Pops with hot air, not oil, for a low-fat, heart-healthy treat! The PopLite® Plus hot air popper’s patent pending design provides enhanced performance. In test after test, the PopLite® Plus outpopped other leading hot air poppers making more popped corn with virtually no unpopped kernels. It pops up to 18 cups of gourmet corn in about 2 1/2 minutes, even faster than a microwave! The chute directs popcorn into your bowl so you can make batch after batch of all natural, delicious popcorn. Hot air popcorn is whole grain, a good source of fiber, and it’s faster, healthier, and more economical than most microwave bag popcorn. The popper is simple to operate with a push-button on/off switch. The built-in measuring cup/butter melter is close at hand when measuring corn for popping and features a metal insert for increased melting efficiency when used as a butter melter. Cleanup is a breeze because it pops without oil. Simply wipe the base and cover clean. The integrated cord wrap design provides convenient storage.

Title: A miracle
Review: You guys. This thing is incredible. The cup it provides makes two fairly sizable bowls of popcorn. And the kids are mesmerized by it - they love watching it!Get the PopLite Plus with the *on/off switch*...I mean, they should all really have this in 2024, not really a special feature in the digital age. Who wants to be yanking a cord out of the wall to turn it off?! Silly and probably bad for the cord. But I digress. I bought it "used" for $30 or so. It was in a box that had been opened and resealed but otherwise new. The cover does get really hot, and even when you turn it off you'll want to let it sit for a minute or so in case any late popping kernels decide to go for it. I would not recommend leaving it on past 2 or 2.5 minutes. You won't need more time than that and it does appear that other versions of this have melted their covers, probably people not watching it or leaving it on too long...Ive used it twice so far and I've had maybe a half dozen kernels that didn't pop each time, and my popcorn isn't particularly fresh - probably bought within the last year or so. The popcorn is delicious, it's fun, economical...a very cool product. If you are on the fence, get it!

Title: A Solid Performer
Review: This air popper is all that is claims to be. I am impressed with its ease of use and flawless performance. Basically, follow the supplied instructions (which are not difficult) and you get beautifully popped corn.The instructions will remind you that a few kernels might make it out into your bowl before the popping begins - and that is true. The instructions also tell you a few kernels might not pop - and that is also true. After 10 uses I average 2 kernels before and 4 after use. I find that very acceptable.The instructions are quite clear about using 1/2 cup of kernels and the handy butter melting top is conveniently also exactly 1/2 cup when you level it off. Use the lid as your guide and you cannot go wrong. I said it was simple and easy. ;-)I have no plans to use that top to melt butter as it would take too long. I use a small sauce pot to melt butter on the stove while the corn is popping. And speaking of popping, I have been using the white corn and it takes @ 1 minute 20 seconds for the popping to begin. It then takes about 1 additional minute for the kernels to complete the process and that fills a 6-quart mixing bowl. Butter and salt to taste and you have a good volume of a relatively healthy snack. I mean it is better than oil popped corn and any other fried chips.After 10 uses there has been no clean up needed. I think this is a worthwhile purchase. I can once again have a crunchy snack with little to no guilt. If you want to eat healthier, this can help.

Title: A Fresh Healthy Way To Make Popcorn
Review: Recently we have been eating microwave popcorn. The choices are limited. Plus it is made with preservatives and leaves an aftertaste. After doing some research I decided to buy the Presto Air Popper. Air popping is healthier than oil popping. It is very easy to use. Just fill the kernels in the top which serves as a measuring cup and a butter warmer. Pour into the machine. Place a bowl under the opening. Press the button and violas!!! You have fresh popcorn. The popper does spew out some kernels. It wasnât even filled that much. Of course some parts get hot like the clear plastic and the butter warming tray but that is expected. The popcorn is always fresh and fully popped. Best of all you can customize the popcorn to your liking. I use butter spray and avocado oil. Plus I bought popcorn seasonings. There are so many choices!! Having this machine takes a bland snack and makes it healthy and tasty.

Title: These work
Review: Air popped popcorn seems healthier than microwaved popcorn bags. But at times it is difficult to find air poppers. Some donât last long so I buy them & hoard them. This model is better than most recent models.

Title: Very efficient (but loud) popper
Review: This popper produces a ton of popcorn each time with very few unpopped kernels. You'll need a very large bowl! I highly recommend it. My only gripe is how loud it is. Maybe that's normal for this type of popper, I don't know, it's the first air popper I've used. I previously had a microwave popper and it always left a large number of kernels uncooked. So I bought this one and I'm happy I did.

Review: Works great, butter doesnât melt very well in cup though and it canât go in microwave (metal), so still have to use a different container to melt butter. Very good popcorn maker though.

Review: So far so good. Hardly any kernels left after popping. No issue yet, except the lid does get hot. Just one note I always tilt the popper back slightly, so the kernels don't pop out. When the kernels start to pop and build up I remove the tilt.

Review: Quickly pops kernels & very little waste. Important to only use the designated amount of kernels in the measurement/butter part so you donât have waste. Itâs best to use a very deep bucket to collect the popcorn otherwise it will fly out of a shallow container. We donât use the butter melter part because we use it for measuring the popcorn.

Review: I would have given it 5 stars, if it would not blow out some unpopped kernels, but but I think think all machines do that.Otherwise it does a great job. Not sure why it costs so much, tho.
