Title: Healthy, Delicious Popcorn in Minutes!
Review: The Presto Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. If you're a popcorn lover like me, this is a must-have. It pops 18 cups of popcorn in just a few minutes without the need for oil, making it a healthier alternative to microwave popcorn or stovetop popping.One of the things I love most about this popper is how easy it is to use. Just plug it in, pour in the kernels, and within a couple of minutes, you have a big bowl of fluffy popcorn. It’s fun to watch, and the popcorn is perfectly light and crunchy every time. Plus, the fact that it doesn’t require oil makes cleanup a breeze!The included measuring cup doubles as a butter melter, so if you’re craving a little indulgence, you can melt some butter while your popcorn is popping. The design is simple but effective, and the yellow color adds a fun, retro vibe to my kitchen counter.A small downside is that it can shoot out a few unpopped kernels along with the popcorn, but it’s a minor issue considering how well it performs overall. Just make sure to have a big enough bowl to catch everything!If you're looking for a quick, easy, and healthier way to enjoy popcorn, the Presto Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper is an excellent choice. It's become a staple in my household for movie nights and snacks. Highly recommend!

Title: Extremely quick, no clean-up, and rarely any flopcorn
Review: This popper is amazingly reliable. My 1st unit lasted 15 years (and was going strong when I gave it to a friend) and my 2nd unit just died tonight after 20+ years and it probably would've kept going except I accidentally over-loaded it. 🙁 Note that this popper works just as well at 20 years old as it did when brand new. Now THAT is a good design.This popper is fast, extremely fast. Even my 20-yr old unit finished a batch in less than 3 minutes. Seriously, I suggest getting your flavorings ready before turning the unit on.If you fill the popcorn exactly to the line inside the popper, you get a perfect batch every time. You can use less kernels, but you get a few unpopped ones flying into your bowl. Tilting the machine back just a tad will also eliminate unpopped "flyers" if you use less than a full batch. You can even put in a little extra, barely covering the inside measuring line from side, but you'll have to jiggle the popper (e.g. tap it briskly a couple times) to get the kernels swirling. You see, the hot-air blower inside the unit swirls the popcorn, heating them evenly and quickly. If the kernels don't move, the bottom ones will start to burn and the machine will auto-shutoff. (And it stinks to the high heavens!)The popper works so well, don't bother using expensive popcorn. My favorite is Jolly Time which is cheap in the large bags (approx. 2 lbs). The Kroger store-brand of popcorn even works well, and it's dirt-cheap...a real blessing if you eat as much popcorn as I do. 😀 If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, their popcorn actually cooks with the fewest flopcorn* of them all, even if comparing to the hideously over-priced Orville Redenbocker popcorn.The machine never needs cleaning, either. When done, just tip it so any flopcorn (if any) pours into the waste basket. That's it. It's now ready for another batch. Now, if you try heating butter in the little cup that rests in the top of the unit's cover, THEN you'll have a bit of cleanup...but only that cup. (It's fine in the dishwasher, by the way.) I never use the cup because the unit finishes a batch of popcorn so fast, the butter never has enough time to melt! (And that's true even if you have your butter at room temperature.) Basically, if you want hot butter to pour onto your cooked popcorn, heat it in the microwave while your popcorn's popping. (You'll be much happier.)Tips.1. Use cheap popcorn as it cooks just as well as over-priced "gourmet" popcorn like the Orville Redenbocker brand.2. If you like salt, use powdered salt. Morton makes popcorn salt which works well, but you can also powderize your own with a good blender, food processor, or a good spice mill.3. To get salt or other sprinkled flavorings to stick to your popcorn, give short bursts of cooking spray onto your popcorn and quickly sprinkle a bit of flavoring onto it before it soaks into the popcorn. If you like a LOT of flavoring, spray a bit more and sprinkle faster and longer. :D4. Johnny's makes a great popcorn salt and a little goes a long ways. Regular powdered salt is cheaper and is just as good in my opinion (but my wife swears by it, hehe).5. For best results (i.e. the least amount of flopcorn), fill the unit just enough with popcorn so the fine line internal measuring line inside the heating chamber is covered. Tilt the machine back just a little (e.g. place a pencil, butter knife, or other .5" item) underneath the front of the popper's base until enough popped corn has filled the popping chamber; this keeps uncooked popcorn from flying out.6. If you put in just a little more popcorn so the internal measuring line is covered by 1 or 2 layers of kernels (AND jiggle the unit to make sure it starts swirling), you'll not only get a slightly larger batch of popcorn, but you won't have any unpopped popcorn flying out, even without tilting the unit.Note: The machine is a tad noisy when running. It's not really loud, just a little annoying. It's not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it. For comparison, it's about as loud as a hairdryer on its lowest setting. It's maybe as loud as the fan on a microwave.Also note: Hot-air popped popcorn is dry. I mean dry. Really dry. Popcorn, in general, is dry, but popping it without oil/butter/etc. makes it as dry as dry can be, maybe drier. 😉 If you put flavorings on it, you'll never never notice it, though. I thought hot-air neophytes might find this curious, though, maybe even a bit surprising. (I actually like it better.)* Flopcorn: The unpopped kernels remaining after popping a batch of popcorn.

Title: No on/off switch, but works great
Review: So far this popper has been working great. It's quick and easy to use. It's a bit loud, but nothing too bad. It does spit out a few kernels into the bowl just after you start it, but I think most air poppers do that. It cooks all the kernels quickly, leaving just a couple unpopped. The main thing I don't like is that it does not have an on/off switch. It turns on when you plug it in. Other than that, I am happy with my purchase.

Title: Fantastic, Easy Popcorn Popper
Review: Buy the a 3 Prong Grounded Single Port Power Adapter for Outlet with Indicator Lighted On/Off Switch (I bought it on Amazon too) and you'll have a super, easy-to-use, easy to clean popcorn popper. For many years I had a great, hard plastic microwave popcorn popper until someone overfilled and melted it. I couldn't find a similar one online and hesitated to get this one thinking it might take up too much space. It has a small footprint and a cord winder on it that keeps it compact in a cupboard. It works great with a deep bowl. I melt butter in a separate microwave bowl and add it later to the popped corn. You won't regret buying this, but get the on/off switch as it feels hazardous to use without it. It's so easy to use and clean.
