Cuisinart PartyPop CPM-800 Popcorn Maker  Product Reviews

"I got a few of these on sale and at first was tickled pink. In a span of 2 weeks, 3 entire ones broke due to the small clip. I wouldn't recommend this at all!"

"This appliance is very poor quality considering the brand. We bought one of these in January and with limited use, it broke down in June. For $ 10.00 plus our shipping costs, Cuisinart replaced it. That one broke the second time we used it! By the time I return this, I could have purchased a product of higher quality for less money."

"I am a popcorn afficiando and was hoping that the Cuisinart would be a bit heavier duty than my well working but not very durable Presto Stir-Crazy. Pros: 1.Removable/dishwashable cooking plate and cover. - It is great to be able to wash all of the cooking surfaces in the dishwasher. 2. Non-stick coasting seems better than most. Cons: 1. No steam vent holes! - Popcorn loses its crunch and is chewy. 2. Tall and narrow design- Good for storage. Bad for popping corn. Popped corn gets stacked on the top of the unpopped corn however the popper gets a bit bogged down with the taller stack of corn weighing on the stirring rod. 3. Non-stick coating does eventually scratch."

"I ordered this in Sept. 2005, and during the first use, it stopped working. I immediately called Cuisinart customer service for a replacement -- not only do I have to pay to send back the hunk of junk, but I also have to pay for them to ship the new item. BUT WAIT -- IT GETS BETTER! I finally got the replacement March 2006 and am told that my three year warranty on the new product begins a month before I bought the original hunk of junk! Because they took their sweet time, I have lost nearly 7 months of warranty time for an item I bought and have yet to use it one complete time successfully! They told me that there was absoultely nothing they could do about it. UNBELIEVABLE -- talk about terrible customer service policies. That is the last time I am fooled by Cuisinart (Conair) -- I will never buy another product from them!"
