Popcorn Popper Styles

Get poppin' with the right popcorn popper

With so many different styles of popcorn poppers available, it's easy to find one that fits your needs, whether it's for your home or office. Here's an overview of some popular styles to consider.

Small, medium, or large?

Popcorn poppers come in a number of different styles, from ones that boast an antique look to stainless steels ones that are sleek and modern. But before you can choose a style, you have to select a size.

If it is for your home, chances are a small or medium-sized unit would suffice. These include stovetop popcorn poppers as well as fireplace units. However, if you plan on using this in a place of business, you should consider larger ones that were designed for commercial use.

Styles to consider

Once you have determined which size is appropriate for your needs, you can begin to think about the different styles.

Hot air popcorn poppers: This is one of the more popular styles because it requires no oil, providing a healthy way to make a tasty treat. Leaving practically no unpopped kernels, these popcorn poppers also are known for their efficiency.

Commercial popcorn poppers: To pop large amounts, commercial popcorn poppers are usually the best way to go. These units, which are commonly found in movie theaters, provide a great-tasting snack, which is precisely why they are so popular.

Popcorn popper carts: These popcorn poppers provide more than just a tasty treat. Often times they have a vintage look that adds unique appeal and a sense of style to the room.

Counter-top popcorn poppers: Designed for both commercial use and home use, these counter-top popcorn poppers are popular because they combine the style of popcorn popper carts with the power and convenience of the commercial popcorn poppers.
