So I have the machine now almost 1 year in use. I stuff not daily, more irregular, so no excessive stress. From the results I was getting very excited, as long as you use the correct tobacco. This may be wet under any circumstances to. With relatively dry tobacco and a little practice, however, can be created at high speed machines just cigarettes. Also, I was thrilled to recently by the quality of the machine. It makes a very solid impression and obviously everything is made of metal and generously dimensioned. Also have the mechanics regularly cleaned and oiled slightly. But suddenly hooked the machine when I have pulled the lever and pressure arose, and the sleeves were not properly filled. So according to manufacturer information (everything can be constructed to clean apart) neatly divides the machine into its component parts and then .... oh what a surprise .... there are a plastic part! Precisely at the most sensitive point of the whole mechanism, namely there where the crank is connected to the housing. There but actually a plastic threads is installed! And as was to be expected, exactly this was neatly broken at the attachment site. Hence the hakeln because the tentacle had too much play and slipped through the nose for further transport. A composite construction of the machine was no longer possible. So in my view, is called something breaking point. I'll still order my machine again, because it is in my eyes the best of its kind on the market. But I will continue to very careful not to operate with too high pressure the crank. So that I think can be increased to an acceptable level the life. But I can only recommend everyone not to be from the surface very robust deceive and not to burden the crank too much. Then I think you can have a lot and last a lifetime with the machine.
