PrestoOrville Redenbacher's Fountain Hot Air Popper Popcorn, 20 Cups, Red

I have purchased three of these already. I purchased one for myself and two as gifts for others. This is a really fun popper and pops almost all the kernels. There are only maybe one or two that don’t pop. It’s so easy to clean. This is a great value for the money And puts out good quality popcorn.

The media could not be loaded. I'd like to give this one star because I I've had nothing but problems with the last two Presto popcorn makers I bought and I just threw them both in the trash today because I just gave up. They were spitting out so many unpopped kernels and one time the lid actually exploded off the top of one and popcorn and butter went everywhere and it was a disaster. I was even on the phone with customer support and they were useless.So I was looking for a different hot air popper. They all looked pretty awful. I think there are two or three models all made by the same company in China and very little difference between them.But this is actually very clever in the way it works.You must read the instructions, you just must. But it popped the corn as expected and I thought the little screens on the popper would filter out all the unpopped kernels, but it doesn't really work that way.First you have to take the vent cover off the clear popping bowl. Pour in your popcorn and plug it in. Depending on how it pops you may have to shake it once or twice according to the instructions. That's no big deal. After it's done popping you put the cover back on to the popping bowl. After it finishes popping, you put the cover back on top, you flip it over then you shake it up and down and then side to side and then you remove the top cover which is now at the bottom the bowl and filled with all the unpopped kernel But they're all contained within the top cover because the unpopped kernels get filtered through the vent on top of the bowl. So you can either just eat the popcorn out of the popping bowl because the kernels fall into the cover which is beneath the popcorn or take the cover off and dump the kernels, a lot of them into the trash and poured the popcorn into another bowl orr probably better yet just leave it on. I had one or two unpopped kernels. That's a miracle. If I would have let it pop just a little bit longer I probably would have had less. But that's not an issue because they all go into the bowl cover which you simply remove and toss the kernels into the trash. Or if you're not going to add butter or any other toppings you'd probably could just leave it on because it wouldn't affect the popcorn in the bowl and actually as you eat the popcorn more kernels if any are left would fall into the bottom cover. It's quite an ingenious design.I'm rambling on a bit and it's really hard to leave a review on a cell phone but this does work really well. It's extremely ingenious the way it's designed.And I would definitely recommend using Oroville Redenbacher popcorn however, because of this design you could probably use any brand. On the other Presto machines which just did not work you had to use Orville Redenbacher just to come close to get it half decent which it never really was.Read the instructions, by high quality popcorn and I think you'll be happy with this. I'm just excited I have a working hot air popper.What a confusing review.Well this is an update it was a confusing review but this is the best hot air pop I've ever had and I don't even get one unpopped kernel now. That's it.

The speed is amazing. The kernels all pop. The kids love watching it. It is easy to clean and easy to run. I have tried other poppers and they have burned the popcorn. This is why I love the fact that I turn it off myself when the popcorn stops popping. The second I do not hear any more popping, I unplug it. I saw there were some complaints that it does not automatically shut off, but I find that is a plus. There literally is not one popcorn kernel left and not one burnt piece of popcorn when you unplug it the moment you do not hear any more popping. I timed it and it pops in 60 to 90 seconds. I think I know what I am giving out for Christmas this year.

I would have given this product a 5 Star if it had a on off switch.

Worked great and does what it says - every kernel pops. Less than 2 months since I ordered, it no longer works. Base got warm but no popping. Contacted Presto and end result is they want me to ship it back but I no longer have the box, or time to drive to a FedEx location. Not happy with this customer service after I answered all their questions, did what they asked, and it still does not work. I have not received any Amazon orders that has a box large enough to ship this back to Presto. I guess I am eating the cost and getting no popcorn!! Very disappointed.

Very few unpopped kernels and those can be easily removed. Very well thought out air popper. would recommend purchase.

Way quieter than the last air popper we had. And is one leaves very few un-popped kernels. We highly recommend it!

This has been our go to popcorn popper for the last many years. Ours finally died yesterday, and I see that we had ordered our most recent one from Amazon in 2018, and we use it quite often. Of course, in the old days, a seven year run of an appliance would’ve been too short, but nowadays, for the price, I think it is a reasonable value. I agree with others, dump the popcorn into a separate bowl if you’re going to add flavor or butter, and in that case, you never really have to bother washing the top of this popper. Popcorn doesn’t fly around the kitchen like other hot poppers, we have never had burned kernels, I think it is simply a really good design overall.
