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
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).

 An Excellent Popper! December 1, 2008
Alice D. Hansmann
This popper is easy to use & pops to the last kernel. Very easy & tastes good, too.
First one failed, but second is running strong December 1, 2008
P. Rupert (Warwick, RI USA)
The first popper I got went a little spastic and didn't end up working out. It ran great for about 4 or so batches and then would not run correctly (went on and off sporadically when plugged in). I issued a return and got a new one nearly the next day, so returns are very easy. After only paying about 19 dollars for this, I didn't expect it to be a super machine, so I wasn't alarmed about the issue. I have my second one now and I'm popping away. It pops a whole batch and leaves almost no kernels at all. Great machine, I am happy with my purchase.
Works great November 6, 2008

This thing works great. Very few unpopped kernels. Works quickly -- I would say it is quicker than making microwave popcorn. The end result is healthier than kettle corn or microwave popcorn, depending of course on what you decide to top it with...
The popcorn is delicious, it works quickly, no complaints here.

The Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper we purchased several months ago has consistently been a disappointment. While it pops great corn, it does not have the on/off switch that our 20 year old one has; it hurls kernels everywhere and doesn't pop all of them. AND biggest disappointment of all, it doesn't melt butter in time for the popped corn like our old one did.
 Don't buy this just because you trust the brand. October 23, 2008

This popcorn popper is terrible. It pops maybe 1/3 of the kernels, and the flow is not very well-directed, so it blows unpopped kernels and popped corn all over my kitchen. The twelve pieces of popped corn that made it into my bowl were crunchy and delightful, but I'm going back to using a pot on the stovetop, tail between my legs. If you're thinking about buying one of these, consider just sticking a hair dryer into one end of an empty paper towel roll and pouring popcorn into the other end - you'll get about the same result, although you might want to keep a fire extinguisher handy.
