The YASHE Retro is the cheapest 1200W hot-air popper in this ranking: £18.73, ranked third in Amazon's popcorn popper category, with 4.3 stars from 892 ratings and a measuring cup included.

It takes fourth because it is the best value among the electric machines and the third most popular, and because a buyer in its own reviews supplies the tip that matters: fill the kernel chamber only halfway and it pops better.

## Questions people ask

**How much should I put in?**

A buyer in the reviews says to only half fill the kernel chamber, which is good advice for any hot-air popper: overfilling drops the pop rate.

**Is it oil-free?**

Yes, it uses hot air circulation, so no oil is needed.

**What is 16 cups?**

A serving estimate: cups are how popcorn is portioned, one per person. It is not a measure of the chamber.

**Does it come with anything?**

A measuring cup is included.

**Why is it not first?**

The silicone bowl has sixteen times its sample and costs £9.99; this is the best value if you want an electric machine.

**How many ratings does it have?**

892 at the time of collection, averaging 4.3 stars, with 63 per cent five-star and 6 per cent one-star.
