-- The Presto Lite hot air popper purchased via Amazon.com cost less than a similar popper in local hardware store even after paying for shipping. Using hot air popper is safer than popping kernels in hot oil on stove. from Amazon.com I can't give it 5 stars because it does have issues mentioned in other reviews. They can be worked around. I have the Presto microwave popper also. I have to say that the microwave popper produces more moist popcorn. from Amazon.com We bought this popcorn popper to replace our Presto Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Popper after it began to shoot out sparks! If you are trying to decide between the two, I highly recommend this one. from Amazon.com A group of us (about a dozen) purchase GREEN COFFEE beans on a regular basis (about 20lbs a month) and most (about 10) use the Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper as the Roaster. Eddy, one of the home roasters, was nice enough to transcribe his method and wanted to share. from Amazon.com I LOVE my PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper. The taste of the popcorn is excellent. from Amazon.com This popper works well with the heavier kernel varieties of popcorn, but those varieties all hulls that remain once popped. I like the "hull-less" variety (typically white popcorn) and since those kernels are lighter in weight, the Presto's hot air stream blows a lot of them right out of the popper, especially in the early part of the process. This is annoying since I believe that there are probably some simple design changes that would have prevented this. from Amazon.com Poplite Hot Air Corn Popper works great. I do plug it in to preheat it a little, unplug it, add the popcorn and plug it back in. from Amazon.com The popcorn pops almost every kernal & I can use as much butter & salt as wanted. No chemicals from packaged popping corn. Pretty much satisfied except for the noise & that Presto no longer is using Americans to build their product. M. from Amazon.com I bought this popper to make roasted coffee, having used the Poppery II for many years for that purpose, with great success. However, I can't recommend this popper for that purpose. With the Presto, the hot air blows at the bottom of the bean chamber with such force that the green bean were flying out of the popper. I added more beans, which kept the air velocity down to the point where the beans stayed in the popper (more or less). from Amazon.com This is my second poplite corn popper in 10 years, they hold up pretty well. I have used others and they don't work as well. from Amazon.com
