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

good product   August 23, 2008

This is a good, reliable product. After giving up the microwave popcorn because of recent reports, I decided to go back to air popping. No oil, no additives.


Poorly engineered! Don't waste your money   August 23, 2008

I purchased the Pesto PopLite Hot Air Popcorn popper as a replacement and am looking to get a refund. The kernals fly out unpopped even if you preheat the popper. The instruction manual says you have to use gourmet popcorn which adds to the cost. Also have to pop 1/2 cup popcorn to get anything popped and that makes over 14 cups popcorn. Can't make small amounts for a snack. Very poorly engineered. I would have rated this 0, but it was not available.


Great Popcorn Popper!   August 22, 2008

Inexpensive and works great! Hot kernels do pop out at you once in a while but it's a hot air popcorn popper. I haven't tried anything but the OR yellow popcorn kernels with this popper yet, but the popcorn is absolutely wonderful!

I love this corn popper. It produces great popcorn without the greasy calories and yucky, oversalted taste of packaged microwave popcorn. Since the corn is basically taste-free, I have the freedom to dress it up however I choose. It's fun to make different flavors; barbeque spice one day, onion salt the next. I've even drizzled on a little melted caramel and sprinkled in a few nuts to make caramel corn. Have fun experimenting!

I bought this item for my girlfriend as she would often tell me how her parents had one when she was a child. I didn't even know what it was until I found it on Amazon. Long story short - she loves it! Talk about an inexpensive gift getting a huge response. It makes great popcorn in just a couple of minutes and we love the little butter melting dish that sits on top. I highly recommend this.
