Compact and designed for easy storage, this red countertop machine is ideal for family movie nights, parties, and snack time. ## Description West Bend has been a leader in developing electric kitchen appliances since being founded in West Bend, Wisconsin in 1911. Providing unmatched performance, quality and value to consumers has always been at the heart of everything we do. Popcorn is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy snack time. You can eat it plain for a healthier snack or indulge with butter and seasonings. It can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. It is the perfect addition to any dinner party, backyard BBQ or winter's night in front of the fire. The Stir Crazy No.82505, 6-Quart Popcorn Popper by West Bend is America's favorite popcorn popper. It measures 13" W x 10" L x 10" H and is constructed of durable and BPA free plastic housing. The Stir Crazy uses a triple-layer heating plate which increases performance and insulates the body of the popper to fully pop up to 6.75-quarts of popcorn in about 4 minutes. Features of the Stir Crazy popcorn popper include the clear cover which not only allows you to see the popcorn pop, but also transforms into a family-sized serving bowl when popping is complete. Atop the cover is a butter well- butter placed in the butter well will melt from the heat of the popper and drizzle onto the popcorn as it pops. When popping has finished, simply snap the butter lid over the butter well, flip the machine upside down and the cover is now a serving bowl for your snack. The easy-to-read ON/OFF button of the Stir Crazy activates the heating surface and rotation of the stirring rods. The stirring rods keep the corn moving to pop all of the kernels. The compact surface and steep side walls of the heating plate keep kernels centered and yield greater popping efficiency. When finished, the non-stick heating surface is easy to clean and the dual-purpose cover and serving bowl is top-rack dishwasher safe. The permanently attached cord wraps underneath the base and the base nests neatly inside the cover making for a compact, no-tangle storage when not in use.Note: Please unplug the machine and flip it over when it’s done popping the popcorn Review: Fantastic! The Search Is Over. - In 2010 I purchased a used hot air popcorn popper for $2.00 bucks at a thrift store. It was probably from the 1980's and it worked faithfully until a couple months ago. But it finally died, so I went on desertcart to search for the same style popper, the kind you put the bowl under with a vented hood that shoots it toward the bowl, ideally. But man, the reviews made me feel so discouraged. I ignored the reviews that said they shoot popcorn all over the place because I already knew that to be an issue with my old one, and to be honest, it really wasn't a big deal for me (just a few strays here and there that my dog grabbed up). But what DID concern me was all the reviews saying the tops were melting, and pictures of them with melted tops. And different brands too, not just one. I read dozens of reviews and even when I begrudgingly increased the price range, they still had lousy reviews about melting tops. So I started looking at other options... Enter this style of popper. I compared a bunch of brands for these types since I've never used this kind of popper. Eventually I resorted to watching Youtube videos (I take my popcorn very seriously, LOL) and was finally sold on this style, brand and model after watching a guy demonstrate and test several types of poppers. I am extremely pleased with it and have ZERO complaints! First and foremost: It pops ALL the kernels, literally EVERY SINGLE KERNEL! It doesn't get more impressive than that. The very first use I got nervous and shut it off a few seconds too soon and had about 10 or so kernels left, but once I realized I can wait until it all stops without it burning, I haven't had a single unpopped piece since! Because the bar constantly moves it around, you can listen and make sure it's completely stopped without it burning. I don't use the included top/bowl to eat it from, I dump it into my own bowl of choice instead, it's just my preference. My own bowl is a little wider so I can toss it around with oil and salt that way. It was hard to visualize the amount of popcorn described in the description, but I was pleased to discover it pops exactly the amount I have always popped, which is a BIG family-sized bowl full (which I eat all myself because I'm single and that's how I roll). As far as oil, I'm not used to using oil since my old popper was just a dry air popper. What I would always do is drizzle the oil and salt after popping it. So I initially used olive oil (which is what I drizzle on it anyway) but then decided to experiment with coconut oil because it has a higher smoke point and the healthy properties of coconut oil can withstand the heat of the unit. That was even better, it's fantastic with coconut oil and tastes more like theater popcorn. I still drizzle olive oil and salt on it afterward however, because the coconut oil serves the purpose of coating the kernels, but it doesn't really give it the buttery feel after it's popped. But that's fine with me because I'm so pleased with how well it works that I'm willing to use oil with the kernels now. It all comes out fluffy and perfect, NO BURNED pieces ever, so far. You can put the unit inside the bowl to store it, but I prefer to keep the bowl on