We realized how much that we were consuming, making our popcorn at home with any oil in the pan so we decided to buy this air popcorn maker. We tried it immediately and were so very happy with the results. The popcorn is light perfectly popped not burnt and fat free! we do add a little bit of salt to our popcorn sometimes some other seasonings, but now we can enjoy a low-calorie fat-free snack. There is a smidgen of waste with leftover popcorn kernels, but it wasn’t a bad amount. Probably about the same as when we pop it ourselves. Would definitely recommend this to anybody.
