Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Popcorn Popper

The Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper works great and makes fresh popcorn quickly and efficiently. It's surprisingly quieter than other popcorn poppers I've used, which is a nice bonus, especially when making snacks for the family. The popcorn comes out light and fluffy, and cleanup is simple since no oil is required. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an on/off switch—you have to plug it in and unplug it to operate it. It's not a dealbreaker, but it would definitely make the machine more convenient to use. The kernals were popped and not burned. The machine is average size. The plastic parts seem thick and durable This is a reliable and easy-to-use popcorn popper that delivers great results. Highly recommended for popcorn lovers!

**★★★★★ Great Popcorn Without Taking Up Much Space** I've been very happy with this popcorn popper. It makes delicious popcorn quickly, and the hot air method means I can enjoy a healthier snack without using oil. One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn't take up much space on my counter or in the cabinet. It's compact, easy to use, and easy to clean after each batch. The built in butter melting cup is a nice bonus if you want a little extra flavor. If you're looking for a simple, reliable popcorn popper that doesn't require a lot of storage space, this is a great choice.

Works great. Replacement for my old presto from the 80’s

If you appreciate a crunchy snack like potato chips without all the oil (fat), this is a must-have. You can make up to 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels at a time so you can make it once, have a small bowl, and have more for 2 or 3 more snacks. If you want it with melted butter, it comes with a cup that sits on the top and melts the butter while the popping is happening. While there is no pre-heat function, plugging it in once you've put in the kernels, starts this unit heating up fast, which in turn starts popping quickly. When you're done popping, use caution when touching the spout or butter cup, as they get very hot, so use a potholder or glove. Anyway, the popcorn comes out nice and fluffy and warm. The unit is easy to clean as the spout lifts off so you can easily empty out the very few unpopped kernels and wipe out the heating unit. It takes up very little counterspace if you don't have the cabinet space for it. The cord wraps around the back of the unit when you're not using it. I've been using this unit every 3-4 days for a few months now, and it hasn't skipped a beat. Works like a charm every time, and shows no sign of not continuing. So, it seems like a very durable popper. As a bonus, the yellow color adds a nice touch that matches my yellow and black kitchen color scheme. If you're considering a hot air popper, buy this!

Poplite hot air popcorn popper is a fantastic product. It pops nearly all the kennels. Very fast popping, good price, easy to clean, delivered in a timely manner.

This popcorn popper is quick and easy to use, and it honestly feels faster than using the microwave for me. It starts popping almost right away and finishes a full batch in just a few minutes. I also like that I can control exactly what goes into it. Since it uses hot air, I can decide what I want to add afterward instead of dealing with prepackaged microwave bags. It makes it easier to keep things simple or adjust flavors the way I want. The popcorn itself comes out light and fluffy, not greasy, which I prefer. The built-in measuring cup helps keep portions consistent, and the butter melting feature is a nice option when I want a little extra flavor. One thing to be careful about is that the top lid and surrounding area get very hot during use, so I make sure not to touch it while it’s running or after until it has cooled. Overall, it’s a fast, convenient way to make popcorn at home, and I like having more control over what goes into it compared to microwave options.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe Presto was one of the first companies that came out with the hot air popcorn popper back when I was in my early 20s. Now, at 60 years old I just ordered another one. It works fantastic just as the one I had many decades ago. I like the design but more than that I made sure to buy the correct size (either measured by court or cup of popped corn) and nailed it perfectly! This popcorn popper popped all of the corn that you see in the bowl except for two kernels. I ordered this because was sick and tired for paying an arm and a leg for, massively fake, and fattening prepackaged, buttered popcorn. With my brand new Presto poplite I get to choose whether I want butter on my popcorn or use a cooking spray (less fattening 😉) and add popcorn seasoning, etc. I LOVE popcorn and had been eating a bag of microwaveable popcorn every single night until I had remembered that several decades ago they made hot air poppers. Yes, it took me that long to remember, but at least I did. I ordered one from Amazon and got it the next day. I could not be happier! I purchased the 18 cup Presto Poplite model. Also, keep in mind, that yellow kernels pop bigger than white popcorn kernels.

This hot air popcorn maker is a game changer! You can make healthy, great tasting popcorn with no oil or butter. It’s compact, nice looking, easy to use & clean, and quickly pops a large bowl from the measuring scoop that’s included. There’s no need to make microwave popcorn or traditional high caloric, high fat popcorn ever again if you have one of these nifty popcorn makers.

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.

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

Compré esta máquina de palomitas y, sinceramente, no puedo recomendarla. 1. No tiene botón de encendido/apagado. Hay que conectarla y desconectarla directamente de la corriente, lo cual es muy incómodo. Alternativamente, hay que usar un adaptador con interruptor. Esto me parece inaceptable para un electrodoméstico. 2. La tapa superior es inestable y constantemente se mueve o se cae, lo que también resulta bastante molesto durante el uso. 3. En cuanto al resultado, no puedo decir que haga palomitas especialmente buenas. En mi experiencia, no hay una diferencia significativa frente a las que se hacen en microondas. Es la primera vez que utilizo una máquina de este tipo, así que no sé si esto es común en esta categoría. Sin embargo, según mi experiencia personal, no quedé satisfecho y no la recomendaría.
