I have used one of these microwave poppers for years and I love it! Our microwave recently went out and we bought a new one. Now the new microwave won't pop the popcorn in my popper. The wattage is the same as the last one. It pops the bag micowave popcorn just fine but I don't like it near as well as the popcorn popped in the popper. Any ideas?

I have no idea, can you contact the manufacturer of the microwave

There should be some info in the book that came with the microwave.

Will you share the popcorn when you figure it out - please! :D

Marsye I guess I'm just old fashioned but I like my popcorn popped on the stove. I have the old gallon sized pan with the crank on the handle. It pops almost every kernel of cheap popcorn (no Orville R. here) so I guess I'm no help at all. LOL

Thats how I used to pop it until one day I tried this popper and its so much better, very tender! I use cheap popcorn in it. OR cost too much and I can't tell any difference. :thumbup:

Marsye, I used to have a popper like that. Isn't there a small disk in the bottom of it? It has to be replaced sometimes doesn't it?? Could that be the problem?

I have the same popper and you can get the disk's @ Ace Hardware Store if that helps you. They might have to order them for you.
