Best Hot Air Popcorn Makers
Hot air poppers make the lightest, lowest-calorie popcorn and clean up in seconds because no oil ever touches the chamber. We ranked the three hot air machines in our database by capacity, popping speed, butter-tray convenience and how loudly they run, so you can pick the right oil-free popper for your counter.
Short answer: The Presto PopLite 04820 is our top hot air pick: 18 quarts per batch, a built-in butter tray, and the strongest owner-review record in this group for under $25.
