Presto 04863 Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper - Built-In Measuring Cup + Melts Butter, Easy to Clean, Built-In Cord Wrap, 18 Cups, Red

I was surprised at how quickly this popper pops 9 cups of fresh popcorn right into a bowl! It works as advertised and couldn't be easier to use. Now that I'm restricted from salt this is how I can consume excellent popcorn and add my own non-salt toppings. I didn't mind paying a bit more for the version with an on/off switch and a metal measuring cup. It's likely easier to avoid a bent or melted measuring cup than to replace it down the road. Highly recommended!

So easy to use! Why did I wait so long to purchase an air popper? I used microwave popcorn for years. After getting this air popper, I threw out all remaining microwave popcorn bags and will not go back. The popcorn taste much better, fresher. The butter melt cup on top works great to put the butter on the popcorn. Super easy to clean and does not take up much space on our counter. Highly recommend.

Basic and functional. Doesn't take up a lot of space and pops a large bowl of popcorn (see photo). Pops almost all of the corn kernels, is easy to clean, sleek design, pops corn in a few minutes. I haven't used the butter melt cup on top and probably won't. It doesn't have an on/off switch so you have to plug it in and unplug each time, which I found odd, but maybe that's typical for corn poppers? The top DOES get hot, so let it cool before removing.

Popping Popcorn is easy and Presto has made it Perfect. Has 1-2 kernels that doesn't get popped per 1/2 cup, never burns popcorn and doesn't require oils to pop. Be prepared to be amazed how much popcorn will be made with only a 1/2 cup of kernels, use at least a 3.7 liter bowl to 4 liter bowl that is about 16.9 cups or about a gallon container. I used real butter melted in the microwave and salt to flavor the popcorn in the bowl, never put the butter in the air popper. I would paid extra money for a Stainless Steel model if Presto made them. Quality is first rate and much better tasting than the microwave popcorn. Doesn't have a switch to turn it on and off, which I would prefer, no chemical smells come from the unit at all, very happy with this purchase.

Just bought the Presto Poplite Plus (solid Aqua with the power button) and have used it twice so far. Works great. Pour in the butter/scoop full as instructed then turn the machine on. Pops popcorn and there are maybe a dozen un-popped kernels at most. I’ve only had 2 un-popped kernels come out of the machine and into the bowl in the 2 full batches I’ve made. No burnt popcorn, pops popcorn in a few minutes, doesn't require oil, easy to clean, compact size, is loads of fun to watch! I highly recommend. So much better than the microwave popcorn bags The plastic cover and butter melter do get quite warm so I can see how people would be melting the cover and butter dish if they preheat the machine or run it consecutively and don’t give the machine time to cool down between batches.

This air popper is my first and it has exceeded my expectations by far. Its reliable, pops all the kernels and you hardly have to clean. Worth every penny.

Edit at the bottom. It pops popcorn. If that’s all you need then it’s okay. My two star for this is because of the inconveniences and hassles. The minor one is how the measuring cup/machine needs have to have a certain amount of kernels when popping, otherwise the kernels get blown out of the spout. You can’t do a small batch if you wanted to. The machine either needs to have a less powerful fan or have a taller heating tube so the kernels don’t rise so high when popping that they fly out. Once popped then they are light and big enough to catch air to escape. Which would make sense. But, why have a machine that makes a mess and ends up with too many kernels in the serving bowl at the bottom. Wasteful My other issue is the measuring cup itself. This issue deserves a 1 star. The measuring cup doubles as a spot to melt butter, very cool and neat. The butter should be room temp when doing it, not refrigerated. However, my issue with this is that the hot air flows past the measuring cup handle. The cup does not seal against the clear cover and so the handle of the cup will get extremely hot. I find this wrong and somewhat of a dumb design. I’m sure there is an explanation for this from the company as to why it is that way, but it is a hazard nonetheless. If the reason is so you leave it alone til it cools, leaving time for the butter to melt, it isn’t in the instructions. Burning my fingers while using the product as it was intended is not okay. I know first world problems. But don’t get this machine, it’s messy enough and slightly dangerous that it’s not worth the trouble. They reinvented the wheel here and decided to add the feature of burning you while they were at it. Edit: I changed my rating to a three, it was two. The reason for the change is because I am using it differently enough for it to work better. In the beginning of a “popcorn cook” I will leave the butter melter top off and place the top back on once about 4-8 kernels has popped. That way it doesn’t shoot the kernels out as much. At the end of the cook you will need to either try the lid off again or have a towel in front to reduce the airflow in order for the kernels not to fly out. And also, don’t use it to melt butter, it’s still not a smart idea. You’ll burn you fingers. This advice here is in no way a recommendation, it’s just what I’ve had to do in order to not have so many kernels in the popcorn bowl. This advice is also most likely against the manufacturers guidance and recommendations. Do not take my statements as advice.

We used to make our own popcorn but needed to make it healthier. This unit makes the popcorn really fast and tastes great. Less Kernels too! Air Poppers have come a long way over the years. Get this one, great popper , good quality unit and tghe popcorn is really great!

Awesome popcorn popper. Works as described. Popcorn some times gets stuff once they really get popping which requires you to unclog the popcorn to prevent burning.

Tener en cuenta que se necesita un recipiente con la suficiente capacidad para recibir las palomitas. Me gustó que todos los granos se cocinan y las palomitas salen bastante infladas.

Product Is Good But, For India Power Supply Volt Should Be 230 Volt. And This Product is Having 110 Volt. This Is Reason Which I Felt Sorry After Purchasing This Product.

Aufpassen !!!!! Ich hatte diese Maschine gekauft für den gebrauch in Deutschland ! Das klappt nicht auch nicht mit einem Adapter !!! Um diese Maschine nutzen zu können braucht man einen Konverter der die Voltzahl runterregelt !!! Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und kann diese Maschine keinem empfehlen der nur deutsche Netzteile verwenden kann !!! Ursprünglich wollte ich diese Maschine zurückschicken lassen aber es hätte mich weitere 21€ gekostet.....!!! Absolute frechheit sowas für Deutschland anzubieten und dann noch nicht einmal einen passenden Konverter mit beizulegen !!!!! Absolut KEINE kaufempfehlung meinerseits !!!!!

Its 110V not 220, so its not for UAE market, otherwise its good quality
