The Yabano is the largest-capacity popper in this ranking at 5 litres, and the only one that stirs instead of blowing: a motorised rod over a non-stick heating plate, 800W, for £33.99 with 1,157 ratings at 4.2 stars.

It takes second because 5 litres is real capacity and 1,157 ratings is real evidence. The caveat is the rate in those ratings: 8 per cent are one-star, the highest among the machines, mostly from the hot plate and the handling it demands.

## Questions people ask

**How is it different from the other machines?**

It has a motorised stirring rod over a heated non-stick plate instead of blowing hot air, and it claims a higher pop rate because the kernels keep moving.

**Does it need oil?**

No: the listing says no oil is needed, and the plate is non-stick and detachable for washing.

**How much popcorn is 5 litres?**

Enough for a party or a family; it is the largest capacity here, about five times a 1-litre machine.

**Why only 800W?**

A heating plate plus a stirrer is a different design from a hot-air element, so the wattage is not comparable.

**What should I watch for?**

The plate gets hot enough to need adult handling, and 8 per cent of its ratings are one-star.

**How many ratings does it have?**

1157 at the time of collection, averaging 4.2 stars, with 67 per cent five-star and 8 per cent one-star.
