Perfect size not too big or too small. I love it and it is so easy to use and easy to clean. Love the fresh popped popcorn. Best purchase ever made. Did not come with a Stand but will be buying a rolling cart for it.

The popper is designed with a small gap between the glass and frame that traps popcorn scraps and hulls around the bottom of the glass on 3 sides. After using it only once there was the start of popcorn scraps building up in that gap. It was noticeable after one use and would get really bad quickly. At best, this would be unsightly. At worst, the trapped scraps would harbor something unhealthy in the popper. Norther responded that all of their poppers were designed that way. I returned the popper.
This review is from Great Northern Popcorn - 48-Cup 8-Oz. Popcorn Maker - Black

I have researched Popcorn machines for awhile now and decided to get Great Northern machine based on a lot of reviews, I use this machine for home use but use it everyday as I love popcorn. it is true there are a lot of unpopped kernels but it is that way with most popcorn machines (because the kernels get caught in the popped kernals and rise out with them) There is a small gap with the metal tilt down access drawer but it isnt an issue with me and I clean the machine after so many uses anyway (like you are suppose to). Great machine for the price, I have seen way more expensive machines that were not built as good as this one. It is a huge plus that the kettle can be unplugged to pull out for easy cleaning instead of built in like most. Also keep in mind what really makes the best popcorn is the ingredients you use, I started with Great Northern pre packaged but it can get expensive, I know use popcorn, cocopop flavored oil and flavocal, and its the best popcorn I have ever had.
