I love this popcorn maker! I keep it at work because I share it with my team. Whenever someone wants a snack I have this over at my desk and they can take it in the hall and make their own popcorn. It’s great to have on hand to prevent us from spending tons of money at the vending machines.
I hadn’t been able to enjoy popcorn for a while when I got my hands on this. I decided maybe it was the butter that the movies used that caused me to not be able to eat it. So I set it up with a large bowl and made some unbuttered popcorn. What do you know! I can enjoy popcorn again without any worries!!! It appears that I can eat it just not the butter. So now I can make some nice hot fresh popcorn and maybe add a dash of salt or whatever other toppings I want.
I will say you need something tall to use with this because the closer it gets to the bottom of the batch it kind of flies everywhere if you just use a regular bowl. It’s a little louder than I expected when I first plugged it in we quickly learned it was too loud to use at the desk.

PORTAL Gigabit Self-Optimizing Dual Band WiFi Router

Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
The PORTAL Gigabit Self-Optimizing Dual Band WiFi Router is ideal for every home! You will love this as much as I do!
I got the chance to review the PORTAL Gigabit Self-Optimizing Dual Band WiFi Router. I am excited to tell you about it here on Life of a Mad Typer.
My Thoughts about PORTAL Gigabit Self-Optimizing Dual Band WiFi Router:
I had been having internet issues for a few months. Nothing seemed to help and I went through multiple techs coming to my house and still no luck. I was paying for 110mbps and was only getting around 30mbps, and that was when it was actually working. So, I started to shop around and found a place that was $40 cheaper a month for what I was getting — I made the switch.
While the internet worked much more consistently and I was getting the speeds I was paying for, I noticed the WiFi just didn’t cover my house. If I was laying in bed I had to lay on a certain side to get a connection. If I was on the other side it wouldn’t work. Going into the kitchen, I lost WiFi, and you can’t forget about the basement or the attic.
So, when the portal arrived I ran into the computer room and hooked it up. I love how easy it was to set up! It comes with an app that you can use to edit the settings and detect it. Unlike so many other routers, you can set this baby up and modify it without a computer! I know what your thinking, “Why have WiFi if you don’t have a computer.” Nowadays people use the WiFi connection for their phones and tv and may not even own a computer! It’s not as unusual as you may think.
Anyways back to the setup,
I had this puppy set up and installed in under 10 mins. The only reason it took that long was the existing WiFi took a bit to download the app. I can tell you the portal has changed my life! While the router my internet service gave me wouldn’t be able to support streaming when I use my Blu-ray player without pausing every 2-3 mins, this one plays them without skipping a beat. I can get WiFi while in bed without having to lay in a weird position to stay connected. I can play YouTube videos while I’m in the kitchen, no problem at all! Not even the attic or basement is a problem anymore.
I also love how clean and futuristic it looks. It’s about the size of an iPad mini and sits conveniently on top of my computer tower.
So if you need a router that will make your internet experience better then I highly recommend checking out Portal on Amazon.
