West Bend 16 oz. Professional Popcorn on Demand in Silver/Black

I was initially skeptical to purchase this popcorn popper due to the not-so-good reviews, however it was on clearance for a fraction of the original price, so I figured I'll give it a try. I bought it 3.5 months ago and delayed writing a review because a major complaint by other reviewers was the longevity of the product. I use it an average of 3-5 times per week and it is still working fine. There was one time the function switch was stuck and I could not push it to the “On/Pop” position and I thought it was broken, but then I read the instruction manual and followed the “Clean” procedure and realized that kernel(s) was stuck somewhere during the dispensing process; and apparently the popper will not operate until the jam is cleared. Once I released the jammed kernels, the appliance worked. Also, I have had no issues with large amount of unpopped kernels. One of the helpful tip noted in the instruction manual is “Always use the popcorn stored in the popcorn storage chamber as quickly as possible. Generally, popcorn will lose its moisture within a month and popping results may be poor. Store extra popcorn in airtight containers.” In addition, according to the instruction manual, the appliance has a 1 year warranty. P.S: I have included photos to this review. I was going to upload a video of the popper in action, however there is no option for me to upload the video directly to this review, except I have the video uploaded somewhere else (e.g. Youtube), and I don't have time for that... Let me go have some popcorn :)
