Global Gizmos 50900 Hot Air Popcorn Maker, 1200W with 4 Bags
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Global Gizmos is the cheapest electric popper in this ranking at £15.99: 1200W of hot air, four popcorn bags and a measuring cup in the box, a twelve-month warranty, and 717 ratings at 4.1 stars.
It takes sixth because the rating average is the lowest among the electric machines and buyers report it is noisy, but if the budget is the deciding factor it is £2.74 below the next cheapest popper that plugs in.
How those 717 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.
