I found it to be well made and hefty. It's not that much faster than the hand crank model however being electric it took a lot of the tedium out of cranking which wears your hand fingers out. As with any new gadget, a little practice quickly brings you up to a respectable speed. TIP: pack the tobacco tight against the lever end of the chute and not so tight in the rest of the chute and it will produce a nice firm squared cigarette end. It keeps from making a Tiki Torch. I also use the end of a ball point pen to Tamp it further, like a muzzle loader rifle. It's quality over quantity. You don't want a Tiki Torch while trying to drive. I travel a lot and I pack a carton at a time. Takes about 2 hours... Just Zone out, Zen in and do it...I find it relaxing like knitting.

I owned the Original Powermatic for over 3 years before it plain wore out.This new one is made cheaper.It makes cracking noises where it tries to fill tubes and is not as strong when filling.Too bad,it used to be a good product.Wish i could submit 0 stars.

I bought one as a gift for my dad this machines performance is excellent 👌 I had to buy another one for myself to have it makes cigerretts perfect I actually prefer a smoke from the power matic 2 machine then to have one from a box from a pack you buy at the store this is awesome and I am saving money each month big time I used to buy 2 cartons of smokes for $70 or more ? Now I just buy 1 16oz bag of 4 Ace's tobacco for $21.50 and 3-4 boxes of tubes for $ 3.00 apiece which comes out to be spending $33.50 a month I am very happy with the power matic projector and the quality of the smokes it makes plus the money it saves me !😁👍

I was growing tired of using my hand cranking model. The time and energy I put into using it was taking it's toll on my bad right shoulder.The Powermatic 2 fills a perfect cigarette every time. The time I am saving now is ridiculous. I picked up operating it up almost immediately. I use 100s tubes and it fills them perfectly from end to end. No carrot tops or falling lit heads, which was a issue I was experiencing occasionally with my hand cranker. I also received it quickly which was a bonus. I use cigarette tobacco (American Spirit exclusively) and no further grinding is needed. I can't smoke pipe tobacco. It makes me hack, so I can't really say if theres a big difference in how it performs using a thicker cut tobacco. I'm pretty sure if grinded some it would work fine. I also haven't had any problems with accidentally overpacking this machine with the tobacco I use. I keep the can sealed and throw in a humidor packet to keep the tobacco perfect moist. I really can't say enough about how pleased I am with this purchase so far. If you smoke and are frugal, this is the perfect cigarette injector IMHO. Hopefully this review will help anyone interested in purchasing this product. I didn't want to give a review right away and use it some first. It's been over a month now since I started using it and it's fantastic. After you get a rhythm using it, I think you'll be more than happy with the time and money it saves you. It's pretty much idiot proof if you know what I mean. Hope this gives people a heads up if their considering purchasing one. I also hope you have a nice day and enjoy. Read full review

Good value for what it is... could be lower in price... but gets job done... the poweroll top o matic and zen super shooter with this have a lot in common. Own all three and there are strengths and weaknesses to all of them but do make cigs well with no cherries falling off... one complaint is that the hopper could be bigger on it.
