I got this one because it only has one door, not two, and less plastic on the top. Works super well and is relatively easy to clean. The included stuff is quite nice; my wife loves the graphic design of the bags. Popcorn making is easy, but I would say if you're making like 2oz of popcorn, pay careful attention as it pops, it will be done quick.Best practice is to ignore the book when it says to preheat the oil. Just dump the coconut oil, the popcorn, and the Flavacol (make sure you buy some!) in the hopper all at once. The manual advises against this, but if you buy pre-made packs of oil/popcorn/salt, they say to dump it all in at once. I've done both methods and preheating oil really doesn't make it better, and not adding the salt in the kettle means it never quite has that movie theater taste.I've done Flavacol salt + my oil + my popcorn, as well as the pre-made packs, and the pre-made packs are easier, but doing everything separate is cheaper and also easy.Anyway there are a LOT of very similar machines on Amazon and it took me a while to pull the trigger. This one I have been very happy with, so buy with confidence!
