I have read review and there be more review for the Orville Redenbacker popper then just the Presto so I go with it . the machine do a great jop of pop the corn . I have be use generic popcorn from Safeway and its great . I add the seasoning from no more naked popcorn and it make a great afternoon snack . I believe the Presto without the name be the same but have not see it to be sure .
