DASH Hot Air Popcorn Popper Maker with Measuring Cup to Portion Popping Corn Kernels + Melt Butter, 16 Cups - White

I’ve had this for about two years now and absolutely love it. By far the easiest so-called kitchen gadget I’ve ever had! It’s very small and light, but does a great job popping corn. Also virtually no cleanup, except to dump any unpopped kernels out. I don’t bother using it to warm the butter as I do that separately but you certainly can. All you do is snap on a plastic piece and you’re good to go. I also buy Dutchman white popcorn off of Amazon, which is also phenomenal, the two of them together are winners. My cousin bought one of these poppers and the popcorn as well and still raves about them. Honestly, it’s so cheap even if it lasted a year it would be well worth the price, but I have not had it break yet. Buy it!

At first, I measured to the shoulder of the cup. It bounced out like crazy. Hardly any kernels popped. Then, I used 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon. IThen, I only had three kernels bounce out without popping. My only wish is that the plastic was a little thicker. Butter melted perfectly. The reviews that said it doesn’t pop the kernels are most likely not using enough kernels. It needs the weight of many kernels. The measure I listed is the perfect amount to get just about every kernel to pop. Very happy for an inexpensive machine!

We don’t make popcorn a lot, so this is the perfect little popper. It’s small, cheap, and easy to store. The popcorn heats up quickly and does a good job popping the kernels. Having the little scoop that also functions as a butter/oil warmer is a nice touch. One thing, make sure you angle your bowl when popping; otherwise, you will have a bunch of random pieces of popcorn around your kitchen!

Doesn't take long to get the corn popping. I had my own healthy popcorn in a matter of minutes. The butter doesn't melt in the reservoir like it should but I'm okay with that small hiccup. I would recommend popping your own popcorn at home with this machine. Definitely tastes better than microwave popcorn bags.

I Don't like to do reviews on products like this (electronics) until I've had them for a while. However this air popper is amazing. And no this isn't a paid review in any way. I always loved microwave popcorn, there was a time I was basically eating a bag every night. Then for some reason I could only finish maybe half a bag before I felt icky. Not sure if it's the oils they use but I literally can't stand microwave popcorn, I can only eat a little. Anyways, I tried to start making popcorn on the stove top with a lid and a pot, but I couldn't get a good batch and I didn't like the taste or texture, again, the oil was making feel icky. Welp, when this arrived I tried it and used real butter and butter flavored popcorn salt and it is the best popcorn I've ever had, it's not heavy on my stomach or anything. Also, it makes popcorn really fast it's pretty crazy. I used to have an air popper years ago, but it was loud and I didn't know how to season the popcorn right. This thing is awesome for the price and I hope it lasts a while. Just be forwarned, it's a bit plasticy feeling, but hey if your not being rough with it, it might last a good while.

I absolutely love this popcorn maker. The popcorn comes out hot and doesn’t take as long as a bag in the microwave. It also has a perfect scoop for the kernels. AND…. You hardly have kernels left over!!!

I’ve had this popcorn maker since march of 2025. I make popcorn for myself and my 3 kids every single night as a snack. It only now has started to act up. Consistent use for 115 days is not bad but I wish it would have lasted longer. Honestly for the price I highly recommend this but only if you use it sparingly. I would love to leave a 5 star review but it didn’t even last 6 months. It does take a couple minutes to heat up to pop the kernels and after the popcorn is done there is always at least 10 kernels left un popped.

We've never had an air popper before so nothing to compare with, but we are happy with this one. We had bought some 'Amish Country Mushroom' popcorn that didn't pop well at all using a pan on the stovetop, no matter what temp etc. we used. Very few kernels would pop and it would end up being burned. Also, what few DID pop were small and so tough with big hulls that it wasn't really edible. Before throwing it away (a 6 lb. bag!) we decided to try this air popper. It made a world of difference, fluffy fully popped with way less old maids.It's pretty basic, small capacity (one person could easily eat a batch), and light weight. A few kernels bounce out but no big deal. I use a square ice cream bucket to catch the popcorn which works pretty well, lol. I'd recommend this if you don't need to make big batches all at once.
