This popcorn maker is perfect for a counter top. It’s not too big - just the right size. Me and my family (4 of us) were able to have a good amount for each of us, about a cereal bowl and a half each. It was super fast too - about 2.5 minutes before popcorn started appearing and the bottom was filled up before we knew it. The popcorn was evenly popped, nothing burnt. Super easy to use and we can’t wait to use it for movie nights. The sign on the front even lights up “popcorn” when it’s on.
