I know from reading that many of the big grow houses use them. Could you imagine manicuring 200 plants at 1 time?

id be afraid of it taking off too much, at least at first. I would much rather have one of the kind that hook up to the vacuum, looks like an electric razor.

Yeah, over priced! That's why I built my own instead. It's not automatic but it's still faster than doing it by hand. The catch bucket is just temporary. I have mesh bags on order.

I hate trimmers.. The electric and gas powered ones vibrate so much that I am pretty sure they are knocking off trichomes the whole time. Mass production has it's drawbacks... Biggest being quality in the finished products.. Best bud is grown in small gardens, trimmed by hand and dried and cured patiently for weeks..

I thought that too about the trichomes being knocked off but after hearing from others that own the Trimpro they all say it doesn't affect them at all. I actually know someone that has one. Trichomes don't really fall when it's trimmed wet. I think more comes off when you trim by hand cause you're holding it and rotating it in your hand. My hand is super sticky after a trim. With this you just hold the stem and it cuts the leaves right off barely affecting the trichomes. I haven't tried mine yet. Still waiting to use it. I just finished making it last week. Hopefully it stands up the the Trimpro. It didn't cost me much to make either. Even with having the top laser cut. That's the only thing I had made for me cause I don't have a CNC machine.

i have one of the hand crank type ie. spinpro and it does a good job trimming but to get an even job you still need to do hand work or youll endup grinding off a lot of bud. I use mine for the small buds only and hand trim all the buds that are bigger than like an AA battery
