American Originals EK0493 Healthy Fat-Free Electric Hot Air Popcorn Maker, 1200 W, Red

Product Information

Able to have your popcorn ready in 3-5 minutes, this is the perfect popcorn maker to assist with your last-minute cravings and film nights. While watching the popcorn whizz out of a machine is a big part of the fun, it can be a bit of a safety hazard with little ones around, not to mention a bit of a chore to clean up if the bowl isn't positioned in the correct place. We may receive free products and services from brands and manufacturers and/or place ads, but these do not influence our content and product rankings. The clever design has a lid which sits inside and rises with the popcorn and the container can collapse to just over two inches in height when not in use, meaning this is an excellent option if you’re short on space.

Plus, you can smell the popcorn too – great if you’re entertaining, not great if you’re trying to keep it all to yourself! This popcorn maker is ideal for two people, as it pops the kernels directly into the detachable bowl - meaning as little effort and cleaning as possible. Thanks to the open chute design that funnels popped corn out the front, you can make plenty for two to three people.It is placed directly on the hob and, as the popcorn is heating, you turn the handle to operate the rotation device which keeps the popcorn moving so it cooks evenly.

This retro-style popper not only looks the part but makes loads of fresh, tasty popcorn in next to no time. Air poppers are the healthiest way to make popcorn as no oil or butter is needed, although traditionalists may prefer one that heats the corn kernels with oil or butter. Finally, we looked at popcorn makers that were ranking highly on bestseller lists and those that had first-class reviews on retailer sites. Before planning your next movie night, you should take the step of investing in a proper popcorn machine for a more authentic experience.We've got guides to the best ice cream makers, the best waffle makers, the best smoothie makers and the best pasta makers, all featuring product recommendations from Mumsnetters.