top to keep dust out. The cord easily wraps around underneath the bottom, which is something that annoyed me about my old popper, which had no way to store the cord. I also like having an off/on switch too, as opposed to just yanking the cord out of the wall while it's running like many of the upright air poppers will have you do. It takes a couple of minutes for the kernels to heat up but then it pops incredibly fast and the whole batch is done in the blink of an eye, it's pretty wild. I wondered if it would be awkward to lift and flip the unit to dump it in the bowl but it's not, it's lightweight and easy. ONE IMPORTANT THING: I almost didn't buy this because even this style of popper has some pictures of the top piece melted. This surprised me until I watched the videos on this page and did a few face-palms. Watch them for yourself and you'll see they leave the red piece on the lid while it's popping. I couldn't believe how any videos show people doing this. The vents in the clear bowl/lid are there so that it VENTS while popping! The smaller red lid is included to put on AFTER you shut it off. It's simply to keep small pieces from falling out once you flip it over. Keep it off while it's popping, of course it's going to melt if you keep blocking the vent holes, good grief! Makes me wonder what people were doing with the other kinds of air poppers to make those ones melt, maybe covering them with sweaters?? But I'm content to never know. When reading reviews, keep in mind that a lot of people have only ever used microwave popcorn. Some of the reviews about flavor and whatnot make me think these people are simply used to microwave junk and so it's probably no reflection on this popper. That, and people blocking the vents with the red lid and then complaining that it smells like plastic. Sigh. Like I said, I have no complaints whatsoever and am glad I decided to try this type of popper. Easy, perfect results and kinda fun to use. Review: A great addition to the kitchen! - Previous to this corn popper we had been using microwave popcorn for years. We used to use a pot on the stove, but with the new glass tops the stoves are not at all friendly to use by shaking back and forth. Now back to our love of popcorn! This West Bend product is excellent, low cost, and makes the best popcorn we have had in a long time. One of the things about the Microwave popcorn that is bad, you never can get the right timing so that there are times when you burn the stuff in the back. Also, when opening up the bag, steam is your enemy, it seems to scald you most of the time. West Bend has designed this Stir Crazy Popper so that you can watch it pop in about 4 or less minutes. 1/2 cup provides about 2 bowls of popcorn per couple or 4 bowls total. 3/4 cup provides 6 or so bowls. We love the fact that there are very few kernels that do not pop. Instruction are given for both regular popcorn or premium, we like the premium which really does not cost that much more. Using the flavored oils is what we tried and they worked very well. We felt that the use of butter was out of our diet range. Salt is optional, but we used a little sea salt to enhance the flavor. Clean up is very easy! Take the top and wash it with some dish washing soap and wipe dry with paper towel. Since you cannot put the bottom part of the unit in the water, use a paper towel to wipe it out. Dampening the towel really helps, we thought that the idea of soap there was not necessary. The red cap on top must be removed before popping so that the steam will escape. Then, you turn over the whole unit so that with the top back in place you can use the cover as your bowl for serving. We highly recommend this popper to you lovers of popcorn when watching a movie on TV! ## Features - Popcorn Popper Machine: Make enough popcorn to treat the entire family from the comfort of home; This popcorn machine makes up to 6 quarts of popcorn in minutes - Convenient Features: This countertop popcorn machine features heat-resistant handles and a clear vented cover with a butter cap that doubles as a 6-quart popcorn bowl - Premium Performance: This tabletop popcorn machine comes equipped with a motorized stirring rod that produces larger kernels and more pops per batch; Automatic reversal function prevents kernels from getting stuck - Easy To Clean and Use: Nonstick coated popping plate wipes clean easily - Simple Storage: Nesting design allows for storage in most any space and includes a built-in no-tangle cord wrap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KL8SM92 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,771 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #6 in Popcorn Poppers | | Brand | West Bend | | Brand Name | West Bend | | Capacity | 6 quarts | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 20,002 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072244825053 | | Included Components | Clear Cover, West Bend 82505 Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10"L x 13"W x 10"H | | Item Type Name | Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties | | Item Weight | 4.4 pounds | | Manufacturer | The Legacy Companies USA | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 82505 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 82505 | | Product Dimensions | 10"L x 13"W x 10"H | | Special Feature | Popcorn | | Special Features | Popcorn | | UPC | 072244825053 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** West Bend - **Capacity:** 6 quarts - **Color:** Red - **Material:** Plastic - **Special Feature:** Popcorn ## Images ![West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QoDHRrSuL.jpg) ![West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81brUCFOVkL.jpg) ![West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81de7nB4B-L.jpg) ![West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LsGkm81KL.jpg) ![West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81svZMAQRiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it have gluten free mode?