Product Description

Product Description

The Nostalgia NHAP501RD 12-Cup Hot Air Popcorn Maker is tabletop sized party pleaser with its wonderfully designed replica of the old-fashioned, street-corner popcorn stands of the early 1900s and is a table-top sized party pleaser. The electric popping system uses hot air instead of oil, producing a light and healthy popcorn snack. Includes a measuring cup to ensure the proper number of kernels are used in the hot air popcorn popper, and the clear top housing allows for easy viewing. Measuring cup also works great for melting butter! Enjoy the fresh taste of hot popcorn in minutes.

Amazon.com

A plastic replica of the familiar, old-fashioned, street-corner popcorn stand, this delightful tabletop-size electric popper not only pops corn but also props up the spirits of everyone in sight--or within aroma range. Because it employs hot air instead of oil, the popper produces a healthful, low-fat snack. With a capacity of 3-1/2 ounces of kernels, the popper pops enough corn in its chamber to please a family, several dorm roommates, or an office crowd--and sends it cascading through a chute into a waiting bowl. A measuring cap ensures the proper amount of kernels is poured into the top before the unit is turned on. After one batch is made, the popper must cool for 15 minutes before another is begun. The popper measures 16-3/4 inches high, 7-1/4 inches wide, and 9-1/2 inches deep and carries a 90-day warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Nice hot air popcorn popper
This Nostalgia popcorn popper is very good. Does a great job. About 90% of the kernels pop. Light weight, easy to clean, quiet, looks good, and great price. The switch is not illuminated which doesn't really matter. My old one didn't even have a switch. It looks like a reflector. 2 oz. of kernels makes 16 cups. Quality made, highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real Time Video of First Use
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
This is first use of this product although we have had several popcorn machines over the years. Overall, easy to operate and is as described. Only drawback is it doesn’t pop enough popcorn to fill a bowl and there were a lot of kernels left. Had to go two times to fill the bowl (only allows for one video per review, so this is the first). Oh, by the way, the wheels don’t turn/roll which would have made it more nostalgic and fun. But oh well. Enjoy.

La verdad es un muy bien producto es exactamente lo que buscaba y pedí, fácil de usar son aceite nutritivas, no se queman las palomitas ovio hay que seguir una serie de pasos para que no se quemen tal y como dice el instructivo, la única mala experiencia que eh tenido con la maquina es al momento de limpiarla, se las recomiendo para quien piense en comprarla el precio me pareció genial.
