Product Description
Pop some corn, snuggle up on the sofa, and grab the remote control. Whether it's a romantic evening for two, or a family tradition involving children and maybe even the family dog, popcorn is the perfect snack for a night at home watching movies. Since this popper pops with hot air and not oil, you can munch without guilt (or add some melted butter and promise to walk it off the next day).

Plug in the Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper 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 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper except for color and logo. Presto covers the popper with a two-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

 Previous reviews not true for my unit January 7, 2009
Unit needs some sort of cover. Not only do kernels not all pop but they come flying out the chute of the unit before any of the corn does pop. I used fresh "OR" corn so he can not blame the corn I used. I am extremely disappointed and will go back to my covered SS pot and oil. The blast of hot air seems to be too strong and blows out the corn - before it has an opportunity to pop in the unit. One of the few times that I have been disappointed in Amazon reviews. Inaccurate at best - lies at worst - on this product.

 I love this airpopper January 6, 2009
There are almost no kernels left over, and there's never any burnt ones. What else can you ask of popcorn? And it never needs to be cleaned, and I live with messy college kids.
Awesome Corn Man January 1, 2009
If you like good popcorn like we do, don't waste your time or money on the more expensive machines. You've found it. Perfect popcorn every time. And no need to use any oil. This truly is the most healthy way to pop corn!
What - No On/Off switch? December 21, 2008
This popper works well when you follow the directions with the correct amount of good popcorn and yes, some will pop on the counter and/or floor.
The only real problem is having to pull the electrical plug out of the wall socket to shut off the unit. This is never a good practice to unlpug any appliance drawing about 12 Amps of current! It's the same as unplugging a vacuum cleaner, 1400W hair dryer, or 1500W space heater. Try doing this in dim or dark light and watch the sparks that light up between the plug and the outlet - "pow". Eventually the plug and outlet will get burned, worsening the problem. Earlier models with On/Off switches passed the UL approval but I can't believe they would pass this cost saving change. How cheap! But, I corrected this problem by adding my own switch. (Yes, I voided the warranty) I installed a 16 Amp/120 Volt SPST On/Off switch. (Jameco Electronics #316022 $0.99 + Shipping or try Radio Shack) Fairly easy to do if you work in electronics. Just cut a rectangle hole in the plastic base, install switch, and solder wires from "hot" side of power. There's plenty of room for the switch and the wires are long enough the reach for connecting. Now I enjoy fresh hot air popped corn without the fear of damaging my electircal outlet. Please see the photo I uploaded, a good product made better.

Very pleased with the quality of the Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper. It does an excellent job popping the corn, easy to clean and operate. The item shipped promptly after the order was placed with Amazon.
