I purchased this trimmer, basically because I couldn't get replacement blades for my I-trimmer bowl in time (they were shipped sooner but the wrong size were sent). Okay, enough about the other POS trimmer..1st I noticed this trimmer was built far superior, it's smoother and much better built. The gearing is not sloppy as my other trimmer, the rack is perfectly even ( on the I-ttimmer, I believe due to welding to fast it warped the rack badly which affects the cut giving it an uneven cut, either to close or too far ).2nd I noticed the bud is much more evenly cut, you can adjust how close or far the blade you'd like for a precise cut to your liking.3rd This trimmer is huge!! The I trimmer i have is 16", this trimmer is 24" which doesn't sound like much but that's 24" round, so it's a lot more trimming which is nicer than you realize4th I didn't mind hand turning the nob on my I-trimmer.. well, I didn't think I did until getting this trimmer and realizing how nice it is to set the dial at a perfect speed and be able to walk away!! Love it!!5th. It's a work of art, it's nice to look at and I'm assuming that's the case because of how much time it saves and how it makes my least fav part of harvesting a breeze!!Okay, the only 2 thing's I'm not thrilled about is..1. When you put the top on, the male and female connection that turns doesn't always line up, really it never does so I have to adjust it till the it spins2. I'd guess the next 2 prob's were UPS's fault, 1) did come with a little dent on the farthest side of the bowl but it doesn't affect the operation in anyway whatsoever and 2) it was dropped off at my neighbors house.Overall, this bowl is a life saver and well worth the $$$. I haven't recommended much on here but I highly recommend this to anyone that doesn't like trimming!!
