We have been using the Stir Crazy popcorn popper for around 20 years. Ours finally quit working and we got another one. Everyone loves the popcorn we pop. We have tried air poppers but only because they were the in thing at one time but there is no comparison if you are a true popcorn lover when it comes to taste. If you like butter on yours there is a place at the top that you can put butter in and it will slowly drip onto the popcorn as it pops.
PS-Margaret- popcorn is a wonderful fiber food. As long as you do not have anything like diverticulitis you will be fine. I also eat popcorn almost everynight.
