About that no switch thing... June 24, 2008
No manufacturer of these things is adding a switch. Would it cost THAT much?

Try a Plug-in Cord switch. It's an electric plug with a switch attached to it; when the switch is at the OFF position, an appliance plugged into it gets no power. Move switch to ON, and the juice flows.

I searched on Amazon for Plug-In Switch and found this listing today:

COOPER WIRING DEVICES INC #BP4404V IVY Plug In Cord Switch
Buy new: $4.19 $3.51
6 Used & new from $2.99

so you can probably order it from Amazon at the same time as your popper, though the price may be different.

I don't have a Presto, mine is a 20-30 year old West Bend Popcorn Pumper WITH on/off switch (why I bought that one, so many years ago). It just feels safer to use a switch as opposed to pulling out the plug. But I will most likely buy a Presto (I trust the brand) and get one of these plug-in switches to use with it.

Popcorn Lover's Must-Have May 24, 2008
I've eaten popcorn almost every day for 20 years or so. I always loved it, but poppers requiring oil were messy and the product was unappetizing. Popping corn on the stove with oil (and I tried all known methods) is unreliable and also leaves an unavoidable oily taste. I've owned several of this popper over the years. Each produced hundreds of batches of corn, perfect every time, with no oil at all. No burning, either, and relatively few unpopped kernels. A little unsalted (sweet) butter, and a dash of salt, and you have not only the world's best snack, but the Food of the Gods. I don't buy "gourmet" popcorn, either. It's a shame that people spend a comparative fortune for microwave popcorn, when this tastes so much better and costs so much less. The popper is maintenance-free and needs only infrequent cleaning if you use your microwave to melt the butter instead of the cup that comes with the popper. I have tried another brand of hot air popper, because this one is hard to find. No comparison. The Presto is by far the best way to make popcorn.

How Could They Manage to Get This Wrong?! May 23, 2008
Look... The Thing makes tasty popcorn, but it's designed sooooo poorly! It used to be so easy to get a good air popper, and now they don't even know how to make them right... The kernels spew out of the chamber (unpopped) from the get go. I think it's because it doesn't spin. Our old popper growing up had a rotating chamber, so the kernels stayed put until they popped. The result was great popcorn and only like, 3 unpopped kernels per batch. This thing wastes A LOT of kernels and makes a mess in the process. I've tried many tricks to fix it but nothing really works. So sad... I miss my old popper. It finally burned out after years of daily use. We love popcorn.

great popcorn maker, needs on ON/OFF switch May 19, 2008
I don't eat popcorn, but my wife loves it. It could use an on/off switch. When you need to stop the popcorn maker quickly you have to reach for the plug, so one could even argue it a safety oversight not to have a switch. But again my wifes claims its the best she ever had.

Popcorn lover dream! May 19, 2008
forget the little bags and the microwave this is the best
I had one in the 1989 ies and again this is the best way to go air popped is recomended by diet workshops because you don't use oil and also one plus you only pop what you want to eat at this time unlike the bags you get left with popcorn !
