Plug in the Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper 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 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper except for color and logo. Presto covers the popper with a two-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
Pop some corn, snuggle up on the sofa, and grab the remote control. Whether it's a romantic evening for two, or a family tradition involving children and maybe even the family dog, popcorn is the perfect snack for a night at home watching movies. Since this popper pops with hot air and not oil, you can munch without guilt (or add some melted butter and promise to walk it off the next day).

 I'm buying another July 25, 2004

Nothing last forever.
Presto has been making this popper for a long time. I bought one about 15 years ago, and use it maybe once a week. Makes wonderful popcorn, evenly popped, no burning, no oils, just great popcorn. You do need to put a big bowl under it and turn the bowl, but with this slight attention, there is no mess.
The popper died last night -- motor burned out. But how many consumer devices last 15 years? I got my money's worth.
So, I'm buying another one today. Why try something else when this works so well?

I'm in college and live on air popcorn (don't like microwave -- I'm spoiled!) Anyway, I had a Presto popper that died after 15 or 20 years of use. I got a new one that was a Salton and it only lasted a month. When I saw a Presto popcorn maker, I was thrilled! I trust this brand 100%! Nice to know that maybe I have another popper that will be around the next 20 years.
 Pops fairly well, but not the best design. April 5, 2005

I've had this machine for several months now and I'm saying bye-bye along with some other items that are being donated in the morning. I'm going back to my old Black&Decker machine that I retired to the garage when this Presto arrived.
PROs:
This machine pops fairly well (leaves only a few unpopped kernels)
It's easy to clean.
It can dispense a fair amount of the old fluffy stuff in one sitting.
CONs:
There's no On/Off switch (unless you count the cord as a switch...).
It heats up the bowl the popcorn is shooting into. The bowl temperature can get high after a few minutes of blowing, thereby making it a bit hot to handle, especially for youngsters.
It shoots an occassional unpopped kernel into the receiving bowl. While no hot air popper is 100%, these hotties end up popping inside the bowl along side the already-popped kernels, thereby invariably sending a few airborn, right to the floor.
Don't get me wrong..., it's not a BAD machine. I just think my old antique B&D was a much better design. It popped kernels in a covered attached container. It had an On/Off switch, it had a butter-melting tray on top and it took up less room (not as top-heavy).
For the most part, I was disappointed in the Presto. The fact that it appeared bigger than my B&D and the idea that the corn would discharge directly into a separate bowl were the reasons for the purchase. The disadvantages outweighed the advantages. Having used a hot air popper for years prior to this, I have a reference to use for comparison.
This machine isn't too bad, but there are probably better designs out there. I'm sticking to my old one for now.
Great Product, Highly Recommended ! October 7, 2002

After getting fed up with the unhealthy ingredients in microwave popcorn, and with the hassles of stovetop popcorn making, I tried this unit. WOW, what a great unit! Pops fast, ZERO cleanup, and you have the option of butter, no butter, etc. This unit also has a small footprint in a cabinet or on a countertop. This unit takes only a few minutes to make a large amount of popcorn.
Fast, efficient, and easy September 19, 2003

I haven't had any problems with my popcorn maker and I have already used it multiple times since I got it a couple of weeks ago. The popcorn pops fast, and hardly any kernals are left behind without popping. The only downside I would say is that because it pops so fast it leaves little time to melt the butter. But that isn't a big deal...you can just put the butter in the microwave and have it melted in no time. You can also just leave the popper on for a little longer while you wait for the butter to melt.Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.
