Electric Tobacco Shredder - Cutter - Converter

Dislikes: none Likes: Small footprint, easy to use, easy to clean. I had never used a tobacco shredder before, never needed one for my RYO cigarette machines until I bought a newer unit, a Powermatic III+ and it is quite finicky on how the tobacco is cut. So I purchased this little gem and it has done the job excellently. I just had to learn the right technique to get the proper cut, first time I shredded the tobacco for my machine, I jammed it up because I ran the cuter for too long and the tobacco was too short{fine}, so it didn't work out well at all, but that was my fault, not the shredders. Once I figured out the technique to get the right consistency for the machine, making my RYO cigarettes with my Powermatic III+ was a lot easier, no more jams and no more hopper errors that I was constantly having with my tobacco before getting this little gem of a tobacco cutter. Definitely worth every bit of money I spent on it. All RYO cigarette makers should have one of these in their collection of RYO cigarettes arsenal of equipment for making their RYO cigarettes. One of the best devices I ever purchased! Highly recommend to anyone that is a RYO cigarette maker, this device will allow you to conserve on your tobacco and get more cigarettes from your tobacco stash. As far as I'm concerned, this is definitely a 5-Star device, and a must-have for any RYO aficionado!

i use this for bud. i like my bud ground very fine for vaporizing. this shreds the bud into fine grind that is perfect for vaping. it is powerful and has no issues powering through the bud (stems and all). for the price, it is a steal (compared to other bud grinders). the compartment is large and can handle a large amount at the same time. sorry, i didn't measure it exactly. best guess, you can easily fit 3/4 of an ounce and possible a full ounce. the best part, the motor can handle it with ease. from what i read, it is basically a repurposed coffee grinder. however, it is absolutely perfect for vape style bud grinding. it is one of the cheapest, yet still the best option around (and i have tried a bunch). i looked at this option early, but originally went elsewhere. it was a mistake. i should have chose this one before all the others. i have been using it regularly for about a month and i am pleasantly surprised how well this works for my needs.

Just used this for the first time today. It works great to cut down the longer pipe tobacco into a more fine cut. The powermatic 3 i bought was barely coping with the long pipe tobacco - contrary to all the YT videos that make the machine SEEM to run flawlessly with it. Shredding the tobacco down with just a pulse or two using this makes that machine run like it should. I have only 2 complaints: 1- the cheap plunger style button engagement on this shredder doesnt line up perfectly with the actual switch on the base, and half the times i try to engage the power i have to fiddle (cant believe i just used that word) with the thing to get the power to pulse on. 2 - i seriously wish this was 4 times the size since you can only do a small amount at a time. Yes - its quick - as a 1 or 2 second pulse is all you need, but itll take time if you want to break down a pound all at once and get it over with. For now its good enough - and since there isnt any real alternative like this - i guess itll do unless i decide to spend real money on a bigger dedicated “leaf shredder” which is really overkill for me since I’m not buying leaves (yet). Even if this was twice the size - it would be a huge improvement. As far as the powermatic 3 goes - this is basically a necessity to make that machine run like it should. Otherwise youll be forced to fluff up (youd think youd have to pack the tobacco down, but that doesnt work, it just makes it worse) the tobacco in the hopper every few cigarettes to make it work. It completely defeats the purpose of buying an automated machine like that and its been EXTREMELY aggravating having spent 200 bucks on something that doesnt actually work the way people pretend it does. I sincerely hope whoever is responsible for getting this machine manufactured considers developing an XL version. I’d buy it in a heartbeat just to save more time and effort. With this machine I’m basically gonna be using it at every sitting to RYO - instead of getting a 1 pound bag and breaking it all down in one shot, and storing it in a mason jar to use as needed. This just added yet another step every time i sit do roll anything. But to be totally honest - For the money - this is well worth it - as is. It does exactly what it says it will. IMAGINE THAT.. the build quality could be improved too - but hey - its only like $20 so ya cant really complain much considering it seems like its really just a gloried coffee grinder.
