And the design doesn't encourage the corn to stay in the shoot until

Poor design

The design is flawed and burned my popcorn

The popcorn it ends up making is fine however the top is designed so poorly

Poorly designed.

The lid design is awful and goes straight out unlike other poppers that point down so that the popcorn goes into a bowl

This design is flawed

Plus, as you'll see in my origin review below, the plastic top is poorly designed

Poor design.

While the butter warmer works fine and is a nice touch, the machine itself is poorly designed

Also very nice design

Poor quality plastic, bad design

Very poor design and manufacturing quality

Wish they did a bit better design.

It doesn’t heat up the kernels because it has a very poor design

Very bad design

Terrible design

My issue is that the design of the clear lid snapping onto the bottom (heating) unit, is weak, flimsy, a bit brittle

Anyway it pops the cheap stuff just as well as Orvi$$e Redenbacher

I also love how it came with a recipe book to try different flavors, such as, a spicy ranch and a s’mores flavor!

Works perfectly I no longer burn popcorn.
