The 6 Best Popcorn Makers Of 2023

*Technically* you can make stovetop popcorn with a regular pot, but where's the fun in that? The Wabash Family Farms Original Whirley Pop comes with a hand-crank to prevent kernels on the bottom of the pan from burning and to keep you out of the hot oil splash zone.

Think of the Presto Orville Redenbacher's Hot Air Popper as a mini version of your air fryer. It heats the kernels with circulation of hot air—no oil or butter needed (unless you want to throw some on afterwards).

Amazon reviewers love how convenient the Salbree Microwave Popcorn Popper is. You can snack directly out of it, then collapse the whole thing for easy storage. Plus, it's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, which is really the only way to get rid of that lingering greasy residue popcorn leaves behind.

Believe it or not, the West Bend Stir Crazy Electric Hot Oil Popcorn Popper makes up to 6 quarts of popcorn at one time—so there's no need to pause your movie to make more. Plus, there's a well that melts butter while the popcorn pops.

Set up the Great Northern Popcorn Vintage Style Popcorn Machine on your countertop, and you can make up to three gallons of popcorn. It even has a drawer that catches un-popped kernels. It's perfect for movie-night parties.

For your next solo movie night, try the snack-sized Ecolution Original Microwave Micro-Pop Popcorn Popper. It has a butter-melting feature that melts your butter as the kernels are popping.
