Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Easy and inexpensive way to pop
Comment: I bought this product as a gift. I already own one and love it. We use it almost daily. I have to re-order the cups used to hold the popcorn and oil but this can be done at presto.com. All the kernals pop and it is quick and easy...and cheap. A bag of popcorn is a little over a $1 and makes much more than 3 bags as sold on the shelves. You only need 1/3cup, so the bag makes many bowls of popcorn!

Summary: Take control of your popcorn!
Comment: I bought this product just over a year ago, and an evening bowl of popcorn has become an addiction since then. You have complete control over what your popcorn is like. I pop the kernels without oil. Often there are three or four unpopped kernels in the bottom. You save a ton in popcorn costs as well as avoiding all those nasty chemical additives that affect the taste of pre-bagged microwave popcorn.

If you pop it without oil like I do, you can drizzle on some oil or melted butter if you like. I use a Misto oil sprayer (available on Amazon) to add a thin layer of oil, then sprinkle on a bit of salt or some popcorn seasoning from the store, shake it all up a bit, and enjoy!

Summary: Taking Off 1 star for the disposable concentrators, otherwise it's great.
Comment: My husband is very serious about wanting popcorn as a snack, and we've gone through 3 stir-crazy popcorn makers in less than 3 years because he has popcorn nearly every night. We don't like air popped corn, so when I saw this I was pretty excited. We used it in our microwave, which is one of the biggest counter-tops available - perhaps that's why some of the others have had trouble, because it probably needs room around it for circulation or something. You also have to listen to make sure you turn it off when the popping slows. Anway, I used 1/3 cup of Orville Redenbacher yellow and a bit over 1 tb oil, and it popped beautifully. I've made 3 batches so far and am still on the first "concentrator". Nearly every kernal popped, and there was no burning. Perfect, perfect popcorn. I only took off one star because of the disposable concentrators; they should find a way to make some that are durable. Otherwise, if you are serious about your popcorn, this is the gadget to have.

Summary: better than expected
Comment: this popped almost all the popcorn in 2 min 45 seconds vs the microwave bags that took 3.5 minutes. i was surprised how well this worked with the power concentrator (available from manufacturer for only $1.53 pack of 8) and will be able to stop using the diactyl laden microwave popcorn bags!

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I love this product. I have purchased it as a gift and the recipiant enjoyed it so much that she purchased it for several members of her family. It is less expensive to make popcorn this way then with the microwave bags and much healthier and lower in calories.
