Is this an air popper or does it need oil?

Oil. I use Orville Reddenbacher, but you can use regular vegetable oil, too.

This takes oil, use coconut oil it will make your popcorn taste better and won't go bad for a VERY long time. Also I wouldn't recommend this product it is built completely wrong. The piece that you put over the top (bottom) when done will expand and fall off. Also you have to lift the COMPLETE UNIT up to turn it over. DON'T BUY

Yes you can. The corn is slightly dryer without but oil is not required. It's also easier to burn the popcorn. I have successfully done it twice; both times I really really wanted popcorn and was hard up for oil. You really only need a small amount of oil. If no oil is going to be your norm, I'd recommend an air popper.

The instructions recommend using 1 tbl spoon of oil or butter. We use canola oil and the popcorn comes out perfect every time with a minimum of unpopped kernels.

I have this corn popper and love it! This is my second, because I broke the first (my stupidity really) but I hope I am never without it!!! The popcorn is so much better than bagged microwave popcorn, and you know exactly what is in it. I have washed mine in the dishwasher many times and it has not affected the performance in any way. You can pop with or without oil!!!

This is the first popcorn maker I've purchased that uses oil. It's a great unit, makes delicious popcorn. Just be aware that sometimes the oil can get on you if you eat it straight out of the popcorn maker's plastic container. I have to empty yhe popcorn into a bowl, otherwise it may stain my shirt.

It cooks popcorn great with only 1 tsp. of oil. I've had my popper and done this for years. Peanut oil is another good oil to try. This is a great popcorn popper that pops corn like the movies do without all the added extra butter and sugar. I love drizzling some orange blossom honey and salt over mine. Salty and sweet!

I'm not sure what you mean by an "air cooker," but assume you mean without oil. Yes, it pops beautifully without oil! Hope this helps you.

Yes it can. The trick with the air popper is to plug it in and let it run for a minute or two to heat it up. Then drop the popcorn in and it will pop perfectly.

I am not sure where it is made, but my advice is to pass on this popper unless you want to unleash chaos in your kitchen. Instead buy the Nordic microwave popper...better than air popped!

You use the measuring spoons included. Two tablespoons of oil and 1/4 cup of popcorn. If your off a little bit it won't matter. Make sure the popper has warmed up before you add(5 minutes) but turn it off when you add the oil and popcorn.

You need to put 5-10 drops of air tool oil in the air inlet EVERY TIME YOU USE IT!

No oil needed. Just run it. When finished, make sure you let all of the air escape the top tank, and leave open the valve in the bottom tank so the moisture can drain.

Personally, I don't use oil at all, with a Nordic Ware 60120 Microwaver Popcorn Popper 12 Cup from here at Amazon. However, the best tasting oil for popcorn has always been peanut oil.

I use two scoops of oil (using the oil scoop that came with it) and one scoop of WHITE popcorn (using the popcorn scoop that came with it)

I am sure it would work, but I can't personally say how well it would hold up. I have only used my popper without oil. I would also like to know the answer to this.

Based on the information supplied with the nailer, it does not need oil. However in my opinion it would not hurt to add a drop of air tool oil now and then.
