Hot air popcorn vs. stove or microwave?

I just bought a hot air popcorn popper and used it for the first time. It was alright but the popcorn was really chewy. I was wondering if it has to do with the kind of kernels I used (a generic brand) or if it’s the popcorn popper? Has anyone else had this happen and if not, what kind of kernels do you use?
