Heats popcorn using hot air for dry, healthy and delicious popcorn / As Seen On TV

Amazon.com Review:
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 the PopLite with a two-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

- Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper shoots popcorn everywhere
I used to have a small. inexpensive model that shot popcorn through a smaller channel that left everything in the bowl. All the reviewers were correct about this one shooting popcorn everywhere due to the force of the popping and the width of the spout. But there isn't really a decent alternative, so just use a large bowl, put it on the kitchen counter and aim it toward the wall, guide it by keeping something at the sides or putting a kitchen towel over it while it is operating, and don't overfill ...

- Great Product!
The corn popper is great! So much quicker and healthier than popping corn with oil. I had one that I had been using for years and was delighted when I found this replacement for my tired old corn popper.

- Makes great tasting healthy popcorn
I admit I got sucked into the convenience mode and had been eating microwave popcorn for a while. I had forgotten what really good popcorn tastes like. The air-popped popcorn comes out light and fluffy and really helps to appreciate the true "corn" flavor. I have not had any problems with any appreciable number of unpopped kernels. Definitely far less unpopped kernels than from the microwave bags. I was always prone to overcooking and burning my popcorn in the microwave, anyway. Virtually no mess ... Read More

- The un-popper
This machine comes with a 1/2 cup measurer which serves as the butter melting dish too. If you use less then the full 1/2 cup measure, it throws out lots of unpopped corn. Even with the full 1/2 cup, it throws out a several unpops before it starts popping. The butter melt cup is nice, but the time it takes to pop the corn is not enough time to melt the butter...I even sliced it down to smaller pieces. Also there is no on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off - that ... Read More

- Works fine but watch for flying kernals at the end
Echoing most of the other reviews here - it works great and makes fine popcorn, but at the end it will just spit out flying kernels all over the place.
