Product Description

Best hot air popper! Convenient, natural and light! Pops regular or gourmet popping corn with hot air, not oil, for a healthy, low calorie treat ! Fast! Pops up to 18 cups of gourmet corn in less than 2 1/2 minutes. Leaves virtually no un-popped kernels. 120 volts, 60 Hz only.

Amazon.com

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 1 year limited warranty. --Ann Bieri NOTE: State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning: WARNING!

I survived the Presto PopLite Hot Air Popper!

ByBeccaTOP 500 REVIEWERon January 6, 2017

Size: NoneColor: White/YellowVerified Purchase

I ordered this 01/03. On the eve of 01/04, I read the reviews about it shooting hot unpopped popcorn kernels, the top melting, and billowy smoke. Then I tried cancelling online plus calling Amazon customer service. They said it was on its way, would try and stop it, but if they weren't able to, I could just send it back for a refund. When I got it today, I just decided to try it and see how it goes.

There are some things you should know:

1. There is no On/Off. If you have it plugged in, it is hot and heating. It comes with a red slip that warns, if you have it heating without popcorn in it, it can damage/melt the cover. It's possible this could be why some have reported melting. You don't preheat this. Before you plug it in, everything needs to be ready. The popcorn needs to be in there and the butter warmer on top.

2. It only runs 2.5 min or so for a batch. Refrigerated butter won't melt enough in that time. You have to use soft butter in the butter melter or butter that has been softened in the microwave.

3. If you add popcorn over the fill line, YOU WILL BE SORRY. It will overheat, smoke, and shut off. You must be extremely careful not to overfill it.

4. If you add a really small amount, you'll get more unpopped kernels that will spit out while it's warming. I put a metal strainer under it instead of a large bowl. On the bright side, hot unpopped kernels don't shoot across the room or anything. You just get a some that spit out into your bowl you've placed under it.

With all that, you might be surprised I gave it a 4. I did because I had fun making it and the popcorn was delicious. If you buy this, just be aware there are certain rules in using this and you need to abide by them. I've decided to keep this.

Goes from terrible to tolerable with a simple modification

Bywisnijon June 16, 2016

Size: NoneColor: Red/BlackVerified Purchase

I like the idea of air poppers in general, and I've been looking for a good implementation of the idea for a while now. I was hoping this one was it, but out of the box I ran into the same problem many other reviewers noted: namely, it throws unpopped kernels out of the chamber constantly during the heating process. Looking at a few other models, in particular this fountain-style popper, I thought about making some sort of a guard to prevent the kernels from flying out before they're popped. After a little trial-and-error I hit upon the solution pictured in the attached photo. It's just a few doubled-over layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, folded around the underside of the chute to hold it in place, and then crimped in the middle to form a sort of wall or barrier. Kernels that get ejected before they've popped hit this wall and bounce back down into the popping chamber rather than flying all over the kitchen. Once the popcorn starts popping in earnest and kernels are no longer bouncing around so randomly, the foil piece can be slipped off the front to allow the popped corn to pour into the bowl freely. (Be careful as the foil may be hot.)

I'm leaving my rating at 3 stars, because it's a bit ridiculous to have to resort to this sort of aftermarket hack to make a product usable in practice. Still, once the guard is in place it performs well enough in other respects.

If you love dud kernels and a long, meaningful air popping experience, do not buy this popper.

ByAlexanderon February 12, 2016

Size: NoneColor: Red/BlackVerified Purchase

My wife and I love air popped popcorn. Her favorite part is the duds at the bottom of the bowl, and I always enjoy the slow routine of the air popping experience. Three scoops of kernels, plenty of time to measure and microwave the butter while I wait for the bowl to fill. In the meantime, sit and ponder the meaning of life as the popcorn slowly spills out of the popper. She saw this popper and thought it was cuter than our current boxy purple one, so I figured, "why not?" Looks sort Christmas-y! So to the Christmas list it went.

I was intrigued by the difference in design to our old popper, and after opening it Christmas morning, she of course wanted some fluffy, buttery wonder. Into the kitchen I went. Tossing the directions, I dump in three scoops of kernels, and smile, as now it's time to get out the butter and contemplate. As I begin the timer, I notice it's been a few seconds longer than usual with no popping. "Interesting," I think to myself, "this new popper allows me more time to think while I wait. This is nice."

Suddenly, it happens. All the popping begins at once. "Oh, okay I suppose it must be a bit faster overall. Oh well, that's okay I suppose," as the popcorn begins gushing from the spout. It fills the bowl to the line of the previous purple popper in just moments, but it doesn't stop! I don't understand what's happening, I used the same amount of kernels as always! What is this new red popper doing?? The bowl begins to overflow. All over the counter, some barreling into the sink and even more dropping to the floor! I grab another bowl to catch the overflow. "It's so fluffy, it weighs almost nothing," I realize as the second bowl begins to overflow. And abruptly, just as quickly as it began, it stops. I hear a single kernel bouncing in the popper as I give up trying to save them from the floor. "It can't be," I think to myself. "Where are all the duds?" I ask myself as the microwave tells me the 16 seconds for the butter is complete, and the final, lonely kernel gives a weak, yet audible "poof", and leaps onto the mountain that was once an empty bowl. "16 seconds? All of this, in just 16 seconds?" my mind tries to comprehend as I stare into the emptiness I have come to expect be filled with dud kernels and peaceful contemplation.

Forlorn, I mope into the living room, empty handed. Sitting on the couch, I look into those beautiful brown eyes and break the news. "Honey. There aren't any duds." I see those eyes begin to well up with tears. I grab hold of her and sob, "and I will never understand the meaning of life. Damn you! Damn you National Presto 04860 Poplite Hit Air Popper!"

Used it 3 times and it stopped working and when it did work, it shot most of the kernals out of the popper before popped. Maybe a defective one.

Great popcorn maker

Air popped is just better. I've tried other methods but always come back to air popped popcorn.

Works well for roasting coffee with the addition of a metal tube to keep beans from popping out. Be sure to stir almost constantly.Read more

A capable popper that costs less than many other models

This is the first hot air popcorn popper I have ever used. I find that works well, with a single drawback. It produces popcorn quickly that is large, light and fluffy.Read more
