I have had mine for many years. Even finally replaced the cutting mat because I used it so much. I got some ripstop nylon from Joann's and made a sorta case as I store it on the floor under my TV/stereo cabinet in the living room. With the black cover/case no one knows it is there as it matches the wood.
There is a good video and other 'stuff' about it at:
