Query: I had a better hot air machine 25 years ago

This machine blows hard directly out of the popping chamber, meaning it will leave very little mess behind. 10-20 kernels always fly out before it even begins popping. And once it starts popping, some very hot kernels fly out, only to pop inside the popcorn bowl, throwing popcorn all over the place. The plastic gets hot enough to become noticeably soft.My old machine blew sideways, creating a vortex inside that did not allow unpopped kernels to escape. The only drawback was having to pour the remaining contents out of the machine after it was done popping, but that's nowhere near as bad as having to pick up popcorn off the floor like you have to do with this device.
