Presto 04811 PopLite My Munch Hot Air Popcorn Popper - Personal Sized, Built-In Serving Bowl, Compact Design, 8 Cups, Blue

Got this for my Dad who lives popcorn but wanted something healthier than oily microwave packets or stovetop poppers. He uses it every day for a popcorn snack at his home office desk. It is compact, a fun color and works great! The popping vessel serves as a bowl and all of it cleans up and stores nicely. He has had it for a year now and it is still going strong with almost daily use! It pops all but one or two kernsls, is a great price and offers a healthier popcorn option.

The Presto PopLite My Munch hot air popper is great for one: it pops 8 cups of fluffy popcorn in minutes and even comes with a built-in serving bowl. Its compact design and effortless clean-up make it ideal for dorm rooms, home theaters, or snack lovers on the go. Love the bright blue finish too!✅ Fast and mess-free⚠️ Best for single servings—not large crowds

Love this air popcorn popper. Easy to use. Easy to clean and storage. Healthier than buying microwave popcorn. No oil other than the butter you melt to put on it after you pop it. Ideal for one person but fast to make multiple batches. Love the color and good value for the money. Heat level is good and works well. I would buy this again. Would be a good gift.

Great little electric popcorn popper! I love it since it enables me to choose which popcorn I want to use, and it's also good for limiting the size of your portion.Popcorn is one of my favorite evening snacks while watching movies & TV at home. For years prior to this, I was eating microwave popcorn in bags, and even though I chose versions with only a modest amount of (artificial) butter, the kernels were still oily, and there would always be grease on the microwave carousel plate. Even placing the bag in the microwave on top of a paper towel, there was so much grease that it soaked through the paper towel onto the glass plate, and there were always (artificial) butter splatters on the microwave door. Yuk! I was always cleaning inside the microwave.So, finally I ditched pre-bagged microwave popcorn. I started using this little electric popper in the spring of 2025. It's now nearly the end of summer and it's been working perfectly.The one drawback, for which I took off one star, is that there is no "off" switch. You have to literally pull the plug out of the outlet to turn it off. Speaking of which: You MUST stand right there and wait for the corn to start pausing in between pops, which is how you know it's done. It only takes maybe two minutes for it to pop a bucket of corn, so, just wait patiently and be ready to pull the plug. If you don't pull the plug, the corn will be burnt. (And oh, it's also a fire hazard.)When I bought this in the spring of 2025, it cost $10 less. So the price has gone way up; I suppose that has to do with tariffs, unfortunately. Still, you can keep an eye on Amazon because in any given month, there are limited-time deals in which products like these go on sale. And there are also third-party price watchers.If you love popcorn and eat it often, this is a great little popper. Its vertical design means it doesn't take up a lot of counter space, an added plus.

I've searched hi and lo for a satisfactory popcorn machine. I figured I would never find one with the ones I've gone through. The typical ones (white one pictured) I find a lot to be lacking yet "almost" the only ones you can find. BUT this new one, first one pictured, is the BOMB.So, all the good points: 1. It pops MOST of the kernels...second pic...I believe there are about 8 kernels unpopped. 2. I can carry it with ONE HAND...this may not sound like a big deal but when your popcorn and machine are stored elsewhere, I want to be able to carry both! All the others, I have to carry with two hands, and the top plastic falls off etc etc. 3. Popcorn does not FLY EVERYWHERE! The others, I have to vacuum and find all the strays on my counter. 4. It is nice and compact and everything fits together...even the cord!!The other popcorn machine pictured (I bought both the green and white at the same time and had a similar one that I used previously (same or close to the same color to the one I like) that I HATED!! It was the WORST). I digress...you can see in the 3rd and 5th picture ALL the kernels that were not popped in the white one. The 3rd pic is all that was in the bottom of the bowl after being popped and the 5th picture is still what is in the popcorn machine after being popped. For comparison purposes, I put 1/4 cup in each machine. The poplite can only hold 1/4 cup (and, DO NOT overfill!!!) and I put the same amount in the white one so kernels would be equal. The last picture is where I took all the kernels from the bowl and bottom of white machine and popped them in my poplite. You can see, even after the kernels ran through one machine, the poplite AGAIN popped almost all the kernels. I am telling you, this is the BEST machine I've EVER had. 1/4 cup is not a lot of popcorn so for two people, you will have to pop twice but it is super fast so this is not an issue.One caveat...it does not have an on/off switch. If they could make any changes, this would be it. EVEN without this, I would give it 10 stars if I could I love it so much!!

Perfect popper for 1! It pops the PERFECT amount with no mess. After corn is done pour into a bowl to add salt and/or spray ghee. Popper just wipes clean, I rinse the bowl quickly then put on drying mat, for next use. Easy, healthy and excellent value. Highly recommend.
