Looking at them, I like how the bowl is integrated, but do you need to use oil with them? Does clarified butter burn with them? (I see many have butter melting areas, but melted butter isn't what you put on popcorn, you need clarified butter if you don't want it soggy. Plus adding oil to pop then butter on top of that seems like too much). Lastly it looks like they need cleaning after each use, unlike air poppers, is that right?

Yep. The bowl and stir pan cleanup quick and are dishwasher safe. I use coconut oil because I found out that is what Movie Theaters use and I wanted to get that original taste. But you can use whatever oil you prefer. The butter added from the top melts slow enough it doesn't cause any sogginess in my experience. If you're health conscience and don't want to use any oil or butter then stick with an air popper.
