But I LOVED the idea. Too bad the parts are so cheap. So we're back to just shaking it ourselves.

I don't mind shakin' it.

Hey, I had one of those for YEARS! Loved it. Maybe you just got a defective one? I should try to find another.

The gears on the image are made of metal, but the product now comes with plastic gears and the whole container is extremely thin. VERY bad. It still sort of works but the gears are all chewed up. Let's say it maybe did not have the smoothest operator, but I wouldn't blame him considering how cheaply it is made.

My gears were definitely metal. Too bad, it was a great popper.

I can smell the wood in that barn.

Grog, maybe you could find a used one on ebay with the original metal gears?
