Product Description
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

 Excellent popper and excellent price November 16, 2008
I read the reviews on Amazon before I purchased this popper. Initially I got the impression the popcorn would be dry, so I first bought the "Stir-Crazy" unit. It works well, but requires oil and is a "pain" to clean. I wanted to try healthy popcorn, so I purchased the air popper. Just follow the directions and it will make good popcorn each time. On the first batch of popcorn, use less than a half a cup of popocorn. It will be warm for the second batch and can handle a little more than a half a cup of popcorn.
After I use it for a while, I caught on that I could put a wedge under the front edge to tilt it back to keep the popcorn in the unit and use a full cup of popcorn. The unit will fill up, so you need a weight, like a small book on top of the unit.
The unit is very good, easy to use and makes very healthy popcorn. Do not melt butter or anything else to feef it easy to clean. For the price, you can't go wrong with this popcorn unit.
 Terrible product. November 12, 2008
Pros
- Automatically feeds the dog, who's able to scavenge popcorn this thing throws everywhere but the bowl.
- Some popcorn is edible and actually finds its way into the awaiting bowl.
Cons
1- Popcorn goes Everywhere floor, counter, sink, face of bystanders.
2- Many Raw kernels ejected prior to popping.
3- Yellow lid is flimsy, and does not attach securely to base.
4- Popped corn frequently 'logjams', throwing the flimsy lid off and causing popcorn fountains (much to the delight of the aforementioned dog)
5- Butter melting lid/bowl is useless.
6- No off switch, so you constantly have to reach over counters and behind other counter-top appliances to plug/unplug this.
7- Popcorn picks up a plastic taste. I do not believe they used a plastic that is up to the temperatures this thing reaches.
love it! October 28, 2008
I love this machine! runs clean,no oil,very economical-even pops every kernal of store brand popcorn nice and fluffy as premium brands! saved me lots of time and aggrevation while making carmel corn for Halloween!
crunchiliciously good! October 24, 2008
the presto poplite hot air popper is wonderfully simple to use -- it doesn't even have an off/on switch: just plug it in & within minutes, you'll have warm, greaseless popcorn. it's also super affordable. my previous hot air popper, approx 10 years old, always seemed to leave many unpopped kernels in the bottom of the machine, & towards the end, occasional sparks would fly when i initially plugged it in. the presto does a wonderful job & i highly recommend it if you're a popcorn aficionado
 Great air-popper October 24, 2008
This product does what it says it does. I think it pops the corn faster than a microwave, and much more fun because you can watch! Only one warning: don't put more than 1/2 cup of un-popped corn in at a time.
