Plug in Presto’s PopLite and the party begins. In less than 2-1/2 minutes you’ll have up to 18 cups--two large bowlfuls--of fluffy popcorn with virtually no unpopped kernels. And because the machine uses hot air instead of oil, the resulting snack is healthier and lower in calories. That’s not to say you can’t add butter; in fact, the 1/2-cup measuring cup on top of the popper doubles as a butter melter. Simply put in the desired amount of margarine or butter (room temperature is best), and it melts from the heat produced during the popping process. The clear plastic cover and cup, which must stay on during popping so the popped corn doesn’t fly all over the room, easily remove for hand cleaning with warm, soapy water. No other clean-up is required. While a few unpopped kernels spring out the chute as the machine begins to heats up, the chute does a good job of directing the popped corn into a bowl. The popper measures 14 by 9 by 6-1/2 inches, and (more...)

Ideal for large-size rooms, this high-velocity floor fan makes it easy to stay cool when painting the bedroom a new color or when relaxing in front of the TV on a hot summer day. Choose from low, medium, or high speed settings. The unit's three 18-inch turbo fan blades and aerodynamic wind-tunnel design deliver a powerful stream of air, while its adjustable-tilt head pivots up to 90 degrees making it easy to direct air where it's needed most. Use the floor fan on its own as an air circulator all year long or in addition to an air-conditioning or heating system to help save energy and reduce utility costs. Other highlights include top-mounted controls, a removable grill for quick cleaning, and a convenient carrying handle for simple transport from room to room. The floor fan measures 11 by 20 by 20 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

A good fan can make the difference between a sleepless and a restful night. Soleus Air's FTY-25 10-inch table fan has three speeds and a five-finned blade--five fins move more air than the traditional four--to help make a hot, stuffy room feel much cooler. In addition, it has a timer that can be set for up to two hours; that way the fan shuts off by the time the evening is cooling down. The fan head is anchored on top and bottom like a globe, allowing it 180 degrees of rotation, and the fan grill can oscillate to push air into a wider area. The FTY-25 table fan has a modern look to it, with an asymmetrical, crescent-shaped stand that curves around the circular fan head. It's built of heavy-duty silver plastic and has blue-gray detailing. It sits on two rounded feet; there are wall-mounting screw brackets on the underside of the feet. Speed selection is made with a sliding knob on the side, and there's a simple on-off toggle for the oscillation. The ti (more...)
