Hamilton beach hot air popcorn popper popcorn maker unboxing and review
4 years ago

Hamilton beach hot air popcorn popper Fresh hot popcorn, even has a butter melter We really liked that the butter melting dish is also a popcorn kernel measure-so your not guessing how many kernals to use. We would guess an on off switch would make it easier but, the power is operated by plugging and unplugging the machine. Once the kernels were inserted and we turned the machine on, it took about 3 minutes for the popcorn to start popping. It also took 3-5 minutes to finish popping. Our butter melted in that time frame. It filled up a 20 cup bowl with fresh popcorn. We enjoyed using this product, and cant wait to use it for a fresh popcorn bar at my birthday party next month! Thanks hamilton beach!

Quick and easy popcorn! Much more convenient than the whirly pop

This popper is relatively quiet. The corn that I use (a big bag from Sam's Club) pops with about 8-10 kernels remaining. The popped corn is not as crispy as "stove-popped" using oil, but is crispier than my other air popcorn popper. I do not use the cup to melt butter, so I can not say anything about that.

makes lots of popcorn, Built solid and easy to use. Lacks a switch but unplugging to stop is also a safety feature.

I bought this product about a month ago from Walmart because I could not find the size we needed elsewhere

I bought this popper primarily because of the price and the 5 year warranty. It pops well, and I don't fret about a few stray kernels.

I tried a different kind of machine for a while. I couldn't stand it. Nothing beats an air-popper and this one is great! Plus I love the colour.

I like air popped popcorn over kettle popped, It's the oil I taste and not the corn flavor. When you remove the oil like with a microwave popper, one or two kernels burn and masks the whole lot. Who likes burnt popcorn? Not me! Sometimes a cheese flavoring nails the coup-de-gras of perfect popcorn The only reason it didn't give it a 5-star rating is the fan speed is too high and kick out several hot unpopped kernels that missed the full effect of the hot air. It wastes kernels .

Works great and is good quality. I chose this for quality instead of buying a different cheaper brand.

It has no on off switch so turns on when plugged in. Unpoped corn is blown out of popper and many unpopped kernels remain. Popcorn is so dry salt and seasonings won't stick to it.
