Let me first say the customer service at Mighty Nest is outstanding...five star. I ordered (several) of the Catamount poppers each of them broke at the handle. Finally, I called customer service and realized through that conversation there was a design flaw in the larger size as many customrs were experiencing the same disappointment with the product. Amy Riseborough was fabulous and suggested we try the smaller version without the handle. Love it! We use it every single night. Crunchy delicious and healthy. Easy clean-up. No worries about breaking. I have sent many friends to your sight and will continue to do so.
I loved the design and the idea of making healthy organic popcorn cheaply for my family - however after one use, I tapped the handle on the side of my sink - and it broke off...leaving a hole. I had to throw the broken glass in the recycle bin. I kept the plastic vented top and use it on a glass caraffe to make my own popcorn popper. I chalked the experience up to one movie-theater priced home popcorn experience.
I really love how green this set up is. Everything washes easily in the dishwasher, and no plastic! The only downside is that it doesn't make very much popcorn at a time. Enough for one person. And it takes my microwave about 3 minutes to pop 1/4 cup kernels. So to make enough for a family of 4 will take you about 12 minutes.
I ordered 3 of these (one for each of my adult children and their families)...now I'm in the process of ordering for gifts....wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!
I was happy to find this glass popcorn popper in a store, but I've had the same disappointing results as BethAnn.
There are too many unpopped kernels, no matter how I adjust the time -- or, the amount of oil -- or, the amount of popcorn -- or, the power level of the microwave.
If someone knows the perfect combination, please let us know. Thanks.
I've only used it a few times and have been disappointed. I put in 2 oz. of popcorn and butter on top. Fortunately, we have a rather large microwave because it just fits.
We didn't get a lot of popcorn and we had a LOT of unpopped kernels left over.
I will continue to adjust amounts of popcorn and cooking time, as well as adding butter at the end (good idea!). I haven't given up yet!
A great product and a great idea, however if there is one thing that I would like the manufacture to do, it would be to strengthen or additionally support the glass handle, it is way too easy to break and as discovered not only does the handle break if inadvertently hit but the glass that the handle is attached also breaks, rendering the product useless. Other than that we really like it.

When I use this, it barely pops any of the kernels. It seems like a great idea but doesn't work well in my microwave.

P.S. I does clean up nicely, though.

I absolutely love this popper. The popcorn taste so much better than regular microwave popcorn and it is healthier too.
I love my new glass popcorn popper. It's also a better feeling knowing it's not a plastic product. Healthier for me and the environment.
