Q: Can I use oil? (Don’t read this text in these parentheses. Target says i have to use 20 characters to submit a question)
submitted by Jame - 4 years ago
A: The hot air itself will pop the corn for you once the popper is plugged in. Using oil in the popping chamber will damage the appliance. You can add seasoning to the popcorn after it has popped if you desire.

Died on second batch after following all manufacturers instructions. First batch was a great experience for the toddlers and delicious with minimal unpopped kernels.
1 reply from Presto Team team - 3 months ago
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.

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!

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

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.

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.

After trying many different air popcorn makers, finally found one they works well - no flying corn or husk and popcorn is nice and crunchy. 2 Improvements needed: an on off switch and a lock for the top container especially for storing the popcorn maker.

I'm overall pleased with my purchase. I had a few kernels that didn't pop. I like that it's easy to clean and use. Bonus, the popcorn is not flying all over the place , its contained. However, I do wish it had an off/on button or lever.

Used it a couple times. Happy with the popcorn. Basic popper that is mostly plastic so it seems like it may not last forever, but it’s good for now. Easy to clean.

No oil for me - 5 years ago, Verified purchaser
I've had several hot air popcorn makers over the years and this is by far the best. It has no to very few less than 6 that are not fully popped every time. The popcorn dome is very large and works perfect. I saw a review that the person was concerned about some burnt popcorn. It tells you to turn off the popcorn maker as soon as it starts not popping very quickly, which handles this problem. I actually like a few "burnt kernals" so I let it run till I hear no popping. You won't go wrong buying this one.

It pop's every single kernel. I am impressed. The top can be used as a bowl for the popcorn that is freshly popped. Its easy to wipe the machine down and the top is dishwasher safe. My one and only complaint is when you plug it in its on. There is not a on and iff switch
