Product Description
Product Description
Best hot air popper! Convenient, natural and light! Pops regular or gourmet popping corn with hot air, not oil, for a healthy, low calorie treat ! Fast! Pops up to 18 cups of gourmet corn in less than 2 1/2 minutes. Leaves virtually no un-popped kernels. 120 volts, 60 Hz only.
Amazon.com
Plug in Presto’s PopLite and the party begins. In less than 2-1/2 minutes you’ll have up to 18 cups--two large bowlfuls--of fluffy popcorn with virtually no unpopped kernels. And because the machine uses hot air instead of oil, the resulting snack is healthier and lower in calories. That’s not to say you can’t add butter; in fact, the 1/2-cup measuring cup on top of the popper doubles as a butter melter. Simply put in the desired amount of margarine or butter (room temperature is best), and it melts from the heat produced during the popping process. The clear plastic cover and cup, which must stay on during popping so the popped corn doesn’t fly all over the room, easily remove for hand cleaning with warm, soapy water. No other clean-up is required. While a few unpopped kernels spring out the chute as the machine begins to heats up, the chute does a good job of directing the popped corn into a bowl. The popper measures 14 by 9 by 6-1/2 inches, and is identical to Presto’s Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper except for color and logo. Presto covers 1 year limited warranty. --Ann Bieri NOTE: State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning: WARNING!

This latest one I bought discounted as "used." It arrived next day and is BRAND NEW. Absolutely clean, unused. It shipped/arrived in its original glossy factory box with an Amazon label applied to it - no usual wrapper shipping cardboard box & not much internal shock isolation stuffing (which is fine by me - less waste). It survived the 1 day trip. It works absolutely flawlessly as the previous ones have. Let's see how long this one lasts. Pops kernels completely & in the 98% range. The max load is about 400 kernels. Of these, I routinely have 4-6 un-popped. These few (un-popped kernels remaining in the unit), have to do with the corn, not the popper. If you can find a "used" one, buy it. Save a few bucks. Help reduce the massive return waste that Amazon must deal with. If it is a dud return it and pay a few bucks and get a " new" one. Used is really the box, it looks a little handled that's all.
These poppers have NO on/off switch. Chinese penny pinching. NOTE: When the pop rate drops off to nearly 1 per second, wait a few seconds then UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY to preserve the super fragile cheap wiring and components.
This gets 5 stars based on value. All poppers are massed produced Chinese toy junk, but this one works great (until it fails). Compared to all the other "junk" poppers, this one is at the top of the heap ( best :)
All this nonsense about them throwing popcorn all over the place is absurd. I put a big bowl under the discharge chute and it catches 100%. The foul odor complaint is also nonsense. EVERY new device, particularly a heat appliance will have a preliminary start up odor associated with the plastic and residues from manufacturing. After the 1st or 2nd cycle all is fine. What do you want for $22-26? No reason to pay any more. Higher prices are just marketing and hype to sucker people into thinking it is a "better? product. These all have the same motor, same design, same plastics.
This popper is designed to have a large bowl placed next to it, in order to receive the popped kernels; the bowl is NOT included with this popper. The popper is in three pieces; the base, the clear plastic cover, and the butter melting cup. The melting cup holds exactly 1/2 cup of un-popped kernels, so it can be used as a measuring cup since the popper is designed to be used with exactly 1/2 cup of kernels put into the popping chamber. After being used in this way, the melting cup can be used to melt a couple large pads of butter during popping. However, if you put refrigerated butter into the cup, there will probably not be enough heat in the two minutes of popping time to actually melt it all; they recommend using butter that has already softened to room temperature. The popper does not care whether or not you use the cup to melt butter during the popping period.
Sequence: Measure 1/2 cup of kernels, using the melting cup OR some other measuring cup, into the popper base's popping chamber. Place the clear cover over the base, then place the melting cup into its recess on top of the cover. Place a large bowl next to the base, under the cover;s chute. Push the power button on the side of the base. Wait about 2 minutes until popping seems to stop. Press the power button again to turn the popper off. All of the popped kernels should be in the bowl. Remove the melting cup from the cover, and if there is melted butter in it, drizzle that into the bowl. Tip the combined base and cover over the trash to remove any remaining un-popped kernels. There should not be any cleanup of the base or cover, but if you melted butter in the cup, THAT will need to be washed. Note that neither the cover or the melting cup are dishwasher safe; these can only be cleaned by hand, using warm water and dish soap. There should not be any need to clean the popping base, other than to empty out any un-popped kernels after each popping batch.
Presto has a wide range of well designed and well built products, and I have several of their products, including their rotating pizza cooker. They also have a high quality customer service, easy to reach with people based in the USA answering customer questions. I very much like this new popper.
I have made two batched of popcorn so far with this new popper, and was was the simplest, easiest, and fastest one I have ever used.
Get the PopLite Plus with the *on/off switch*...I mean, they should all really have this in 2024, not really a special feature in the digital age. Who wants to be yanking a cord out of the wall to turn it off?! Silly and probably bad for the cord. But I digress. I bought it "used" for $30 or so. It was in a box that had been opened and resealed but otherwise new. The cover does get really hot, and even when you turn it off you'll want to let it sit for a minute or so in case any late popping kernels decide to go for it. I would not recommend leaving it on past 2 or 2.5 minutes. You won't need more time than that and it does appear that other versions of this have melted their covers, probably people not watching it or leaving it on too long...
Ive used it twice so far and I've had maybe a half dozen kernels that didn't pop each time, and my popcorn isn't particularly fresh - probably bought within the last year or so. The popcorn is delicious, it's fun, economical...a very cool product. If you are on the fence, get it!

Most all kernels pop.
Does not burn or waste a lot.
We spray on some Avocado Oil and add a little salt, then mix it up.
Tastes Great!
