What are the criteria for finding the number one machine? Price, quality, more salubrious options, and amount matter. The best hot air popcorn popper will have to have these four qualities.

Special features, like a dispenser for melted butter, have to be taken into considerateness as well.

ReviewPlug in Presto’s PopLite and the party begins. In less than 2-1/2 minutes you’ll have up to 18 cups–two big bowlfuls–of fluffy popcorn with almost no unpopped kernels. And because the machine uses hot air rather of oil, the resulting snack is more salubrious 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 for the duration of the popping process. The clear plastic cover and cup, which must stay on for the duration of popping so the popped corn doesn’t fly all over the room, without apparent effort 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 occupation 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

 Orville Redenbacher’s Twin
By Brian Mulcahy
The Presto Poplite Popper is the same as the (more expensive)Presto Orville Redenbacher’s Popper. I emailed Presto. They said “Functionally there is no divergence among the two corn poppers”. So save a lot of cash and get the Poplite. This popper works awsome. It blows away my old air-popper. It pumps out the popcorn super fast, with very few unpopped kernals.

 Good ‘ol popper
By David Cortesi
I’ve had one of these for more than 10 years and am ordering a new one because the yellow plastic air guide has just disintegrated from age and heating. The motor and factor are still working.
Yes: if you leave it alone it does throw out a few blistering-hot kernels. But if for the duration of the introductory 30 seconds of running you hold it and tilt it back with regards to 30 degrees, it doesn’t. As soon as any kernels have popped you may set it down again.
Lowest-calorie popcorn? At the supermarket, buy an aerosol may of cooking oil spray. Face the popcorn bowl, spray in right hand and salt-shaker in left. As the popcorn tumbles out, alternately spritz with cooking oil and sprinkle with salt. The oil spray has basically zero calories (a teaspoon per batch?) but it makes the salt stick to the popcorn!
Fun with your popper, impress the kids. There are always a few kernels that don’t pop left in the bottom. And each time, one or 2 will go off a couple seconds AFTER you pull the plug. So: pull out the plug, tardily raise your index finger and point, magically, at the popper. Bang! Blow smoke off imaginery gun barrel.

Great inexpensive popper
By Arthur Bradley
The Presto 04820 is a great inexpensive popcorn popper. It is very easy to use–simply pour in 1/2 cup of popcorn and turn it on. A minute or so later, the popcorn gets hot sufficient to pop and begins to flow (sometimes shoot) out the front of the unit. Have a nice big bowl in front of it! There is a butter cup on top of the unit. The idea is to use the popper’s heat to melt the butter. It doesn’t rather work out that way, because the butter doesn’t have adequate time to melt. Fortunately, the butter cup is microwave (and dishwasher) safe, so you may just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to finish the melting. Popcorn comes out very well popped, no burned kernels, and very few unpopped kernels (perhaps 5-10 total).
After popping, be sure to pour out the few kernels that might stay in the cooker. If you don’t they might burn for the duration of the next batch. I found this out the hard way, when I smelled smoke and the unit without delay shut off. As long as you pour out the few unpopped kernels, all is well. Very low maintenance unit, just a quick wipe down, and washing of the butter cup.
Definitely, I may give a thumbs up to this popcorn popper.
