Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 5,900, brand new and sealed in orange and white with its measuring cup included. The Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker uses 1200W of hot air to pop up to 60g of kernels in about three minutes, without a drop of cooking oil. It runs on 220-240V mains power through a UK-style 3-pin plug, the same type found in Kenyan homes. One button starts it. You can see and test it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for families, students in shared hostels, office break rooms and anyone hosting friends for a football match, the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker handles the snack that usually means a smoky sufuria and a stained stovetop. Pan popping burns kernels at the bottom, leaves half unpopped, and soaks the rest in oil. Hot air circulates the kernels instead, so they pop evenly and come out dry and light. You add butter, salt, sugar or chilli afterwards, and only as much as you want. Parents who watch what children snack on during school holidays like that control.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list kitchen gadgets with no after-sales support, Mascom International checks each Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker before handover and backs it with a written warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us the three-minute batch time is what turns it into a weekly habit rather than a cupboard ornament. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the measuring cup, which also melts butter on top of the machine, removes the guesswork. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to see the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker in person, or order on WhatsApp with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker
How much is the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker in Kenya?
The Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker costs KSh 5,900 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the orange and white machine, its measuring cup and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. You pay on arrival by cash or M-Pesa, with same-day delivery in Nairobi and next-business-day delivery to most major towns. If you prefer to see it first, our Kimathi Street shop opens Monday through Saturday, and we can switch it on for you at the counter.
How long does the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker take to make popcorn?
The Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker pops a batch in about three minutes, according to Porodo. There is no pan to preheat and no oil to warm, so the clock starts the moment you press the button. Each batch takes up to 60g of kernels, measured with the cup supplied. For a bigger crowd, let the machine finish one batch, empty the bowl and run the next. Three or four batches still take less time than one pot of popcorn made the traditional way on a gas cooker.
How does the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker compare with making popcorn in a sufuria?
The Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker pops kernels with hot air, while a sufuria needs oil and constant shaking over a flame. The sufuria costs nothing extra if you already own one, and it can make a bigger single batch. The Porodo wins on mess, oil and attention: no burnt base, no oil splatter, and no standing over the cooker. Pick the sufuria if you make popcorn rarely. Pick the Porodo if popcorn is a regular family snack or you want less oil in it.
Does the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker work with Kenyan sockets and power supply?
Yes, the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker runs on 220-240V at 50/60Hz and uses a UK-style 3-pin plug, which fits standard Kenyan wall sockets. No adapter or converter is needed. It draws 1200W while running, so plug it straight into the wall rather than a thin extension shared with a kettle or iron. During KPLC power cuts it will not work on a small solar lamp kit or a phone power bank. A larger inverter or generator rated above 1200W can run it.
Is popcorn from the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker healthier than microwave popcorn?
Popcorn from the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker uses no oil at all during popping, so you control every topping that goes on afterwards. Ready-made microwave bags usually come pre-mixed with oil, salt and flavouring you cannot remove. With plain kernels from any Kenyan supermarket, you decide whether to add a little butter, a pinch of salt, sugar or nothing. Parents, gym-goers and anyone cutting down on oil often find that the plain, light result suits them better. Plain kernels also cost less per bowl.
What is the measuring cup on the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker for?
The measuring cup on the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker holds 50mL and does two jobs. First, it measures the right amount of kernels for each batch, so you never overfill the chamber and push unpopped kernels out. Second, it sits on top of the machine while it runs and melts butter with the rising heat. By the time the popcorn is ready, the butter is ready to pour. Keep the cup with the machine, because overfilling is the most common reason for half-popped batches.
Is the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker noisy?
Yes, the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker is loud while running, and Porodo lists its noise level at 100dB. That sound comes from the fan blowing hot air through the kernels, and it lasts only for the three-minute batch. It is louder than a kettle, so start it before the film or match begins rather than during a quiet scene. In a small Kilimani or South B apartment, neighbours will hear a short whirr, not a long disturbance. Children usually enjoy watching the popcorn tumble out.
Who should buy the Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker and who should skip it?
The Porodo Lifestyle Popper Hot Air Popcorn Maker suits families, hostel students, office kitchens and anyone who hosts movie or match nights at home. It makes quick, oil-free batches with almost no cleaning. Skip it if you want to sell popcorn outside a school or at events, because 60g batches are too small for steady trade and a commercial kettle-style popcorn machine fits that job. Skip it too if you only enjoy popcorn cooked in oil, since hot air gives a lighter, drier texture.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Performance
- 1200W rated power — enough heat to pop a full batch quickly without any warm-up wait.
- Hot air circulation — air lifts and turns the kernels as they heat, so they pop evenly instead of burning at the bottom.
- Oil-free popping — no cooking oil needed, which means fewer calories and no oily residue on the machine.
- About 3 minutes per batch — quick enough to make popcorn during the advert break before a match restarts.
- One-button operation — press once to start, with no timers, settings or menus to learn.
Capacity and Measuring Cup
- 60g kernel capacity per batch — a family bowl for movie night, or two smaller bowls for children.
- 50mL measuring cup included — fill it to measure kernels, so each batch pops fully without spilling out early.
- Cup doubles as a butter melter — set it on top while the machine runs and the rising heat melts the butter.
- Run batches back to back for a larger group, emptying the bowl between each three-minute cycle.
- Works with ordinary popcorn kernels sold in Kenyan supermarkets and wholesale shops, with no special pods or refills.
Power and Compatibility
- 220-240V, 50/60Hz — matches Kenyan mains electricity directly, with no converter or step-down box needed.
- UK-style 3-pin plug — fits the standard sockets used in Kenyan homes, offices and hostels.
- 1-metre power cord — short, so place it near a wall socket on a stable counter or table.
- Draws 1200W while running — avoid sharing a single extension with a kettle, iron or microwave at the same time.
- Needs mains power or a large inverter — small solar kits and power banks cannot supply enough current.
Build and Materials
- PP plastic body — polypropylene is a light, heat-tolerant plastic widely used for kitchen appliances.
- Aluminium heating chamber — aluminium spreads heat evenly, which helps the kernels pop at the same rate.
- Orange and white finish — bright colours that suit family kitchens and stand out on a party table.
- Easy-to-clean design — with no oil involved, a quick wipe of the body and chute is usually all it needs.
- Noise level of 100dB — expect a short, loud fan whirr during each three-minute batch.
Inclusions and Care
- Comes with the measuring cup that also melts butter, so you need no extra kitchen tools to start.
- Unplug and let it cool fully before wiping it down, and never pour water into the heating chamber.
- Store the cup with the machine, because overfilling without it is the main cause of unpopped kernels.
- Place a wide bowl under the chute before pressing start, because popped corn leaves the machine within the first minute.
- Sold brand new and sealed at Mascom International, with a written 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
