Presto 04867 PopLite® Plus hot air popper

Finally a hot air popper that does what it’s supposed to. Pops almost every kernel without too many flying, stray kernels making you question if you should be wearing safety goggles. No overheating smells. Yes, the lid gets hot as I saw in a couple remarks. They all do. The measuring cups at the top also doubles for melting your butter if you choose. (We melt out separately). Don’t waste your money on the cheaper models out there. Love it!

And you may ask yourself... 'why would i spend $100 on a popcorn maker' well.. i have to say this is way better than our old one. faster, i like the on off switch. tried it with 3 diff popcorns. 1. Orville Red ( worked best but Orville is American so boycotting him for now) 2. PC purple popcorn. Very good. some kernels.. not the machines fault 3. Uncle Bobs CANADIAN popcorn. worked great. big kernels. no burning I'd recommend even just to rid yourself of your old crappy maker.. this is faster , light and really impressed.

This popcorn machine pops super fast! less than 30 seconds. Warning that the plastic top does get very hot and can melt. Ours unfortunately melted inward and bubbled a bit when it was left unattended and still running, so the heat got too hot. But honestly a great popcorn machine and you get popcorn super fast.

Had this about a week. Seemed ok at first. Takes longer to pop, no big deal. Tonight I run it and all I can smell is the sweet chemical smell of plastic...the top is melting around the butter dish as can be seen in the pics. It also managed to spit out about half the kernels unpopped so the statement that it pops more than others is a lie. Returning for refund. I highly doubt the plastic used would be different if I asked for a replacement. Completely unacceptable.

This is a game changer. We don't have a microwave so whenever we want popcorn I had to make it on the stove top which took forever and was a lot of work. With this machine. I have a full bowl of popcorn within minutes! Also the no oil part makes it healthier and saves money not having to use oil. Cleanup is super easy, just wipe it down with a cloth and your good to go!
