Overview

Nostalgia gives this table-top popper a retro red look and a popping chamber that swirls hot air around the kernels instead of using oil. A measuring cap assures the right amount of kernels for each batch.

Oil-free popping, a measuring cap and a quick turnaround suit casual snack nights. The limits are the batch size and a listing short on care guidance.

Who it's for

Movie nights, kids' parties and casual gatherings suit a table-top popper that fills snack bowls quickly. Those who like popping in oil, or who need large volumes, should look at a kettle machine.
