Review: It Just Works. Almost no unpopped duds. - This thing just works. I have kept track of the unpopped kernels, and after 10 batches, the average is 2.5 unpopped duds. Of course, I'm using premium popping corn (Orville brand in a plastic jug), and I did re-hydrate the corn for a couple of days before popping. (a scant 1/4 teaspoon of fresh water into the jar, shake vigorously to distribute, re-cap and put in a warm place. The kernels will absorb the water, making them pop better) I will try a bargain brand next--one I have put into a large glass jar, with a bit more water, and capped tightly. But I expect similar results-- the design of this popper really does keep the kernels in the heating chamber during the first dozen or so, explosive pops. After that, there is sufficient popped kernels in the tube to keep the rest in place. I expect the 2 to 5 unpopped kernels were simply trapped in the mass of popped kernels, as it gets pretty packed before pushing out the top diffusiors and tumbles out into the bowl. I have had to experiment a bit, to learn when to stop, and shut it off. Too soon, you get more unpopped duds. But if you leave it too long, the already-popped fluffs still in the tube can scorch a bit, changing the flavor of those somewhat (not as tasty). The instructions suggest pre-warming it for two full minutes, before dumping in the kernels, and I did that the first couple of times. Later, I simply plugged it in, and then while it was warming up, wiped out the crumbs from the bowl and catchbin. Then I poured in the kernels, carefully tipped the metal difussors in place, and let it rip. I seriously could not tell any difference in performance, between the 2-minute warmup, or the scant minute or so it took me to wipe out the crumbs from last time warm-up. In either case, I was starting from a room temperature machine. I did not time the overall start-to-finish, however, and it may take longer before the rapid-fire popping begins, in the colder short-warmup. Does not really seem to matter-- once I hear the rapid-fire popping, I get up to monitor it until the pops slow down enough I consider it done. That time seems to vary a bit, between batches. I should point out, in every case (except the first batch), I was popping somewhat less than the maximum batch it recommends, as I was using the plastic lid from my old air popper (which was notorious about dumping dozens of unpopped kernels with the first 6 or 8 pops--which is what started my quest for a better air-popper. The Fountain seems to be the goal) which holds somewhat less than 1/2 a cup of unpopped corn. Good enough for me. Would I buy this again? In a heartbeat! Will I replace this with the same one, on the sad day it is worn out (hopefully, years in the future)? Yep. Without hesitation. Good Job, Presto!
Review: Fantastic air popper! MUST use proper amount of popcorn kernels!! - PRO TIP!: Actually, you CAN use a little more than 1/2 cup of kernels!! The key is that when you turn on the popper, look down into the metal grates at the popcorn kernels. If they are not moving in the center, just giggle the popcorn maker a little bit until they start moving. (Note: Only the center 1.5" of kernels will actually move.) If you do this the kernels at the bottom will not overheat and burn, shutting down the popcorn maker! We now fill to just a bit above the 1/2 cup line and this fills the entire bowl and makes the perfect amount of popcorn. We continue to use this popcorn maker nearly every day and love it! ORIGINAL REVIEW: We purchased this popcorn air popper because the cheap one we bought at Walmart spit out so many uncooked kernels it was ridiculous. I liked the look of this one with the three metal plates that keep the popcorn kernels from flying out. It cooks the perfect amount and it's fast and fun to watch. We've used it every day for the several weeks we've owned it and so far it works perfectly. I almost didn't buy it because of the negative reviews but I'm glad we did. I'd buy it again for sure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any recommendations of popcorn brand product that works best in this hot air popper?**
A: This popper is designed to pop all kinds of popcorn—yellow, white, and premium brands, such as Orville Redenbacher’s GourmetPopping Corn. Try different brands to find the one you like best. Yellow popcorn generally pops into larger kernels than white. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department by phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail at contact1@gopresto.com. We are open M-F 8-4:15 Central Time.

**Q: Is the bowl dishwasher safe?**
A: If you have the 04868 popper, wash the cover/serving bowl and lid in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in a dishwasher or scour surfaces with steel wool or abrasive cleaners. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to Presto Customer Service Department M-F 8-4:15 CT by phone (1-800-877-04410) or e-mail (contact1@gopresto.com).

**Q: Do you need oil to pop the corn?**
A: If you have a 04868 popper, oil cannot be used. This pops the corn with hot air. Pouring oil or adding butter or shortening to the popping chamber will destroy the motor. For questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact Presto Customer Service Department M-F 8-4:15 CT at 1-800-877-0441 or contact1@gopresto.com.

**Q: If I for some reason dont like this pop corn maker, is this idem returnable?**
A: We returned ours, with no issues.  Popper how ever kept turning off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best popcorn popper we’ve bought!
*by J***N on June 11, 2026*

I would give it 6 stars if I could. We have bought many different kinds and brands of popcorn poppers, this is our FAVORITE. Very impressed with how easy it is to use. No kernels come flying out, (was a problem with a couple of them.) We have far less unpopped kernels. We use it almost daily. It pops normal kernels well, but not homegrown miniature popcorn. I highly recommend this fountain air popper!!!
