## Description

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.

Review: This popcorn machine pops super fast! less than 30 seconds. Warning that the plastic top does get very hot and can melt. Ours unfortunately melted inward and bubbled a bit when it was left unattended and still running, so the heat got too hot. But honestly a great popcorn machine and you get popcorn super fast.
Review: works great. I see other reviews that say it's loud -- I don't find it loud at all. Also reviews say the popcorn flies outside of the bowl -- didn't happen for me it goes right into the bowl. Its perfect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I roast coffee beans in it**
A: The ideal popper for roasting coffee, it seems, is higher wattage and circular vents. It seems to be difficult to find both features in any current model. This model has higher wattage but blows straight upward through a central vent. Despite that, many people report that it works fairly well as a roaster. Myself, I have a 1200 watt model with circular vents. I have had fantastic results with it. Don't listen to people who say you can't get good results unless you have 1350 watts or more - it's not true. I never roast darker than full city. If you like a really dark roast with oils coming to the surface then a lower wattage model might struggle with that and this model might be better for you. For most everyone else I would really recommend a circular popper for better results.

**Q: Is it BPA free**
A: I'm not sure about the plastic chute, but the inside of the container is metal. This is where the heating occurs and popcorn is placed. I'm assuming that the only area that is plastic and may contain BPA is the plastic top, but the popcorn only touches it for a brief second as it descends the chute into your bowl. I'm sure there is very little exposure to BPA if the plastic even contains it. Since I only use it for roasting coffee beans and the beans roast inside the metal interior I don't concern myself very much about the BPA in the plastic if any.For further information you can Email Presto at www.GoPresto.com or call them at 1-800-877-0441 weekdays 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Central Time).

**Q: Is this made in China or USA**
A: Currently, there are six for sale on Ebay which were made in the USA, including the same model I use (still) to make great popcorn, which I bought in 1996; made in Eau Claire, WI by Presto Industries. Ah...the good ol' days, when we kept manufacturing here, before NAFTA and "China, Most Favored Nation Status" took hold. Ugh.

**Q: I am limited for counter space.  How tall is this machine and approximately what is the diameter of the base?**
A: With the cover on, it is 14" high. The diameter is 6.5".  It you take the cover off and store it in a cabinet, the height is 9.5".

*by J***5 on 5 February 2026*

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.
