Powermatic Mini Precision Manual Rolling Machine by Powermatic

The electric version can jam up and then it's broken ... so when I came across this product by the same manufacturer of the rolling machine, for only $27, I ordered it right away! (For some reason, the electric version went up in print by about $20. I've broken three of them now, so I can only say good things about this manual rolling machine. I started rolling my own cigarettes using a housemate's Top-O-Matic one, which I bought when she moved out. Then I discovered the electric rolling machines ... but this "little guy" is so small and (hopefully) won't break.Initially, I swore like a sailor with every botched cigarette that was either super loose or got jammed up, causing me to empty out the loose tobacco to then use the little tools for unclogging it. Luckily, I can assure readers that you do get better at knowing how firmly to press the loose tobacco down before swiping the lever.When tobacco is too dense, it's nearly impossible to swipe the lever to the left, forcing you to dump out the tobacco to clear the jam. But you can't break it! (I hope.) I did develop a callous on my right thumb from straining to make a "good" cigarette. It's not noticeable, but I do use a nail file to make it more plush with the rest of my thumb.The Powermatic brand is certainly reputable. The electric ones are cool, but $27 is more in my price range!We know cigarettes are bad for us, but at least we have decided to no longer pay $12 for one lousy pack of cigarettes. One problem I am concerned about is that I just make more when I've smoked the last one I rolled. It's easy enough to keep track of how many per day, but do we really want to know this information? I think I am smoking three packs a day - more than two packs at least. I use cigarettes like a fidget. My dog doesn't sleep by my side because she doesn't like the smoke. She's smarter than me!

This is probably the best-value tool or machine of any type I have ever bought. The design simply works and build quality is as high as a device costing five times as much.I used it to make cigarettes with an.... herbal smoking mixture that is much stickier than tobacco and able to gum things up. It was no problem with this machine. I expected that I might have to clean it periodically, but I didn't.(It would be difficult to clean thoroughly, but this is not relevant to its intended use for tobacco).It's extremely easy to use once you figure out the right amount to pack in. If I wanted tighter-packed smokes, however, I'd get one of the more expensive machines with a crank. The sliding tab on this is good enough but it does not provide any mechanical advantage.

The best easy manual filler, works perfect

Excellent deal.

Works great this is second one I've bought. I just have 2 things about it that could use upgraded. The slide for injector could use a spring to pull/hold it to the one side so it don't slide over until you have packing lever down. Cause it won't let it if it slides over any and it causes packing lever to get broke. In witch could be metal or maybe the whole thing be made metal would be great.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about the Powermatic Mini Precision Manual Rolling Machine. I mean, how much difference can a tiny machine make? Turns out, A LOT. This little gadget has transformed my rolling game from amateur hour to professional league!First off, let’s talk size. This machine is so compact, it makes my toaster look like a giant. But don’t let the small size fool you – this thing packs a punch. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of rolling machines, minus the confusing attachments.The precision is unreal. I used to roll something that looked like a crumpled napkin at best, but now, every roll is a masterpiece. Even my friends are impressed – they think I secretly enrolled in some kind of rolling academy. Sorry to disappoint, but it’s all thanks to my new best buddy, the Powermatic Mini.Operation is a breeze. Just load, crank, and voilà – perfect rolls every time. The process is so smooth, it’s almost therapeutic. I find myself rolling just for the zen experience of it all. Who knew precision engineering could be so relaxing?And the best part? No batteries, no plugs, just pure manual magic. It’s the eco-friendly way to roll your way to happiness. Plus, you get a mini workout from all that cranking. Talk about multi-tasking!If you’re on the fence, hop off and grab one of these beauties. The Powermatic Mini Precision Manual Rolling Machine is a game-changer, and it’s not just rolling – it’s an art form. Highly recommended for anyone who takes their rolling (and their relaxation) seriously!

I recommend and great for a gift. It’s appreciated. : )

This is the 4th time I have purchased this item and I MAYBE get to use it for a month and it stops working properly ---- very disappointing

Everything fine
