Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper Review Summary

Forget the expensive bags of microwave popcorn say our reviewers. Buy a Presto PowerPop Microwave popcorn popper. It works with any brand of loose popcorn, so the popcorn maker pays for itself in just a few uses. The unique design allows popcorn fans to pop up corn with or without oil, so this popper is more versatile than other popcorn makers. You do need to buy paper trays that fit in the bottom of the microwave popcorn popper. The trays can be used around twelve times with oil or twenty-four times if not using oil. The little trays can be difficult to find, but one reviewer said that Wal-Mart usually has some in stock. Reviewers say this is a really handy kitchen gadget that is easy on the budget and also makes really tasty popcorn.

I received a Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper years ago as a gift and happy to see they are still making them. You can make popcorn with or without oil and either way the popcorn pops up great. The popcorn maker uses two innovations that helps  microwave radiation onto the popcorn. First is a removable base that locks onto the transparent bowl. Second is a disposable paper tray that fits into the bowl's bottom. A package of eight cups accompanies the unit, and others can be purchased separately. Each is good for about 12 batches when used with oil or 24 without oil. Both bowl and...

I eat popcorn at least three times a week.  It is my snack of choice.  I have enjoyed the convenience of the Presto Power Pop for over 20 years - -I am on my third one!  The thing I like best is you can pop without oil and then add butter to your popped popcorn!  Regular popcorn is MUCH cheaper than microwave popcorn, and with the Power Pop you get the convenience of microwave popcorn, the healthy aspect of air popping and the thriftiness of plain popcorn!  The only thing I don't care for is having to replace the paper trays, but, again, if you don't use oil they last much longer.

Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper (Powerpop) is great! After I got one, my Nephew, age 8 wanted one. So he asked for one for Christmas! It works with or without the paper disks that go in the bottom, is dishwasher safe, and can be wiped out between uses. I LOVE it!  I always find the paper trays at Wal-Mart.  I use the popper as a bowl so I don't have to dirty another one.

My mother has a Presto PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper and I always loved movie and popcorn night.....when I moved away from home popcorn never tasted the same unless I went through the trouble of popping it in a pan on the stove, or went to the movies and paid outrageous prices for it!  For my Birthday recently my mom bought me one and she bought lots of extra paper trays for me also since they are harder to come by. We are a dedicated Presto PowerPop family---even my brothers have one!  If you Love Popcorn you will Love it even more when you use this item---I Guarantee it!

Presto microwave popcorn popper: great item! pops MOST of the kernels, the ones it doesn't pop you can leave in the bottom and re-pop to finish them off although it tells you not to. The only downside to it is that you can't put butter in it to get a good buttery taste. you have to melt butter separately and pour it over top if you want it.

My mother n law gave us one of these and it works awesome. We've used it 4 years now and we make popcorn using Olive Oil. It's an easy and yummy way to make popcorn. You can also buy the little cups in bulk for a low price online, but you can use the same cup for months before you really have to replace it. We love it!

I recieved this popcorn popper as a gift.  I absolutely love it!!!  I will never buy the bagged microwave popcorn again.  The presto popper makes great popcorn, and I know that it is healthier than the bagged microwave popcorn.

Absolutely love this popcorn maker. It is way better than microwavable popcorn bags. Tastes fresh and can control oil, butter and salt.

I've tried a few microwave popcorn poppers that were even less expensive and they always ended up cracking after a few weeks of daily use.  (I like my popcorn, OK?)  I hesitated to try the Presto Microwave popcorn popper because of the paper insert (the "concentrator") that you place in the bottom.  It seemed like just another thing that would make the process more complicated than it needs to be.  I mean, microwave popcorn in the pre-filled bags is so easy!  Except for the sodium and chemicals involved.  Anyway, I finally bought this when a friend told me that her sister loves hers.  I...

The Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper is the greatest popcorn popper ever!  I bought mine about a year and a half ago and absolutely love it.  I was a big fan of the microwavable bags for the longest time, but then I heard stories of the so called 'popcorn lung' in the news and that was the end of the microwave popcorn for me.  So I started searching for a way to make popcorn in the microwave without a bag or oily butter and I found this.  It's great -- I can make plain organic popcorn without any harsh ingredients or chemicals in the popper and it comes out just perfect....

I was/am very pleased with Presto's PowerPop Microwave Popcorn Popper.  It is easy to use; easy to clean; can be used with or without oil, with or without salt and with or without butter.  I have been able to reuse the popping cardboard/paper inserts several times each and find they are worth the money in the long run. 

I really like that you can just pop, remove from the microwave and start eating without dirtying any more dishes.  The resulting popcorn is healthier that microwave popcorn popped in bags with the additives and artificial ingrediants.  I can control how much oil, butter and...

This popcorn maker has made life so much easier!  No more burnt bags of popcorn.  The taste this popper offers and its easy use and setup are qualities that drew me to the product originally.  Basically you use the kernals, oil, pouring both together into the popper before placing in the mirowave.  It is nice because you are not forced to turn on the stove to pop the kernals.  Our microwave pops a full popper in under 2 minutes, and this fresh air popped popcorn is an entire family hit.  Plus, the heath benefits from this popcorn make microwave popcorn a thing of the past in our family. Look...

I was skeptical when my husband bought the Presto Microwave Popper and a bag of popcorn kernels.  It has proven to be one of the best, purchases that we have made in the last several years.  No more preservatives and toxins from traditional microwave popcorn. With the popper you use can use very little oil (maybe no oil is possible?) and nearly every kernel pops every time.
