Best Way to Make Popcorn
I have had mine for more than 2 years and it works perfectly each time making light and fluffy popcorn in a minimal amount of time. Once early on I overfilled it and it gave off a burning smell and the popcorn was not moving so I i.mediately unplugged it but ever since it works like a charm and is my favorite small appliance. Always be sure to keep the top on while it cools so it doesnt warp and dont overfilled and it will work for years.

Thank you for your review. You're right, if you overfill the popper, it will shut off for safety; and yes, burned popcorn has a nasty smell! Glad you got this figured out! Just a note, make sure to cool the popper if you need to pop multiple batches. This too, will overheat the popper and cause it to shut off. Enjoy your popper!

Super easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for a honest opinion. I’ve never used a popcorn maker like this but it was by far very easy to use. My little one enjoyed seeing the popcorn come out and he even knows how to use it. The noise level was not very loud. Also he the cleaning process was super easy and didn’t leave an oily feeling. 10/10 recommend.

Simple to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This popcorn popper is super easy to use. There is no power button you just plug it in to start it and unplug to stop it. There is a fill line inside the machine if you want to pop the max amount of popcorn or you can use the included scoop (which doubles as a butter melter) to measure. Perfect for family movie nights

Fun to watch, taste is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this popcorn maker. It was super fun for the kids to watch, and the popcorn came out great. I used white corn kernels, but I think it would work better with yellow corn. They were flying all over my kitchen in the beginning, which was frustrating. I loved the butter compartment on top that melted the butter as your popcorn popped. Overall, this is a fun kitchen appliance, and my kids are obsessed with the homemade popcorn!

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised how easy this was to use! I have never used an air popper before but it was very simple and clean up was easy. Although it didn't have the delicious buttery flavor but you can add seasoning after making the popcorn.

Lovely homemade popcorn!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size of the machine. The popcorn tasted great and popped quick. Only downfall was that it suddenly started popping without warning and popcorn went everywhere. Otherwise it is great!

Quick and easy popcorn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is awesome for a quick snack. I think I got 4qts of popcorn in less than a minute. We like sweet theater-style popcorn so we had to separately make the glaze/syrup for it. It’d be cool if we could also make sweet popcorn directly using the maker. The noise was alright, it didn’t make MUCH noise other than the air blowing. Cleaning was easy too, since we just need to wash two pieces and wipe down the chamber. I would’ve preferred an on/off button, but it starts the moment you plug it in.

Thank you for your review. You are correct, seasonings and flavors should be added after the popcorn has been popped. We appreciate your suggestion for an on/off switch. We will certainly share this with our design team for future consideration. Let us know if we can ever help you!

Great tasting popcorn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This popcorn maker was very simple to use. The popcorn tastes great, no burnt pieces. However- at the beginning it shoots out unpopped kernels out at an alarming rate. They go everywhere.
1 reply from PrestoCS team - 1 year ago
We thank you for your review. Most Presto hot air poppers operate by weight. If there is not enough weight in the popping chamber, the hot air will blow out unpopped kernels. Note: Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with hot air poppers. Let us know if we can help you further.

Love this popcorn machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PopLite® Hot Air Popper is an excellent choice for popcorn enthusiasts looking for a fast, efficient, and healthier way to enjoy their favorite snack. Its ease of use, quick operation, and minimal cleanup make it a convenient addition to any kitchen. While it has a few minor drawbacks, such as the lack of an on/off switch and occasional flying kernels, these do not significantly detract from its overall performance and value. The noise level during operation is relatively low compared to other kitchen appliances, making it a non-intrusive addition to a movie night. The inclusion of a butter melting tray is a nice touch, though it does add a small amount of cleanup. The popping process is almost instantaneous once the machine is warmed up, and the majority of kernels are popped, minimizing waste. The popcorn produced is light, fluffy, and virtually free of unpopped kernels.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids loved making the popcorn. It was new for them. They had so much fun. The butter section could be a little bigger. I hate pouring the butter as it stays in one spot

Quick and easy healthy snack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This poplite hot air popcorn popper is an awesome appliance for my family. We love to have healthy snacks and this is a quick way to make one. The kernels blow around a bit and after a couple minutes they are popping and done. The popcorn is great and no kernels are left behind.

Makes making popcorn for a crowd easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love popcorn. It’s my favorite snack of all time, but it can be costly to buy the single serve packages all of the time. Not to mention, it can be unhealthy with all of the butter. I was thrilled to try the Poplite Hot Air Popper to make popcorn in my home in a healthier, more cost-effective way. The instructions were easy to follow. What I don’t like is that the soft margarine did not melt all the way. I also feel like it’d be nice if there were instructions for how to make less popcorn than the 1/2 cup scoop yields. I also don’t like that I have to dirty up a separate bowl for popcorn instead of them including one. I like that it popped most of the kernels and how quickly it works — 2-3 minutes. Not bad at all. The machine also gets super hot, so I had to use pot holders to remove the cover to serve. Overall, it’s a best machine for making popcorn in bulk, but I also like the convenience of the bags when looking for a fast treat. I’d recommend this, but there are some cons.
