This Popcorn Poppers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not what I'd hoped for.
I purchased the Waring Pro WPM40 after happily using a West Bend Stir Crazy for many years. A few months ago we instituted a weekly movie night among some friends. When making numerous batches I found that the Stir Crazy had a problem with an unacceptable increase in unpopped kernals after the first batch. Purchasing two brand new Stir Crazy poppers did not resolve this problem so I decided to follow the Movie Theater example. After doing a bit of searching on the internet I was unable to find any informative reviews on this style of popper for home use. Without wanting to spend a large amount of money on the true movie theater models I settled on the Waring Pro WPM40 in part due to: it's more reasonable cost; it's close resemblence to the 'pro' models; it was being advertised by some reputable catalog merchandisers; and the Waring brand name.

The popper arrived in perfect condition and was assembled with little effort. Upon reading the manual and comparing it with the...

2. This is a TOY.
This unit is by no means a professional popper because it cannot produce enough popcorn fast enough to serve more then one person every 4-5 minutes.

The product info claims that about half a cup of unpopped kernels can produce up to 12 cups of popcorn from this unit. I tried numerous times, using different varieties and quantities of popcorn and oil. The fact is, even when this popper is working at its best, it will only produce a single small serving per batch, (about the size of a large cereal bowl) and it will always waste about 10% of the popcorn kernels you put into it.

The so-called "warming light" is just a standard 60 watt lightbulb. It's not going to warm anything.

Waring calls this a "professional" popper - that is just a brand name. This is a consumer unit made in China. If speed and efficiency is your priority, you can save yourself time, money, and popcorn if you stick with a $20 stovetop manual stirring kettle.

Waring WMP40 Popcorn maker is a HIT at our place.
This was a birthday gift for my wife's birthday. It does an excellent job and is as advertised. Clean up is fast and easy. So is making the popcorn. You can have excellent popcorn in less than 10 minutes. This involves getting the device out of storage, putting it together, preheating, popping and serving.

If you do not clean it everytime which is probably not necessary, well at least IMO but not my wife's, then plan on having excellent corn in about 5 minutes.

My wife, the popcorn lover in the house, verbally swore off Microwave popcorn in front of me while the unit was sitting idle upstairs just waiting to be opened on her birthday.

I guess I bought the right gift.
