Summary: Does what its supposed to do
Comment: My little girls love to watch the popcorn popping and coming out of the shoot. Make sure you have a tall enough bowl.

Summary: Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper shoots popcorn everywhere
Comment: I used to have a small. inexpensive model that shot popcorn through a smaller channel that left everything in the bowl. All the reviewers were correct about this one shooting popcorn everywhere due to the force of the popping and the width of the spout. But there isn't really a decent alternative, so just use a large bowl, put it on the kitchen counter and aim it toward the wall, guide it by keeping something at the sides or putting a kitchen towel over it while it is operating, and don't overfill the chamber.

Summary: Great Product!
Comment: The corn popper is great! So much quicker and healthier than popping corn with oil. I had one that I had been using for years and was delighted when I found this replacement for my tired old corn popper.

Summary: Makes great tasting healthy popcorn
Comment: I admit I got sucked into the convenience mode and had been eating microwave popcorn for a while. I had forgotten what really good popcorn tastes like. The air-popped popcorn comes out light and fluffy and really helps to appreciate the true "corn" flavor. I have not had any problems with any appreciable number of unpopped kernels. Definitely far less unpopped kernels than from the microwave bags. I was always prone to overcooking and burning my popcorn in the microwave, anyway. Virtually no mess to clean, either.
The one drawback to air-popped in general is that it creates a large amount of noise in the process. I feel like I am near a jet engine. But then again, most of my other kitchen appliance make a lot of noise - my blender, my juicer, my mixer, etc.
I am not sure if this is a common trait of all poppers, but there is no on/off switch. Once you plug it in, it starts cranking and the only way to turn it off is to unplug it - strange.

Summary: The un-popper
Comment: This machine comes with a 1/2 cup measurer which serves as the butter melting dish too. If you use less then the full 1/2 cup measure, it throws out lots of unpopped corn. Even with the full 1/2 cup, it throws out a several unpops before it starts popping. The butter melt cup is nice, but the time it takes to pop the corn is not enough time to melt the butter...I even sliced it down to smaller pieces. Also there is no on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off - that just seems antiquated to me. I do not recommend this popcorn maker.
