I'm interested in this popping solution, though I dare to interject another cheap alternative.

The Powerpop is a Microwave device. The only downside is that it requires these little inserts that you're supposed to replace every few uses. But you just ass 1-2 tbsp of vegetable/olive oil, and exactly 1/3 cup of popcorn. If you have a high powered microwave the popping only takes about 1 minute and 40 seconds and rarely leaves much unpopped. The popcorn is delicious.
The Stir Crazy popper cooks a whole cup of popcorn per batch? Is that just for you or often for others as well? My popper uses 1/3 cup of popcorn and it is a good amount for myself.
