I bought a red one just like this over 8 years ago and we use it a lot! It's held up really well. You need to keep the pan and gears clean to keep it in tiptop working condition. I bought this one as a gift for my sister's new theater room. Her family loves it. It is large, so you'll need plenty of floor space. Sam's Club sells the theater popcorn and oil combo that makes it easy to make and taste just like it came from the movies!
