Pros & Cons
Pros
The presto 04863 seems to run a little hotter than the dash air popper, so the presto pops a few more kernels and does it a little more quickly. It makes great popcorn and a normal bag of the grains can last 2 month and it's 4$.
This product is excellent. It does exactly what the instructions say it will do. Measuring lid is very handy.
Cons
This popcorn maker is junk.
Highlights
Quality
Works great is a bit loud but so much better than using microwaveable bag popcorn
The only thing i’d recommend to the manufacturer is to install autosensw to stop the machine when it detects no weight in there to pop
Follow instructions and you will only lose about a teaspoon of unpoped kernels
Full 16 cups ready in 3 mins i timed it from the time i started getting the machine ready to the time i turned it off
Price
My previous one billowed black smoke on third use so this is a huge improvement and was less than half the price
Excellent air pop machine for the price
You put the popcorn in and wait until its all poped no burn popcorn and no spending 5 on 3 bag of popcorn
Good value at that price not sure i’d pay full price
Shipping
This item arrived on time and worked perfectly
The motor gave out after 1 year but within 2 days we had a new one arrive at our door
Packaging/appearance
My neighbours were happy when i brought them a large container filled with 6 cups of fluffy hot popcorn i cant eat more than 2... Read More
Competitiveness
All things considered the dah air popper was the better buy
The design of the dash popper is more compact in comparison to the presto 04863
I was torn between this unit and another brand
