I should have said this. When people rent my machine, this is exactly what I tell them.

I own one. I got a special deal on it from a shop when they ordered it for someone else who bailed on them. This was well over a year ago. After using it a bit this is what I found.

Using freshly cut bud.....

1. Don't load it with heavy buds. This will just bruise and damage the trichomes. Trim them by hand.

2. If loading it with small, light fluffy buds, you can actually get a decent (not great) result if you only spin it a maximum of 20 times in each direction (per the instructions). Spinning it more than this dulls them out but you will have great sugar trim lying in the bottom of the bowl. :D You can get some extra yield off your plants by using it on popcorn buds and then drying them on screens while leaving your cash colas to hang dry properly.

Mine has been sitting in a corner for well over a year. Glad I got it cheap. I doubt if I'll ever use it again.
