Pros: Wonderful! Easy to Use, not messy, no moving parts!
Cons: None
Summary: Say, “Orville Redenbacher?” to anyone and, chances are, they’ll reply with “POPCORN!” So when I saw his signature on the Presto PowerPop™ lid, I was sold. Not that the word Presto isn’t enough to sell me on a ... read more

Pros: Great tasting popcorn with few unpopped kernels.
Cons: The need for the concentrators and the fact that they aren't compatible with my microwave.
Summary: I bought the Presto Powerpop Multi-Popper as an alternative to traditional air poppers which tend to be noisy and messy. So far, I have been really disappointed, not with the quality of the popped corn, but with the concentrators you are required to use ... read more

Pros: Much cheaper/healthier than microwave popcorn; much easier than the stovetop method
Cons: PowerCup inserts hard to find in stores (but can be purchased online)
Summary: Microwave popcorn can be expensive if you buy a lot of it (by that, I mean a box, containing 3 bags, typically runs around $2). On the other hand, you can buy a whole pound of popcorn kernels for less than that and get a lot more popcorn for your buck. ... read more

Pros: Very low calorie, Fast, Healthy
Cons: Purchasing PowerCup concentrators
Summary: My kids love popcorn and ask for it on a regular basis. Popcorn doesn’t really cost that much in bags, but it does cost a lot more than kernels. There is a lot of unnecessary additives and oils in bags of popcorn translating to a lot of fat and ... read more

Cons: powercups and small amount of popcorn

Pros: Pops faster than a microwave bag. Tastes like "old-time" popcorn.
Cons: Hard to clean, you must use disposable "popcorn concentrators"
Summary: I'm a fanatical popcorn lover. I like popcorn soaked down with theater style butter and salty like the ocean. For years, I've been using microwave popcorn. I remember how the "old fashioned" popcorn used to taste when you cook it in a pot and you get ... read more

Pros: Air-popped popcorn that's not chewy -- you heard me.
Cons: Requires you to replace the concentrator, so buy many refills.
Summary: In the '70s, America began a love affair with hot-air popcorn poppers. In every kitchen, next to every Hot Dogger and Fry Daddy, sat a Popcorn Pumper, a Great American Popcorn Machine or some similar appliance. "Popcorn popped without oil? Say it ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, pops quickly, tastes good
Cons: Base can get hot, keep small children away
Summary: We bought this popper after using an air popper for several years. My husband didn't like the way the popcorn tasted, kind of chewy, not like "real" popcorn, so we got rid of our air popper, and began looking for another one. We found this, and ... read more

Cons: If you don't listen closely enough you can burn the popcorn (as with any other microwaved popcorn)
Summary: My husband surprised me and purchased this popper a few days after I told him I wanted to start eating plain popcorn as a snack (I'm on a diet) and needed a new popcorn popper. I expected to purchase and electric one. When he came home from the store ... read more

Pros: Pops good popcorn without oil.
Cons: Small batches, popcorn "sweats" in the bowl.
Summary: Being unable to find an air popper at my local superstores, I decided to try this microwave popcorn popper. I have found the PowerPop to be a competent popper, even without adding any oil with the popcorn kernels. My only concern, that my microwave was ... read more

Summary: I eat popcorn at least 4 times a week - and use my Presto PowerPop every time.

Pros: Light and fluffy popcorn
Cons: Hard to find concentrator inserts
Summary: This product was given to me as a Christmas present since I am a great lover of popcorn. This popper pops almost all of the kernels in only 2:20 second in the microwave. The drawback which drives me crazy is that once you run out of power cup ... read more

Pros: easy to use, great popcorn
Cons: expensive, hard to locate refills
Summary: Last Christmas, a family member heard I was desperate for a popcorn fix but short on kitchen space. I didn't want a huge air popper, but I was sick of pre-buttered microwave popcorn bags.
The PowerPop was the perfect answer. It's small - I ... read more
