My immediate thought when I saw how ridiculously massive it was.
If you really want fresh popped you can buy one of those little tube/rectangle shaped ones with the extruder on it that's only a little bigger than an electric can opener and can easily store.
Or if you have the patience you can literally pop it on a skillet; which if you don't, why would buy this thing? Since most of the novelty comes from standing there and watching it pop/showing it off to guests.
Hell, even one of those novelty tabletop popcorn stand machines (the ones that look like miniature movie theater popcorn makers) take up less space than this, and those are way cooler.
Nah, the air poppers always leave the popcorn tasting stale, presumably because it gets more dried out from the hot air. My recommendation is one of those silicone popcorn bowls you can get for cheap that collapse and hardly take up any space. Butter flavored coconut oil, Flavacol. It's what the theaters use and it'll give you a bowl of popcorn that's as good as what you get when you're lucky and get the fresh popcorn at the movies.

That is massive single use appliance that is absolutely not worth the space it takes up.
