Title: Wow! This actually works really well!
Review: 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.

Title: No flying kernels
Review: This popper is so much better than the majority of poppers out there in that none of the kernels go flying out and all over the counters and floor. I also love that it comes with its own bowl.I have been using it for a few months now and am finally used to removing and replacing the red cover for the vents at the bottom of the bowl. The cover needs to be off for popping when the popping shield is face down. Then when you are going to use the fountain shield as a bowl, you put the cover over the vents again so nothing falls through as you turn it over.The unit is a little pricey but I am really enjoying it.I've tried Jiffy pop and Orville Redenbacher corn, and the latter definitely comes out better.You do have to stay with the popper while it pops because there is no on/off switch and any popped corn in the feed tube of the fountain will burn. But that's not a big deal at all.To keep the corn fat free and low calorie, I make a salt spray that consists of 1 cup hot water to 1 tbsp sea salt and put it into a food grade (Misto pump) spray bottle. Adds a ton of flavor.

Title: Best air popper on the market
Review: I absolutely love this popper. Honestly thought it looked pretty dorky at first but that changed after my first use. It makes perfect corn every time. And it's fast! The popcorn fountain is cool to watch and lands right in the bowl. Leaves very few unpopped kernels and they are easy to sift out through the vent holes in the bottom of the bowl.I don't eat my corn our of the included bowl, I always dump it into something else. I think everyone needs one of these poppers. They are awesome. Just plan for some extra storage space. It's well worth it though.

Title: Here’s the deal
Review: I’ve bought this at least two times. The first 1-2 stopped working, or so I thought. Then I figured out my issue. If you fill it even a tiny bit too much, it will turn on and then stop. Once I figured this out, I took out a little and it worked again. It works well other than that. I just don’t love heating up plastic.

Title: Orville Redenbacher's Presto Hot Air Fountain Popper
Review: 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱!It pops really quickly (the video was sped up but the actual video is 4:48 from start to finish. I plugged it in at 1:23 and it started popping at the 3:00 minute mark and finished by 3:58). So, less than 2 minutes to reach the heat level necessary to start popping. It had very few hulls and only 6 unpopped kernels. I used Orville Redenbacher's popcorn and then drizzled Orville Redenbacher's Butter Flavored Oil and Topping on it along with a little salt. DELICIOUS 😋There is no odor, smoke, it's not really loud and my popcorn was not wet/damp but really fluffy (make sure you read the instructions and remove the red lid before popping. Put it back on when it done popping, if you want to use the cover as a bowl). It's also easy to clean.

Title: Great Popper!
Review: Pros: This popper is great. Easy to use, easy to clean, makes great popcorn. I'll never buy another bag of microwave popcorn.Cons: (Not a con for the popper, but for the corn) I don't recommend Orville Redenbacher's Original kernels. I don't know if they are more explosive than others or what, but they throw unpopped kernels all over the counter and floor (and it really hurts to step on one in my stocking feet).Using the same amount of Jolly Time Select kernels, I have very few unpopped kernels, and the few that I do get stay in the popper. I find about one quarter as many unpopped kernels with Jolly Time. I've only used the 2 brands so I can't comment on any others.

Review: First use with 1/2 cup as instructed yielded 5 unpopped kernels left. 3 fell out into the cover when you flip it over, the other 2 were mixed in the batch. Not bad.....cant really complain about that! The kernels were partly opened as well, so maybe if I would have left it for a few seconds longer they would have popped. I guess this has a lot to do with the quality of kernels you are using no doubt. I bought the variety pack of Amish Country which was used in this first go around.The popper was easy to use. I plugged it in and let in run for a minute or two with no popcorn or the bowl on to let the element burn in a bit. Then I added some kernels and put the cover on. Make sure you have the red cover OFF so it can vent the hot air out the top.After the popping stops you have a full bowl of fluffy popcorn! Now you put the red cover on and flip it over. Pretty easy.I didn't find the machine got hot at all, but I only made 1 bowl. The sides were slightly warm.The one thing I wish it had was a switch. I'm not understanding the reason to omit this. Maybe they don't want it flipped it over while its plugged in?Unplugging it from the wall while in use you could easily knock the unit over because it has a pretty short cord. Residential receptacles really aren't designed to handle arcing either. I didn't see any big flash or anything but I know its happening.Other than that the machine worked great! Enjoy your popcorn! 🙂

Review: Me había surgido la inquietud desde hace tiempo por adquirir una maquina de estas para hacer palomitas, más que nada por el factor de lo saludables que son al prepararlas con solo aire caliente, vaya, 100% naturales .Después vino la decisión de elegir alguno de los muchos modelos que hay aquí en Amazon, pero luego de una búsqueda de varios minutos, encontré este que me encanto.Lo primero que me gusto fue su diseño, es algo que llama mucho la atención y luce muy bien en donde se coloque. Además el ver trabajar a la máquina mientras se hacen las palomitas resulta hasta divertido, ver como van saliendo hacia arriba como una fuente de palomitas.En cuanto a su funcionamiento que a final de cuentas es lo más importante, no tengo ningunaqueja al respecto. La máquina cumple a la perfección con su funcionamiento, las palomitas se hacen perfectamente bien, estoy seguro que jamás había comido unas palomitas caseras que estuvieran tan bien hechas como salen con esta máquina.Cieto que la maquina no tiene un botón de encendido/apagado y que solo se prende/apaga mediante el enchufe a la luz, esto a mi en lo particular no me pareció ningún inconveniente, ya que yo acostumbro a desenchufar todos mis aparatos que solo se utilizan ocasionalmente, así que el enchufar y desenchufar de laz luz para poner a trabajar la máquina lo sentí hasta algo "natural".En mi búsqueda llegué a leer unas reseñas muy absurdas con respecto al sabor de las palomitas, de gente que se queja diciendo que "no saben a nada". Pues obvio, son 100% naturales, las palomitas naturales que mucha gente consume son tipo Act ll, las cuáles obviamente no son 100% naturales.Ya de uno depende agregarles un poco de sabor, rociarles un poco de salsita de botella y luego agregarles un poco de sal, quedan muy ricas así.También esta la opción de ponerles mantequilla derretida una vez que ya están echas, pero esto ya les quita bastante ese factor de saludables por el tema de la grasa. La mantequilla la recomiendo solo muy de vez en cuando. Yo lo hago solo una vez cada 2 o 3 semanas.Otra recomendación importante es que no rebasen la línea interior que marca el llenado máximo de la maquina, yo lo hice en una ocasión y provoque que la máquina se sobrecalentara. No pasa nada, solo se apaga y hay que dajarla enfriar para que vuelta a encender, pero obviamente lo ideal es que nunca ocurra esto para no desgastar el mecanismo y de alguna manera acortar la vida útil de la máquina.En resumen y ya habiéndole dado uso por más de un mes, definitivamente recomendó esta máquina al 100%. Funciona super bien, palomitas naturales perfectamente bien hechas, un diseño muy padre y llamativo, y en lo personal hasta el precio se me hace bastante bueno.El artículo es enviado por Amazon USA, el cual me llego en perfecto estado.

Review: hace una gran cantidad de palomitas y en menos de dos minutos. Muchos reportan que se sobrecalienta y deja de funcionar, pero es que no leen las instrucciones, claramente dice que no mas de media taza, si echan mas corre el riesgo de sobrecalentamiento. Ademas con un cuarto de taza y se hace la misma cantidad que con las palomitas de sobre que se compran en las tiendas, no es necesario echarle tanto.
