kudos to whomever thought of the restrictors
This is my 3rd airpopper since the 80s. I saw the restrictors on the fountain and realized someone figured out the biggest problem with traditional popcorn pumpers and unpopped kernels being expelled with the early popped kernels. Kudos to the team.

Great Popper
We bought this popper over a year ago and are extremely pleased with it. We usually pop 2 one-half cupfuls in succession problem free. There are only about 8-12 unpopped kernels each time. There is one nagging comcern: 2 of the plastic bars in the top have broken without any outside force or accident and are too warped to try to repair. Have you any recommendation? I would like to send images of the top but none of the options below work.

Great Air Popper
Pops great and very few old maids when done. Nice that you don't have to worry about those errant kernels that fly out the end of a normal air popper and have them burst on the counter. The lid does a great job of dropping the unpopped kernels out the bottom.

1 batch wonder
Died on second batch after following all manufacturers instructions. First batch was a great experience for the toddlers and delicious with minimal unpopped kernels.

We are sorry to hear there was no power to your popper. In the case that your popper was overfilled or used for consecutive batches, it will possibly smoke, and shut itself off. The popper will then need a 15-minute cool down time prior to operating again. Briefly plug the popper in now that it has cooled to see if you have any power. If not, kindly reach out to us directly. Please contact Presto Customer Service Department Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central Time, by phone at 1-800-877-0441.

Popping popcorn is fun! And more nutritious!
I like the version better than the original one. The original one shot popcorn out, all over the place sometimes. I love that the popped corn is contained in the dome that is also a bowl. The one thing I wasn’t crazy about, is that the salt that doesn’t stick along with the kernels, go down in between the vents and the cover. But believe me, it sure doesn’t stop me from using it!

Pros and Cons
I like the design of the popping chamber the least amount of un-popped kernels of any air popper I tried. however after a few weeks the vent on the bowl above the popping chamber has broken in numerous places from the un-popped kernels bouncing off it. I do make popcorn almost daily but the amount of damage is has in such a short time is very disappointing, the no on/off switch is strange but not a big deal, the vibrating and sliding across the counter is also a thing, but easily prevented. if the bowl wasn't breaking this would be easy 5/5 tell a friend. but since after a few weeks it will be potentially unusable got to give it a 1

Worst popcorn maker yet. The bad reviews are right. This shoots kernels out, doesn’t pop more than half of them, there is no on/off switch, so it sparks when you unplug it, ITS HUGE, and it also smells like burning plastic when in use- which transfers to the little amount of popcorn it makes. Returned. Will just make stove top haha

Great popper!
I’ve used it a couple of times and so far it seems great. Just about all the kernels pop. I would really like it if it had an on/off switch. Other than that, I’m happy with the purchase.

Great machine, great price
It works great and pops the popcorn in 3 minutes. The popcorn is fluffy and light, add a little butter and salt and it's delicious!

The dome on top rests loosely on the popper, and when turned on, it vibrates and makes an awful noise, and scoots on the counter top. It popped most kernels, but once finished, it emitted a burned plastic odor that leven penetrated the popcorn. Not keeping it.
