Review: Perfect popcorn maker! - Love this! Easy to use and always makes perfect popcorn in two minutes flat! At first, I was hesitant to buy this due to the mixed reviews but after having used this more than half a dozen times, I think I know how to avoid the kernels coming out prematurely. The only time the kernels came out without having "popped" was when I wanted to make a small batch and hence did not put enough. Dry kernels were flying out and it WAS a hazard. After that experience, I made sure to always make a full batch and I've never had that problem again. Very little mess so clean up was a cinch. Review: Worked three batches ... DO NOT BUY - DO NOT BUY - too many other choices ... had a Muller popcorn popper and it failed after using for a year every day, yes, every day, I luv popcorn. The Muller was extremely noisily so I thought I would change it up and bought the Air Crazy. SO it proved to be unreliable and not pop more than half the batch. NOW please realize the failed design that spits out unpopped kernels during popping, but then failed to pop more than half the kernels. Simply too many choices out there ... buy something else. Also its too high so the popcorn misses the bowl. ## Features - FRESH & HEALTHY: Pops using hot air, no oil, for a healthy snack for the whole family - IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY: Redesigned ventilation for improved popping performance - DUAL PURPOSE TRAY: Redesigned tray for better butter melting when popping also serves as a measuring scoop - FAST & EASY: Pop up to 4 quarts of popcorn in under 3 minutes, faster than a microwave! - CREATIVE SNACKING: Air-popped popcorn is the perfect base for many decadent snacks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08MHDCWBY | | Best Sellers Rank | #127,943 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #129 in Popcorn Poppers | | Brand Name | West Bend | | Capacity | 4 Quarts | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (611) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072244000054 | | Included Components | Popcorn Popper, Cover, Measuring/Butter Cup, Care and Use Manual | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.65"L x 5.52"W x 12.21"H | | Item Type Name | for Healthy Snacking with No Oil, Includes Dual-Purpose Measuring Cup & Butter Melter | | Manufacturer | West Bend | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | PC8448RD13 | | Part Number | PC8448RD13 | | Special Features | Manual | | UPC | 072244000054 | | Warranty Description | 1-Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** West Bend - **Capacity:** 4 Quarts - **Color:** Red - **Material:** Plastic - **Special Feature:** Manual ## Images ![PC8448RD13 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oelxbUs4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is the plastic BPA free?** A: No, the plastic is not PBA free. I used my magnifying glass and looked all over the plastic itself and read all of the information on the box. On the very bottom of the box there is a teeny tiny warning that this product can expose you to bisphenol A. **Q: Is the vent on the side or the bottom ?** A: Good Afternoon, The Motor vent of the PC8448RD13 Crazy Hot Popcorn Popper Machine is on the bottom of the unit. Thank you and have a Very Nice Day. Thank you and have a Very Nice Day. **Q: Will it work well without the clear plastic part on top that sends the popcorn down?** A: I would not buy this specific popper. It does not pop all the popcorn; leaves about 30 kernels unpopped. I'm looking to buy from a different company. **Q: Does the popping chamber utilize circular airflow or just a fan at the bottom? The older units from the 1980’s use circular air and the seeds spin.** A: I believe it is a combo; however, I returned this unit as it was poorly designed and created safety hazards. Airflow slits on side allowed random kernels to escape - they are superheatedat this point and burn skin of anyone in close contact. I reordered the WestBend Stir Crazy, which must be our 4th one in about 30 years. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect popcorn maker! *by S***N on May 12, 2021* Love this!

DO NOT BUY *by A***R on March 25, 2023* DO NOT BUY - too many other choices ... had a Muller popcorn popper and it failed after using for a year every day, yes, every day, I luv popcorn. The Muller was extremely noisily so I thought I would change it up and bought the Air Crazy. SO it proved to be unreliable and not pop more than half the batch. NOW please realize the failed design that spits out unpopped kernels during popping, but then failed to pop more than half the kernels. Simply too many choices out there ... buy something else. Also its too high so the popcorn misses the bowl. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Air Popper *by C***L on August 9, 2023* This is my second popper of this model, so you know I like it. The first one was used by a youngster who didn't know you can't melt butter in the measuring cup before measuring the popcorn. The resultant butter that got on the kernals and wound up in the device proved fatal to it, but it worked well for some years before that. It doesn't pop 4 quarts with the included meaure (about 1/2 cup), but if you put 3/4 cup of popcorn in and *gently* shake the popper (more of a vibration than a shake) a few times to keep the bottom kernals from burning, you wind up with 4 quarts of excellent popcorn. Note: I haven't tried "gourmet" popcorn, so it might give you 4 qts from the half cup. Or it might not. 🤔 One of the nice features on it is the on/off switch. I don't like the ones you have to unplug to turn off. Another good thing is that it pops more quickly than some other brands I've had in the past. My final reason for liking it is that I've always had good luck with this brand's small appliances. They work well and they last well. But, alas, butter didn't suit the works. 😉 ## Frequently Bought Together - West Bend Air Crazy Hot Air Popcorn Popper Machine for Healthy Snacking with No Oil, Includes Dual-Purpose Measuring Cup & Butter Melter, 4-Quart, Red - Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, Original Yellow, 8 lb. - Kernel Season's Popcorn Seasoning Mini Jars Variety Pack, 0.9 Ounce (Pack of 8) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/242529797-pc8448rd13](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/242529797-pc8448rd13) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
