Presto 04869 Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper - Built-In Measuring Cup + Melts Butter, Easy to Clean, Built-In Cord Wrap, 18 Cups, Aqua/White

Compré esta máquina de palomitas y, sinceramente, no puedo recomendarla. 1. No tiene botón de encendido/apagado. Hay que conectarla y desconectarla directamente de la corriente, lo cual es muy incómodo. Alternativamente, hay que usar un adaptador con interruptor. Esto me parece inaceptable para un electrodoméstico. 2. La tapa superior es inestable y constantemente se mueve o se cae, lo que también resulta bastante molesto durante el uso. 3. En cuanto al resultado, no puedo decir que haga palomitas especialmente buenas. En mi experiencia, no hay una diferencia significativa frente a las que se hacen en microondas. Es la primera vez que utilizo una máquina de este tipo, así que no sé si esto es común en esta categoría. Sin embargo, según mi experiencia personal, no quedé satisfecho y no la recomendaría.

Great little popper! Almost no unpopped kernels, each piece crisp and fluffy and in just a couple of minutes. It’s to easy to use and clean. The butter well with handle is perfect as a cover for the top and it melts fat rapidly. I use virgin coconut oil which is harder to melt but it worked perfectly. It’s just really well designed for ease of use and very compact so it takes very little space on the counter. I will caution that the handle of the butter well gets really hot and maybe use a dishcloth or other barrier when lifint it or you may get a hot oil burn. Depending on how much you eat, this easily serves two to four people. I highly recommend this product, but we’ll see how long it lasts - appliances wear out so rapidly these days. I’ll report back on that.

Great quality and I’m loving my air popped popcorn! I like it that you don’t have to ad any oil to pop it. It tastes so good even without anything added to it. Only complaint would be that it doesn’t have an on and off switch. You just plug it in when you’re using it and unplug to turn it on. Overall I’m happy with it though!

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this popcorn maker. I know some users find the lack of an on/off switch annoying, but that part doesn’t bother me. I’ve tried kernels from different brands, and one of them in particular worked so well. The popcorn comes out fresh and tasty, and only a few unpopped kernels remain in the machine. However, this machine is messy. If I fill the measuring cup only halfway, it throws most of the kernels out of the machine. Because I don’t want to deal with that, I always use a full scoop. Sometimes popped kernels get stuck inside, and I have to tilt the machine to release them. The machine blows hot air so forcefully that toward the end, a lot of popcorn ends up outside the bowl and all over the place. Occasionally, the popcorn shoots out like a little bullet, hitting the bowl and causing already-popped kernels to bounce out. Despite all this, I have to admit that I still like using this machine. I’m tired of spending a fortune on store-bought popcorn that isn’t even very healthy, so this feels like a better alternative.

After trying several different ones we decided to give this one a shot. We are keeping this one. It works great, Highly recommended.