** A: Download the Norton Anti-Gluten app from either the Apple Store or Google Play. It plugs into the USB3.0 port at the base of the popper. The free version is pretty good, but if your allergies are severe go for the gold edition, the extras $99 is worth every penny. Google had a deluxe 20th anniversary edition that includes and EpiPen but I don't think its still available. **Q: Does popping corn in this make the popcorn moist or soggy or is it dry like in the carnival style machines?** A: I am looking for a new machine, ours just burned out on us Friday night - after it did its chore for us and the grand kids (7 and 9). We have always used about 1/4 cup of oil (redenbacker popcorn oil if we can find it - or - Veggie oil mixed with some butter). About 1/2 cup of Redenbacker or another cauliflower (premium carnival and movie theater popping corn) popcorn. We DO NOT use the butter cap on the top of the vent. Let it vent out the moisture and stuff. Don't clog up those vent holes with butter. We use the microwave to melt and pour on additional butter. I have never - since I first started using this popper in the 80's -- never had soggy or moist popcorn. I was in the service - my job entailed working in a room with no windows and 13 or 15 of us at a time. We popped using this tool for 1/2 of my 20 years. Thru 2 wars/actions - and a couple times per 12 hour shift. Fast and easy and easy clean up. Since the 80's ... this is my second machine - getting ready for my third. DON'T use the cap on it and don't use the butter melting suggestions - the popcorn will be done before the butter is melted. **Q: how many watts is it? What's the power draw?** A: 900 - 1000 watts 120 volt electric to power the popper. **Q: Is there a lip around the edge that prevents the oil on the cover from dripping back in or does it get recycled by going back down into the base?** A: There is no lip on the inside of the cover. The cover sets inside of a lip in the base that prevents oil from escaping and making a mess. I've used my popper several times now, it's works great and no mess. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic!

Popcorn is really the only thing I miss about that. I finally gave in and started looking for a popcorn maker and the Stir Crazy had some good reviews. My husband had one as a kid, too, so it was familiar to him. One of the big selling points for me is that it has an on-off switch. That might sound odd but the air popper I had as a kid did NOT and you just yanked the plug out of the wall, an action accompanied by sparks. This is way safer. What we do is put 1 1/2 tbl of butter flavored popcorn popping oil and 1 tsp of flavacol (a flavored popcorn salt) in the bottom of the machine, then 1/2 a cup of popcorn. Then the cover goes on (MINUS the lid that snaps on over the butter well!!! leave that off). Then we switch on the machine and wait. I don't use the butter well because the butter doesn't seem to melt that well, or drain through the holes that well - a lot of them have raised rims which prevents butter from dripping easily in. Once the popcorn is done popping we turn it off and snap the lid on over the butter well. This can be hard to snap into place. Then unplug the machine, hold both sides of the handles, and flip the whole thing over and give it a shake. That's it. My husband likes to eat out of the cover, I dump the popcorn into a bowl. The cover can feel really greasy, even after a washing. I wash it in VERY hot water with a lot of soap and let it air dry - it feels like the kind of plastic that will warp in a dish washer, even in the top rack. We wipe out the base plate very carefully, wash the metal arm and the plastic screw top. My one issue with the ease of wash is that it's not super easy to clean the base with hot soapy water. Basically I wipe out as much salty oil as possible, then give it a wipe with a well-squeezed sponge and then rinse it, then wipe it again. But I worry about leaving soapy residue. It hasn't been a problem so far, at least. We're no longer buying bags of popcorn at the store, and have cut back on buying chips and crackers as well. It's only been about a month and this has already paid for itself due to that alone. I wish we'd gotten one sooner. ## Frequently Bought Together - West Bend Stir Crazy Hot Oil Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Large Serving Bowl Lid and Stirring Rod Perfect for Movie Night Snack Time or Parties, 6-Quart, Red - Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, Original Yellow, 8 lb. - Concession Essentials Flavacol Popcorn Season Salt, 1ct-35oz Carton --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/2640400-west-bend-stir-crazy-hot-oil-popcorn-popper-popcorn-maker](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/2640400-west-bend-stir-crazy-hot-oil-popcorn-popper-popcorn-maker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
