The gears *will* break, but here's what you do:
Give the Wabash people a call. They will ask you when you bought the popper and they will register your product. Then they will send you a brand new lid no questions asked. They will continue to do this for the next 25 years. I wish the entire gear system was made of metal, but with impeccable customer service like Wabash provides, I can overlook that.
As for the popper itself, the other reviews pretty much cover it. More fun and healthier than microwave popcorn and easier to store than a hot air job. I use 1/8 cup olive oil to 1/2 cup popcorn and don't even bother turning the gear until I hear the first kernel explode. I'm hoping this will save wear and tear for next time. I melt a tablespoon or two of butter over the top just 'cause I like the taste and add a little salt right in the kettle (be sure to use a potholder...it's hot!). Once the popcorn is gone, I fit the lid back on and stick it back under the cabinet. I don't even bother to wipe it out. Keeps it nice and seasoned!

Don't buy
This is a cheaply made item. It lasted for 5 uses. The gears utilized are faulty (they split/break in normal usage). Read the reviews on site. The ones citing breakage are correct. Thin gauge pot..sloppy connecting mechanism for the lid. I had registered my warranty but didn't even bother to request a replacement for the gear. Not worth it. Write off the mistake and go back to using a regular pot, which on a gas stove will provide the same quality after you learn to control the heat adding microwave melted butter after popping. Hope this review saves someone the disappointment of messing with this poorly constructed item.

Whirly-Pop is the best
This is my second Whirly-Pop- I had one years ago that got so gross from overuse that I threw it away. I replaced it with a cheap, no-name brand which ended up breaking and never gave me the same results. Now that I have a Whirly-Pop again, I can satisfy my popcorn addiction. It makes it fast and it makes a lot of popcorn. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys fresh, buttery, movie style popcorn. WalMart sells a butter topping that it the perfect compliment to this fresh popped corn.

NO MORE MICROWAVE
I'm here to say that this is the best popper ever.....I've had mine for months and I use it quite often, I even bought the gallon of butter and salt..JUST LIKE THE MOVIES!! I'll never use Microwave popcorn again.

Best way to make popcorn!
The first Whirly-Pop I encountered was a gift to me from my husband. I didn't think I would use it, but once I flipped through the included recipe book, I was inspired to try some of them. The Cinnamon Crunch Popcorn is a huge hit wherever I take it. Other savory recipes are great too. It's quick, easy to use and there is hardly a unpopped kernel in the pot. The popped corn is very large and light. I purchased one as a shower gift for a fan of my Cinnamon Crunch Popcorn and she used it three times within the first week of having it! If you love popcorn and would like to try some gourmet recipes, I would recommend getting this gizmo.
