Presto 04820 Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper – 18 Cups, Butter Melter, Yellow

Speed, simplicity, and flavor with the Presto PopLite Popcorn Popper

The Presto PopLite blends quick popping with easy operation. In under 2 1/2 minutes, you can create a generous batch of fluffy popcorn using hot air instead of oil. This approach can help keep snacking light while still delivering a satisfying crunch. A built-in butter melter on top lets you warm margarine or butter as the kernels heat, so a finished bowl can receive a buttery touch without extra steps.

Key features at a glance

Usage is straightforward: pour kernels into the popping chamber, place the cap to guide the popcorn, and optionally melt butter in the tray as the batch pops. The clear lid lets you monitor progress without spills, and the chute directs the finished popcorn into a bowl for quick serving. The unit’s bright yellow finish adds a playful touch to kitchens, dorms, or shared spaces.
