Hot Air Popcorn Popper

[Rover]

I was all set to make a batch of Jaymes's Caramel Popcorn and my small Toastess machine spat out more unpopped kernels than popped ones. At this rate it'll take me all day to generate just the popcorn.

I think I'm now in the market for a new popper. What's good out there? Does anyone have a favourite?

Thanks

I know it's not an air popper, but this one seems to have universally good reviews on cooking.com, amazon.com and was a top pick on the popcorn popper testing done on America's Test Kitchen:

Edit: This air popper seems to have rave reviews too: http://www.amazon.com/Presto-04820-PopLite...22482726&sr=1-1

I bought one a few months ago from Loblaws for around $20 and I love it. Popcorn is something I wish I liked more than I actually do -- I like the making more than the eating. My new machine was used exactly twice for corn and now it's a dedicated coffee bean roaster -- which by the way it does very well. It doesn't have a proper brand name on it, just a stylized letter D and the words "Joint Shine, made in China" on the underside.
