Is this the same as the other popper on AMAZION for $50?

Basically they are the same. After adjusting the cover of this one ($34.99) it works great, and cleans easily! If you buy a different one be sure to get one with screw-on brass gears like this one. The ones with pressed-on plastic gears may be doomed because of the heat. Also, you want to be able to unscrew the handle and stirring rod so you can clean them.

I bought this popper solely for roasting coffee beans but I could never get them darker than a medium roast, even if left to run beyond 15 minutes. At that point it becomes a fire hazard since popcorn poppers typically don't need to run that long to make popcorn. After just a few uses, I sold mine in a garage sale and I was lucky to find an old West Bend Poppery II at my local Goodwill store for $2.00. Same wattage but better built than this Toastess model. I also have an old Chefmate popper that I also found at a thrift shop for $3.00. It's the same 1200 watts but runs a bit hotter so roasts don't take as long to reach my desired depth.

I would recommend going to West Bend's website, I think maybe you can order parts from there, but it may be more cost effective to just by a new popper.

Not all of them. You can order one of the 'package' Whirley Poppers (such as 'movie lovers') that do come with samples. In all cases, you can send off for two packages of Movie Theater style popcorn kits for $5 shipping after you get your popper. Regardless, I can tell you this is a terrific product.

Sorry but I don't really have the answer to your question, you would need to check with the company maker of the product. I can only say that this West Bend Stir Crazy popcorn popper has been working very well and living up to its product description. Hope my answer is helpful too you.

It is not exactly the same shape (at the top) or size (3.3 oz versus 3.5 oz from WSP) but works the same and is just a good as the ones I previously bought from WholesaleSuppliesPlus.com. The price was a lot less from Amazon. If that remains true, I will buy any I need in the future from Amazon.

It's the exact same product. :) Edited to add: If you're not familiar with Amazon's Add-on Item program, here's a link to the details: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?pop-up=1&nodeId;=200876660

Lenny, the picture to the left is not the one I bought. Mine was a table top square type, I don't think they make them anymore. Anyway they changed to filters to a cost of $50 a pop so I finally got rid of it. Good luck and Oreck is a good name brand.

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.

I believe that you looked at pricing from two different distributors for the product. This is common. I would say that they are identical.

This was going to be my question. I don't want the hot air popper taste. And was looking to see if there was an alternative to the Presto one I have been using (which does a great job), where I don't have to purchase replacement disc thingys. :)

It's the same principle that's behind coupons. If a company can entice you to try their product they've got a chance on much "repeat business". It's worth it to them to subsidize the price. If you didn't already like popcorn you wouldn't be buying this popper. They're hoping you'll like their popcorn.

I am curious, too. The price is $13 more, for what seems like the identical product.

The popper I ordered came with a thin metal scoop but no salt shaker. Hope that helps.

The certainly look the same but I don't know which came first. What I do know is the Waring Pro ES1500 Pro is a piece of crap. It appears you don't get what you pay for with espresso/cappuccino machines. I have had a Krups that ruled over this thing, just wasn't as pretty. I still have it, still hate it.
