Powermatic I Elite Cigarette Maker with Accessories Black Metallic

Well worth the money. Super sturdy, easy to use and lasts practically forever.

The Powermatic 1 cigarette loader is simply the best injector machine on the market today, in just about every way possible. The construction and ruggedness is far and away head and shoulders above any other manual injector I've ever tried, and I've tried quite a few. The action is smooth, and the results are consistent. The linear movement of the "throwing arm" makes this injector dead easy to use, and this makes it fast. I fire up an episode of some TV show on Amazon Prime Streaming, and start loading. With my old Topomatic or even my Powermatic 2 auto-injector I'd be lucky to get maybe 3 accurately rolled packs in ~30 minutes. Sue me, I unload or tear apart "bad" loads. With the Powermatic 1, I can do pretty much a whole carton in about 45 minutes, and the results are very nearly perfect, much more so than any other injector I've ever used. I attribute this to the LACK of plastic parts in this device and it's heft, that allows the device to be stable and solid feeling. Combine this injector, a good tube, a decent tobacco and a Casspin Closer, and you've got smokes that don't "empty" themselves in your case, and smoke seamlessly. The Powermatic 1 is also not as finicky about the humidity of the tobacco as every other device I've tried. The "Goldilocks zone" between too dry and too wet is huge in comparison to it's peers. At it's current price point, it's in the same ballpark as every other "good" injector, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is superior to it's peers. Disassembly to clean it out is easy, but here's where my ONLY two nitpicks are. The screw on the back that holds the handle to the bottom is difficult to put back in. I think because it's a fraction too short to get started accurately, but it's really not a dealbreaker because the handle is barely needed at all. If it doesn't go back in, no problem, works fine without it in place. The other one is a bit more crucial. The block that connects the arm linkage to the spoon carrier is very soft aluminum. the setscrew that holds the linkage to the carrier WILL WORK LOOSE. It's the nature of mechanics. Once that happens it's a hop,skip and jump away from that setcrew falling out. it is an incredibly easy fix and doable by just about anyone, EXCEPT that the soft alloy of the block, the hardness of the setcrew and the "stiffness" of retention nut all work in concert to basically pull the threads out of that block I think having separate screws to affix the linkage to the block and a separate one to retain the carrier in it's place would alleviate the issue, especially if a slightly harder alloy of aluminum was used in the block itself.

Update 02/04/2019 After a little less than two years this Powermatic I+ is all but dead, far short of the original Powermatic's lasting over four years and being replaced only because of normal wear. The reason is the one-plus has a PLASTIC case and internal parts instead of steel. There's just not much more that I can say in my disappointment other than it's highly unlikely that I'll ever buy another one. It's such a shame when quality is degraded in the upgrading any quality item. Update 03/15/2017: With my Powermatic I showing signs of wear after over four years of making one or two packs of cigarettes each day I decided to order a new one. To my disappointment, I had to return the first new Powermatic I+ because of an apparent timing problem that was causing the injector shaft to hang on the cutter/compressor, but then after receiving the second one I've been fairly well impressed. My old one was never so smooth, so they did make improvements during the four years. The cigarettes are more uniformly packed too, so I really like it. As far as my old one, it still makes a good cigarette, but based on the smoothness of the new I+, my guess is that it will last even longer than than the old one before showing any wear. ---------------- Just so you know that I'm not new to the RYO arena, with my wife smoking too, I've been averaging two packs of king size cigarettes each day for over eight years now. Of course one of my reasons for getting into RYO was the tax attacks on cigarettes, but my main reason was to avoid the (who knows what) chemicals, especially after the "fire safe" mandate. In the beginning I bought a Top-O-Matic (T1) because it was available at a local tobacco shop. During the four years plus that it took me to wear that machine out I tried each and every machine that the shops in this area had set up for demonstration, and I never found one that offered any major advantage over the old T1, so since my first T1 had lasted for over four years, I played it safe and replaced it with another new one. Now at the end of another four years that second T1 is very loose, pretty well worn out, so I decided to look for another replacement. (Note that I've never broken a machine, so both of those old T1s will still make a cigarette.) I never had any interest in the electric machines over just being anchored to an electric socket, and I definitely didn't want one of those older auger type machines after seeing videos of them grinding up the tobacco. I don't doubt that major improvements have been made in all of the latest electric machines, but still, they all require that electric socket. After hours of researching, this "Powermatic I Manual" machine was the only one that captured my attention, and then after reading the review and watching the video in the RYO Magazine web site I had to have one. The following may be more than anyone needs to know, but I think it's important enough for me to type it. The titanium cutter/compressor will handle virtually anything you can pack into the chamber, effortlessly, but be aware that packing too much tobacco into the chamber WILL jam the injector, and I have no doubt that trying to force the injector through will break it the same as with any other spoon-type machine. NEVER apply excessive force to the lever! The warranty does not cover any kind of damage caused by missuse. Also titanium is a very hard metal, meaning that the cutter/compressor will probably stay sharp for years with very little wear, but any foreign object will 'probably' chip the cutting edge. Check the tobacco closely, removing the stems and making sure that nothing goes into the chamber other than tobacco. The tobacco 'dust' can be mixed with stranded tobacco (it's all tobacco) so as to not waste it for as long as care is taken to not jam the injector. (The dust will jam the injector unless it's mixed at least 50/50 with stranded tobacco and is NOT packed into the chamber.) Expect the injection phase to 'BANG' against the stop, especially right at first. That is the ONLY thing about this machine that I had any concern about, and even that no longer concerns me after understanding that it's designed to inject quickly, with speed, to insure the tube is filled completely with perfection. That bang seems to be growing less evident with use (a break-in period maybe), but it's doubtful all of it will go away because of the design. Apparently it doesn't hurt anything anyway, so just ignore it. Finally, since this machine is new to me I have no way of knowing what the life expectancy might be, but what I do know is that it's so far advanced above all other manual type machines there is none to compare. I wouldn't sell it back for twice the amount I paid if that meant doing without it. Happy smoking! (Until the federal dictators make smoking illegal.)

