Presto 04869 Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper - Built-In Measuring Cup + Melts Butter, Easy to Clean, Built-In Cord Wrap, 18 Cups, Aqua/White

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.

Popping Popcorn is easy and Presto has made it Perfect. Has 1-2 kernels that doesn't get popped per 1/2 cup, never burns popcorn and doesn't require oils to pop. Be prepared to be amazed how much popcorn will be made with only a 1/2 cup of kernels, use at least a 3.7 liter bowl to 4 liter bowl that is about 16.9 cups or about a gallon container. I used real butter melted in the microwave and salt to flavor the popcorn in the bowl, never put the butter in the air popper. I would paid extra money for a Stainless Steel model if Presto made them. Quality is first rate and much better tasting than the microwave popcorn. Doesn't have a switch to turn it on and off, which I would prefer, no chemical smells come from the unit at all, very happy with this purchase.

Basic and functional. Doesn't take up a lot of space and pops a large bowl of popcorn (see photo). Pops almost all of the corn kernels, is easy to clean, sleek design, pops corn in a few minutes. I haven't used the butter melt cup on top and probably won't. It doesn't have an on/off switch so you have to plug it in and unplug each time, which I found odd, but maybe that's typical for corn poppers? The top DOES get hot, so let it cool before removing.

Such a good product. Hot air popper works great and fast. Highly recommend. Simple to use. Easy to clean. If you love popcorn, get it.

We got this to replace an almost identical one that finally gave it up after at least 40 years. It pops beautifully. The butter melting cup is a joke, though. It never gets hot enough to melt anything. We just put the butter in a porcelain cup and nuke it for 25 sec.

I wish I had bought this years ago. So simple, easy to clean and the kids love it so I don't even have to make the popcorn anymore! The butter melting is not great but not worth deducting any stars because the popcorn is perfect!

It pops popcorn. However, it has no obvious on or off button/switch/gesture. If there were one, it is so terribly designed that it is nearly impossible to identify (maybe there is an app in the box that I overlooked). To operate it, one must plug it into an electrical socket to get it to start and pull the plug out to get it to stop. While this was not a surprise to me because it is represented in photographs, it is incredible ugly and it looks even worse in person. Its presences is akin to a giant, fat duck landing on your kitchen counter. Its shape exaggerates the appearance of its overall size. It is a monument to pigmented plastic. Even when you are alone, you will be embarrassed by this machine. You will wonder why you bought it. You will notice that it takes up almost too much cupboard space to hide. You will hide from it and stop using your kitchen. You will rethink your life choices and values after you purchase this product. People who see it in your home will delete you from their contact list. Like many other reviewers, I do not use the butter-melting plastic lid feature, but my impression is that if I did, its design could cause it to be easily mishandled and create a mess. Because it is stacked on two other separate elements, it is an accident waiting to happen. Butter could spill and ruin the interior of the machine and splatter to create a lasting mess in a kitchen. You could slip on melted butter and never get up. When one empties the overall device of any unpopped kernels, it looks clean and seems easy to wipe away any remaining particles. However, the beak-like feature (the top of it) is not very easy to put back in place (the fit is not intuitive). It is not difficult. It simply seems like it should be easier. In other words, the design of the top section looks the same way it behaves when handled: awkward. All of these machines look terrible and pollute your living space with particles and the smell of popcorn and worse. It seems like it was designed in the 1970s (no improvements for air quality or scent containment). The microwave popcorn versions seem even more poisonous to me. So, iterations of this kind of product seem to be about all that is out there, unless you buy popcorn popped and bagged, which I sometimes do. Long ago, I like air-popped popcorn so I bought it to try it. Now my space smells like a county fair or a movie theater. I might relegate it to a rarely used powder room that has a strong exhaust feature to keep the contraption contained. Lastly, the reflected light from the yellow makes my light-colored countertop and backsplash tile look stained and dirty.

I bought it. It was a hard choice. But I felt well it's a well known name . I am sure it's good. It makes good popcorn. It's quick. Popcorn is billowy and stable. But..... there is no on/off switch! I plugged it in a few times, it sparked and I blew out the circuit breaker! I thought I blew the outlet at first . But I checked the box and found the tripped breaker. Huh! So easy to put a switch on it for safety, I felt. The sparks gave me a jolt! So I say, bad design. I still have it. So I say use with caution..when you plug it in.. strange.. not having a switch.. saving money honey?,

Awesome popcorn popper. Works as described. Popcorn some times gets stuff once they really get popping which requires you to unclog the popcorn to prevent burning.

Product Is Good But, For India Power Supply Volt Should Be 230 Volt. And This Product is Having 110 Volt. This Is Reason Which I Felt Sorry After Purchasing This Product.

Aufpassen !!!!! Ich hatte diese Maschine gekauft für den gebrauch in Deutschland ! Das klappt nicht auch nicht mit einem Adapter !!! Um diese Maschine nutzen zu können braucht man einen Konverter der die Voltzahl runterregelt !!! Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und kann diese Maschine keinem empfehlen der nur deutsche Netzteile verwenden kann !!! Ursprünglich wollte ich diese Maschine zurückschicken lassen aber es hätte mich weitere 21€ gekostet.....!!! Absolute frechheit sowas für Deutschland anzubieten und dann noch nicht einmal einen passenden Konverter mit beizulegen !!!!! Absolut KEINE kaufempfehlung meinerseits !!!!!

Its 110V not 220, so its not for UAE market, otherwise its good quality

El producto funciona excelentemente bien, reventando hasta el ultimo de los granos de maíz, aparte de tener un excelente precio. Palomitas menos caloricas al no necesitar aceite para su preparación, pero las más desabridas que haya probado nunca, con el problema de que la sal no se les adhiere por ningun lado por la falta de esa capita de grasa. Intenté de diversas formas llegando a la "solución" de diluir sal en agua dentro de un atomizador para así aplicarselas. Definitivamente prefiero el sabor de las palomitas preparadas en aceite.
