New West Bend 82386 Kettle Krazy Popcorn Popper and Nut Roaster Product Review

West Bend 82386 Kettle Krazy Popcorn Popper and Nut Roaster

• Electric 6-quart (24-cup) popcorn popper and 3-cup nut roaster
• Motorized stir rod keeps kernels or nuts in constant motion
• Simple control knob; see-through lid doubles as a popcorn bowl
• Stay-cool handles; nonstick heating plate
• Measures approximately 12 by 15 by 9-1/2 inches

Ideal for anyone who loves to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch movies, this electric popper quickly pops up to 6-quarts of fresh, hot popcorn in minutes. The versatile appliance can also be used to make up to 3 cups of mall-kiosk-style glazed nuts or roasted nuts to serve to friends on poker night or when watching the big game. Simply turn the control knob from “off” to “popcorn” or “nuts”, depending on the task at hand. The unit’s motorized stir rod and nonstick temperature-controlled heating plate work together to keep the kernels or nuts in constant motion and evenly heated for thoroughly roasted nuts or perfectly popped popcorn (with very few unpopped kernels). Even more, the machine’s see-through lid doubles as a 6-quart (24-cup) popcorn bowl. Simply pop, flip, and serve. Extended stay-cool handles assist with flipping the base and lid when emptying popcorn into the bowl. With its sleek, curvy design, the popcorn popper and nut roaster measures approximately 12 by 15 by 9-1/2 inches.

It’s just a standard Sky decoder, none of this fancy Sky+ here. There is a HDD DVD recorder out of shot which does the same job albeit without quite as much convenience as Sky+.

wiring above receiver


Image by mikemol
Top two (copper) are 12ga rope-braided speaker wire. (Dayton SKRL-12-100 12) Pinned as a pair with 3/4" plastic cable staples, also picked up at Home Depot. They replaced some crappy 16ga I’d been feeding the front left and right channels, whose speakers consume up to 100W each. I was losing 30db across the 16ga; It’s a 50ft run.

The bottom two are RG-6, using F-type-to-RCA adapters on either end; They’re actually carrying headphone-level audio from the receiver to the subwoofer, whose internal amp has a built-in crossover. Once I get my receiver-side crossover set up, one will carry plain cable, while the other will carry LFE.

I did what I could to reduce cable strain.

The remaining crap isn’t my wiring; It’s phone, power and cable.

Top cable is HDMI, leading to the TV, pinned with 11mm round cable staples I picked up at Home Depot.

Hanging grayish cable is a plug for the light in the room. I’ve got it stapled, but I’d *really* like to be able replace the light and wire it in directly. At least I’ve got it stapled, so it’s not hanging down as far…
