Kmart Anko Popcorn Maker

Anko popcorn maker – This popcorn mak r ate. It did spill a bit but was expected. Gives a good amount of popcorn perfect for 1 or 2 people. For the price this exceeds in quality. Although it does make a bit of a weird and loud sound. But nothing to bqd Show details ·  1

Was I not meant to like this?? – I got gifted one for Xmas, and have used it a few times already and have had no problems. I fill the scoop thing with a little of half full of Woolies popping corn and turn it on and all my corns are popped in no time, it’s honestly faster than the microwave. There’s only a few unpopped corns, but I do agree it does go flying everywhere so I have… Read more

to either hold the bowl up close to the chute or place my bowl ontop or a 2nd one. And don’t touch any kernels are come flying out they are HOT

Not fit for purpose – The spinning is too fast and catapults the hot unpopped kernels out. The bowl is always full of unpopped kernels which is a waste. But the worst thing is that the slits in the lid are too big, so there are hot kernels flying through the air. I will return mine. Show details

Messy – When this popcorn maker starts it blows out a lot of hot, unpopped corn kernels, not into the bowl but all over the place. The popped corn is well popped but once again it blows everywhere except the bowl. It is poorly designed. Show details

Terrible Product – First time using it, the popcorn clogged the hole to the bowl, filled up and pushed off the lid spewing popcorn everywhere… Even when it was working it missed the bowl some of the time, and shot kernels everywhere Show details

blew up after 3 months – Plus when it worked it sprayed popcorn everywhere. The popcorn itself was fine while it worked Show details

Disappointing – I used the measuring cup, followed the instructions etc yet still popcorn popped and spat out all over the place. A lot of un popped kernels also flew out of the machine as if it was overfull. Even with the bowl positioned properly some popcorn ended up on the floor and over the bench. You get what you pay for I guess. Show details

Does the job if you can catch it! – Super fast but very noisy. Main problem is there is no direction. Corn whether it is popped or not end up absolutely everywhere. Does the job (sort of) and is fine if you don't mind picking up corn off the floor for days after. Show details

Fast but Messy! – Whilst I still believe this product is good value for money, here’s my honest review… This machine pops corn super fast! BUT… popcorn flys EVERYWHERE, including lots of unpopped kernels all over the kitchen! The spout is far too small to accomodate the volume of popcorn flying out into the bowl below & every other direction! For $19 it’s still a decent deal, so long as you are prepared to clean up the kitchen floor afterwards! Show details

50% Popcorn 100% Mess – Anko Popcorn Maker sprays debris (pieces of the popped kernels) out of all the vents to a radius of approx 1.5 metres from the machine (including vertically), and pops less than 80% of the kernels put into the machine. The area where the pop corn comes out is too small to handle the amount of pop corn causing it to build up in the machine, the… Read more

outlet is also shaped in such a way that it is not possible to catch the pop corn in a bowl when it does come out. When the machine is turned on and a bowl is simply placed under the outlet you can expect 30%-40% of the popped kernels to be in the bowl, 30%-40% poped kernels to be within 1.5 metres of the machine, and the rest of the unpopped kernels either in the bowl or scattered around the machine, amongst the other popcorn debris. Although not quiet, the machine is not overly noisy. However after 5 uses (total: less than 15 minutes) it is already showing signs of wear.

Flawed design – This popcorn maker lacks any lip or directional spout for the popcorn, so instead of sending the popcorn into a bowl, the popcorn goes all over the kitchen. The machine lacks sticky feet, so when it works, it self-rotates, making the above popcorn spray problem even worse.  Show details

Blew the fuse on my circuit board – Whilst the kids had fun using it and the popcorn it created was palatable (although my kids decided they didn't like it), the product itself blew a fuse on my circuit board and so I deemed it unsafe and returned it. Show details
