This air popper pops delicious popcorn. It is quick, fairly quiet, and the popcorn it makes is so healthy. The kernels are large and fluffy. There are almost no unpopped kernels in the bowl. We add just a small amount of butter and salt. It is so much better tasting than microwave popcorn, and better for you too.

I lost the cover for my old air popper and popping popcorn was a nightmare. I lost over half each time. This air popper pops nearly 100%. I love it!

The Presto is a typical air popcorn popper. It works well and is easy to clean. I found that the butter does not always melt entirely, but it's easier to use the microwave anyway. Air-popped popcorn is always a little chewy compared to oil popped or microwaved -- but once you get used to it, it's delicious and low-cal! We use spray Smart Balance or hot sauce. I am very happy with the purchase.

I really love air popped popcorn and I found that Presto is the only company still making an air popper. The great thing is that they make an excellent product. It leaves very few unpopped kernels and doesn't take a lot of watching to make sure the popped corn doesn't spill over. I wish there were separate arrangements for getting the corn into the popper and melting the butter while it is popping. It always takes longer to melt the butter. I'd certainly buy this popper again.

We don't eat popcorn that often but with the chemicals and preservatives in microwave popcorn, we wanted to switch to a popper. This was the kind my mom always used.
It makes popcorn efficiently enough. The popcorn comes out a little dry because of the popping by air but you can add spices or butter if you would like. When starting to pop, the first few kernels may come shooting out but I just hold up the bowl and catch the first ones. Once it gets going, the kernels come out fairly quickly and fall into the bowl without any trouble.
Overall, it is a good popcorn popper for the price.
The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders.
While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic.
But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.
