Is there a whole in the top so that oil can be added as it is whirling?

No. there is no hole in the top. If there was a hole in the top, product would be discharged from it.

YES -- MINE DOES NOW! I am putting together a review with pictures. I made my own hole with gradually increasing drill bits and am using a mini funnel to pour in oil or melted butter or other ingredients you want to stream while the blades are still moving.

no hole in the top, once you put on the top cover on, it cant be removed until your done or it wont turn on. I use it every day works great for onions and garlic

Yes. It comes with a small plastic bottle which is to be filled with your oil, and placed at the bottom of the unit. It is a bear to reach beneath the unit (make sure it's empty of water...) and it's even worse to fill up this plastic bottle with your choice of oil, as the unit's bottle is small as is all essential oil bottles. We've been using the oil, after slowly dropping in the essential oil, and it does work fine. But what a headache!

There is, but it doesn't work well. It gets blockedby the bottom of the tub. Flipping it over is easier.

Yes you can but not alone. You would add the essential oil to a base oil. I believe there are recipes on line.

There is a line on the inside that indicates how much oil to put in it. So you never would fill it up all they way anyway.

Mine needed oil to be added. I would think that yours was test run and they forgot to remove the oil before shipping it.

There is a tray on the bottom that slides out. Put a few drops of your favorite oil in there.

Its not an oil problem its a design flaw. there is a review that tells how to repair it above. IF you dump it right after ever use there shouldn't be to much of a problem.

The lid/top screws off to expose a neat spring action spout to drizzle the oil. The spout does NOT screw off and is somehow a part of the bottle and cannot be removed for reuse.

Yes, the heating element is inside the main tub and is submerged in the oil when filled.

Barry, There is no removable container but its easy to pour out the oil. Just let it cool before doing so. It works well.

No but we have not found that to be a problem. We are currently putting a piece of reynolds wrap on the top so nothing gets in the oil.

Just a slight little squeeze gives you a small drop of oil. So, it doesn't just spill out all over the place and make a mess. It is controllable. Then I store it up rather than keeping it on it's side when not in use. I use it for classical guitar tuners.

Yes there is a crank on the top you turn when it starts popping. Don't have to turn it constantly. Works as well as whirlybird pop but looks better and is a better kettle being stainless rather than aluminum. Swear my husband uses it daily. Pops with olive oil very well

Mine did not. Although the opening was big enough for me to squirt castor oil into it from my flip top bottle, which is what I used mine for.

I don't think I would. There is no separate area for any additional oils and I would think the mechanism would get gummed up after a time. Just my opinion...

Oil is supplied with the fan. There's a oil fill plug on the top,remove the plug and fill.
