Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper

Awesome popper

I bought this item for my girlfriend as she would often tell me how her parents had one when she was a child. I didn't even know what it was until I found it on Amazon. Long story short - she loves it! Talk about an inexpensive gift getting a huge response. It makes great popcorn in just a couple of minutes and we love the little butter melting dish that sits on top. I highly recommend this.

Quick and Easy

About three months ago, I decided to reform my eating and fitness habits. [I've lost about twenty-five pounds so far with another twenty-five or so to go.]I enjoy popcorn and decided that a hot-air popper would be a good choice for reducing the fat and the sodium in my diet. This one has worked well. It's easy to use and to clean up. I make about half the recommended amount for myself each time I use it -- 1/4 cup rather than 1/2 cup -- but it leaves relatively few kernels unpopped and it's quicker that the microwave popcorn I used to make.

It actually pops!

Product is simple to use and does exactly what it's supposed to do -- it pops corn without oil or waste. Would buy it again.

great!

i bought this for my boyfriend who loves pop corn. it works absolutly great! very easy to use, took us all about 3min to figure it out and was popping pop corn right out of the box! Tho it would be nice if it had a on/off switch. right now its just plug it in to start and unplug when you are done.

Great popcorn!

We love our Presto popcorn maker and use it EVERY night. The key for us to make good popcorn is the type of kernel we use. Many have commented on it's faults 1) no on/off switch 2) plastic top gets very hot 3) lighter small gourmet kernels fly out unless you tip the popcorn maker back until kernels start popping. We first tried using it with the common Orville Redenbocker kernels carried in most grocery stores. And we almost stopped there. It made the chewiest, stick to your teeth, awful popcorn. This seems to be a type of kernel that needs to be popped with oil. To make the best popcorn, we ordered samples of gourmet popcorns online (Riehles and Wisconsin Gold) and picked the kinds we liked best when air-popped. Many of the small kernels are very good. Then to season, I toss the batch with 1 Tbsp melted butter and salt.
