The popcorn setting on my microwave wields varying results each time. Sometimes it's burnt. Other times it needs a few more seconds. And sometimes it's perfect. It's the same brand/type of microwave popcorn, and I've tried to mitigate other factors.

The most consistent results I've gotten is with Orville Redenbacher's brand. It still varies some but not nearly as much and not in as many unpleasant ways as with other brands. However, Orville Redenbacher's brand makes a damn mess in your microwave if you like the strong butter flavor. I have to wipe the whole cavity down with wet paper towels every single time I make popcorn or it will get stuck on there and never come off.

I use 2 minutes full power and it comes out pretty much exactly the same every time.
I've recently decided to give the popcorn setting on my microwave a try. It usually takes about a minute forty for a bag to pop in my microwave. The popcorn setting is about the same. I don't have any problems with the bag sticking, and a bought one that's wide enough so the bag can turn freely. On occasion though,, the bags do leak out. And FYI, I typically buy Pop Secret movie theater style.
