speed in which it cooks, and the amount of popcorn it holds is perfect. I would have given it 5 stars, but the only reason it got 4 is because of how hot the glass gets after cooking.

Using butter just burns the popcorn. Not using butter and the kernels technically pop, but it’s more like they crack, then burn. Leaving it at 3 stars since it could be my corn or my microwave being at fault. I bought this since my former roommate had one and he was able to make popcorn just fine (in a different microwave). Also it’s easy enough to clean. You will want to scrub the heck out of the lid with dish soap until you can’t feel ANY grease before you toss it in the dishwasher though, or it will do that thing that happens to tupperware and other plasticware where it pits it and you get this white soapy coating after. My mistake, I didn’t scrub it well enough. It’s dishwasher safe otherwise.

As a popcorn lover, the Ecolution Patented Micro-Pop Microwave Popcorn Popper has been a fantastic find! It’s incredibly easy to use and delivers delicious, healthy popcorn without any fuss. The best part is how simple it is: just add kernels to the silicone bowl, put it in the microwave, and in a few minutes, you have perfectly popped corn. No oil needed for popping, which is great for a healthier snack, but you can add butter or seasonings afterwards. It’s also super easy to clean, unlike traditional popcorn makers. While it might take a little trial and error to find your microwave’s perfect popping time, once you do, it’s consistent. It’s also a much more eco-friendly option than microwave bags. If you’re looking for a convenient, healthy, and easy way to make popcorn at home, I highly recommend the Ecolution Micro-Pop. It’s a simple gadget that brings a lot of joy!

My husband loves popcorn and was using brown paper lunch bags to microwave his corn. I thought this might be perfect to try. I will warn you, it does take a little finessing to get the time right to pop the entire bowl but we’re getting there. Every microwave will be different so get ready to experiment. The first time, a lot of the kernels hadn’t popped, the next time the corn was starting to burn. We have used it with and without oil and it works either way. I tried to melt butter in the lid once, but it started to scorch on the corn as it microwaved so that was a drag. It does make a smaller amount than expected, like a single serving, but if we need more we can just make another. So far it feels like it should be durable, but it was a surprise to see it was hard plastic and not silicone. Regardless the food is not touching the plastic, only the glass bowl inside. It’s easy to rinse out and wipe clean or just put it in the dishwasher.

I love popcorn and hate to buy the big bags to keep it on hand. Easy use & clean up. Took way longer to pop in my microwave than it said in the instructions. Play with the timing in your microwave. Popcorn was really good and only a dozen kernels didn’t pop.
