Treat yourself to a low-fat, low-calorie snack with the Orville Redenbacher's™ Gourmet® Hot Air Popper. This great popcorn maker uses hot air and not oil, making it a healthier and more economical choice than microwave bag popcorn. It pops both regular and gourmet popcorn in a flash - 18 cups can be popped in less than 2 1/2 minutes! And it leaves virtually no kernel unpopped. Simply place the bowl under the chute and pop away. The removable butter melter also doubles as a measuring cup and since no oil is involved in the process, clean up is a cinch. Just wipe the unit clean and you're done. 1,440-watts. UL-listed. Two-year limited warranty. Model # 04821.

Hot Air Popper

Keep the measuring cup in place when popping.
Pops great. I hold the unit slightly tipped back, so the kernels don't come out early as I start the unit. When the popping starts I let it sit level on the counter.

It does the job

The only bad feature I've found so far is that the air flow is so strong that small white popcorn is blown out of the popping chamber. I've resolved this by placing a perforated spatula over the popping chamber until enough kernels of the corn are popped, which will then keep the others from being blown out. I'm sure it will work better with larger corn. Overall, I would recommend it.

Needs an on/off switch

MagicChub

Would you recommend?No

After filling the reservoir, loading cap, and that lame butter melter (just melt in the microwave in your own little cup, one plugs in this hot hair dryer amid a brief electrical light show from the socket. Make sure you have a paper sack covering the vents because the popcorn and kernels shoot out all over the place. When most of the kernels and popped spew out, unplug without turning off for another electrical light show.

FRIGGIN' FIRE HAZARD without the on/off switch most appliances require.

Great popper

Would you recommend?Yes

As with the previous Presto popper that lasted over ten years, this one but pops very well. It pops all varieties of corn, leaving the very few unpopped tooth breakers behind in the popper,

Use a large bowl in front of the popper, because it does an excellent job fully popping the corn to large pieces.

Metal is best for the bowl, because it will heat up, and cheaper plastics might warp or melt.

I have used a popper identical to this one. I think the people complaining about kernels going all over neglected to leave the butter-melting cup on top. This keeps the kernels in. If you take it off, yes, they go all over. To keep it low-cal, don't put butter on, just spray with spray olive oil and sprinkle sea salt. Delish!

It pops very well. A popper to have.
Why only 4 stars?
It does not have an On and Off switch. You have to plug to start and unplug to stop. Not very easy to do. How much more would it cost if a switch was put on the cord?

Pops corn very well. Extremely hard to contain the popcorn while it is popping. It goes all over the counter top and floor instead of the contaner.

Makes Yummy Popcorn

Would you recommend?Yes

We purchased a popper that looked similar, however the kernels popped everywhere and left a lot in the hopper. This unit popped one or two kernels out of the bowl, then popped every one after that. I am thinking about buying another as a gift...I would recommend! Just have fresh kernels, and measure as directed.

Love the Popcorn Popper (after I finally received it). It pops really fast and does a really good job.

I got a humidifier that I did not order, but when I called, B.B.& B. e-mailed a prepaid return slip for the humidifier, and I got the Popcorn Popper about 5 days later. A little inconvenient, but I thought it was handled really smoothly. And after all, who's perfect???

We've only used it once since we got it, but it worked well. Makes lots of popcorn all at once, and the optional butter melting feature works well.

I LOVE THIS AIR POPPER BECAUSE I'M AN AVID POPCORN EATER. I WANTED TO BE A BIT HEALTHIER, AND IT HELPED ME TO ACHIEVE THAT VERSUS MICROWAVE POPCORN. IT'S SO EASY TO CLEAN AND I LOVE THE SMALL REMOVABLE MECHANISM TO MELT BUTTER OR YOU CAN USE OLIVE OIL. IT DEFINITELY WAS A GREAT INVESTMENT.

This is a great hot air popper with many less issues with unpopped kernels than my other smaller hot air popper had. Works best with Orville Redenbacher popcorn.