D'occasion mais comme neuf. Super appareil malgré que ce soit le premier de la gamme. Pas beaucoup plus rapide qu'un bête tubeur 1er prix, mais cigarettes toujours bien remplies et ,malgré que premier test, une seule ratée sur plus de 50.

Fonctionne impecable

Very good quality with fast delivery

Die Powermatic Stopfmaschine habe ich nicht für mich selbst, sondern als Geburtstagsgeschenk für meine Mutter gekauft, da sie kürzlich mit dem Stopfen angefangen hat. Nach dem ersten ausprobieren muss ich allerdings sagen, wäre ich nicht vor ein paar Jahren auf E-Zigaretten umgestiegen, hätte ich diese Maschine sofort auch für mich bestellt. Die handelsüblichen, kleinen Stopfgeräte, die mit beiden Händen zu nutzen sind, kann man hiermit kaum vergleichen - es ist ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht. Natürlich nimmt die Powermatic etwas mehr Platz ein als die herkömmlichen kleinen Geräte, doch so schnell habe ich noch nie jemanden eine Zigarette stopfen sehen. Den Tabak leicht in die Öffnung drücken, die Hülse aufstecken und den Hebel ziehen - fertig. Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, die fertigen Zigaretten sind weder zu fest noch zu lasch und der Tabak reich bis ans hinterste Ende der Hülse. Meine Mutter (50+) hat bei erstem Nutzen ca. zehn Minuten gebraucht, um eine ganze Schachtel Zigaretten zu stopfen. Mit etwas Übung geht das bestimmt auch in fünf. Anders als bei den herkömmlichen Geräten muss man auch nicht auf die Menge des Tabaks achten, den man in den kleinen Schacht füllt. Hier darf man ruhig großzügig sein, alles was übrig bleibt, kommt dann in die nächste Hülse. Im Schacht ist genug Platz für ca. drei Zigaretten. Auch macht die Powermatic weniger Dreck als handelsübliche Stopfmaschinen, wobei hier auch (vor allem an der Öffnung) ein wenig Tabak seinen Weg auf den Tisch findet. Schlimm ist das allerdings nicht. Die Säuberung der Maschine ist auch Kinderleicht, denn dank der mitgelieferten kleinen Pinsel und Bürsten befreit man im Handumdrehen jede Ecke und Ritze der Maschine von Tabakresten. Um das Gerät zu verstauen kann man den Hebeln durch leichtes Ziehen entriegeln und ganz nach unten schieben, damit es besser in den Schrank passt. So wird es auch ausgeliefert, in einem kleinen braunen Päckchen mitsamt einem Pinsel, einer Bürste, einem kleinen Metallstopfer und der bebilderten Bedienungsanleitung. Der Preis der Powermatic erscheint anfangs zwar Recht hoch, die Qualität und vor allem die Zeit und Nerven die man sich spart sind es aber Wert. ich kann das Gerät zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt beruhigt weiterempfehlen. Wie sich das Gerät im Langzeittest macht, reiche ich zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nach. Hat Ihnen diese Rezension geholfen? Über einen schnellen Klick auf "Ja" würde ich mich sehr freuen!

Bueno, como he puesto en el encabezado, me la recomendó un amigo y aunque es más cara y más grande ésta máquina de entubar, que la que tengo y la que tengo es buena, pero con el tiempo coje desgaste y termina haciendo mal los cigarrillos Bueno pues ,voy a probar ésta a ver qué tal Pondré más comentarios después de usarla Una saludo 19 de Enero 2026 Fenomenal, deja bien prensado el tabaco, yo me atrevería a decir que queda como un cigarrillo de estanco Los cigarrillos...como rosquillas, uno tras otro y si le coges el tranquillo a la cantidad de tabaco por cigarrillo, haces un paquete en cero coma (muy rápido) Me ha sorprendido gratamente La máquina no es barata, pero la calidad del trabajo es , para mí, sensacional, si muy buena máquina de entubar cigarrillos, muy buena Recomiendo? por supuesto!!!
