## 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: Voted Best Popcorn Machine!! - WoW! This is the best popcorn machine...ever. It's very easy to use. I followed the directions using fresh Orville Redenbacher's popcorn and popcorn oil. I did not use the butter well in the machine. I prefer to use real butter on popcorn that I melt in the mircowave and add later in a rather generous amount. I add a bit of Real Salt too. The machine quickly popped all of the corns and it was delicious. The machine was very easy to clean with having the non-stick surface. Washed the bowl by hand. I would not recommend washing in a dishwasher.
Review: Quality Product! - We received our first West Bend Sitr Crazy for a wedding gift - 38 years ago. Since then we have bought 2 more, the latest being the one I'm reviewing! I like the blue color of course and the shape of the popper. Bowl and bottom nest for easy storing. I don't get very many kernels of unpopped corn. Pops quite fast. Doesn't take much oil to pop a bowlful. I do wish the cord was removeable. It can get in the way when you turn the popper over. There is a place to wind the cord on the bottom, but I don't use it as it is resistant to go in the right direction! It is best to wear oven mitts when turning the bottom over to empty it into the top bowl as it can get quite hot. Price is relevant. West Bend still makes good quality poppers, and I wouldn't buy anything else!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE BEST!!
*by T***. on January 9, 2026*

My 15 year old Stir Crazy (purchased from Amazon in 2011) was retired after the plastic dome broke. Amazingly, the popper still worked great. West Bend has a new model and a replacement dome for the old one is not available. So I purchased the new 6 quart machine and it is fantastic! It turn's out perfect popcorn and there's a few added improvements also. The overall size is more compact (storage), the dome/bowl is stronger, the cap/cover fits better and is easier to get on and off. The cord is permanently attached and there's an on/off switch. I eat a full batch of Trader Joe's Organic popcorn by cooking it in EVOO. That's it! No salt or butter. Very healthy and delish. I enjoy 4 or 5 batches a week. I recommend this product to my friends and relatives.
