Hamilton Beach v. Presto 04821 -- Presto is so much better

I tested Hamilton Beach right next to a Presto 04821/Orville Redenbacker. Neither was perfect, but Hamilton Beach threw a lot more hot unpopped corn than Presto. The "chute" that the popcorn has to slide down is shorter than the Presto, which means that not all of the popcorn gets into the bowl. The Presto also has a place to roll up the cord, which is a nice touch. A few small points: Hamilton Beach took 3 minutes to cook a cup of corn on the cob; Presto lasted 2 1/2 minutes. In my opinion…

Pros
  • FITS INTO YOUR FAVORITE BOWL: Fits in your favorite bowl for easy serving and cleanup.
Cons
  • Fits

Cheap Flimsy Shoddy Absolute POS

I'm 63 and let me tell you they don't make them like they used to. This machine probably weighs 8 ounces. open box Throw in 4 ounces of Jolly Time and in minutes it will be bursting out with a colossal amount of brown corn. Bing-bing-bing hot little grains fly out. The popcorn itself was very dry. I've had a lot of popcorn machines. It's not trash. I'll throw it away as it's not even worth sending back. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Now it goes in the garbage. Update: I didn't throw it

Pros
  • HOT AIR = HEALTHY: Hot air is used for a healthy snack, no oils or fats are needed.
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

Died on the second attempt to use it.

and it was delivered on 10/8/2018. I have successfully made a batch of popcorn. On December 3rd I wanted popcorn, so I took the machine out of the closet and filled it with popcorn. It worked for about 20 seconds and then shut off. I tried cooling it down and turning it back on but it was dead. Amazon's return period expired on November 5th. Read the guarantee. It was under warranty but the warranty specifically states that I am responsible for shipping to and from the company. Which brings me…

Pros
  • SERVES THE CROWD: Holds up to 18 cups per batch for the crowd.
Cons
  • I bought it for the old
