Summary: Popper
Comment: Aesome machine. Some fault as try tilt it about 30 degree backward so seeds can stay in pit to be popped otherwise will waste seed in the bowl.
Love taste the popcorn from it.

Summary: Missing just one small thing...
Comment: This is easily the best air popper we've had/used and we've had/used a few over the years. Using the same quality corn as we have with others this popper produces a higher yield, fluffier popped corn and, importantly, less popped corn thrown around the room! However, it is missing one seemingly simple and inexpensive part... an ON/OFF switch! Your "on/off" switch is effectively the plug & outlet. 9 out of 10 times this produces a blue spark at the electrical outlet upon first contact as the machine immediately tries to draw all the current it can attain. The kids don't like to use it, probably a good deterrent in hind site, but a simple $0.10 on/off switch probably should have been included in the bill of materials...

Summary: Great Popcorn Popper
Comment: I LOVE my new popcorn popper. I don't have any complaints. I turned the popcorn popper on and let it warm up about 3 minutes without the top on before placing the top and and putting in the popcorn as I read in another review. It works perfectly. When I hear the first pop I hold the pan close to the chute to avoid any wild kernels until the popper is full (takes about 30 seconds) then I put the pan down and let it pop. When your blowing hot air into popcorn a few wild kernels is to be expected but definitely was not any kind of problem. My sister and I used the popper to make several batches of popcorn for popcorn balls. We had the best time. One of the little measuring cups makes a lot of popcorn and I only had about 2-3 kernels left unpopped in the popper using Jolly Organic Popcorn. I would definitely buy again and plan to buy them for Christmas gifts. The grandchildren LOVE watching the corn pop and fall into the pan from the chute. Popping popcorn use to be a big deal but not any more. I really like the fact that we're not eating microwave popped corn anymore. GREAT PURCHASE!

Summary: Fast and healthy
Comment: This popcorn maker is great. It is fast, easy to use, and pops almost all of the kernels. It is great to have an air popper because you don't need to add a bunch of oil (although you can melt butter in the little cup at the top, if you want). The only downside is that there is no on/off switch-- plugging it in turns it on-- but that is pretty minor.

Summary: As Good As It Gets
Comment: I've had several air poppers over the years. My favorite has always been the Wearever Popcorn Pumper, but this Presto PopLite is almost as good.
What makes a good air popper are (1) popping chamber being sufficiently deep and narrow, and (2) hot-air fan being not so high as to easily facilitate unpopped kernels blowing out of the popping chamber.
This popper is very good on both issues!
As for others recommending "tilting popper back 30 degrees"... recommended to keep popping kernels from blowing others out of the popping chamber. If when the first couple of kernels pop you'll do this for about 15 seconds, there will be a build-up of popped kernels in the popping chamber which will prevent unpopped kernels from blowing out.
Also, recommend using a regular brand (I like Jolly Time Yellow). Premium brands, like Orville's, pop with more force and tend to blow unpopped kernels out of the popping chamber.
