Best trimmer machines today?

I saw a very old thread when I did a search but nothing recent.
What are the best trimmers on the market today? Where can you get them safely? I prefer something under 2k, under 1k if possible. Just list what you think is best, the cost, and where to get it. Is Trim Reaper still around? I can't find where to get that if it does still exist. thanks

I just saw avinash mile's thread, I didn't see that before, but from a quick glance it just discusses a $7k satellite, way out of my price range for now! I'll try to figure out how to search for the info you provided. Are those hand crank things any good? I actually saw one of them at a hydro store once. Being in a non-medical state (well medical now but I wouldn't qualify), I can't even imagine how you would ship one of those big contraptions anyway, well ship it safely that is. And to transport the thing across the country is another issue. I am an extremely slow trimmer and the most I could forsee ever having in one crop is a few to several pounds, eventally, maybe. thanks for the advice

I checked it, that is $7311! I am a one man band, maybe 2. No one else I would trust. so a trimmer machine would be nice but not at that price.

looks like you are looking for something that handles a large scale harvest, I use bonsai heroes... if you have a few pairs of these and a couple people to help they go through pounds fast and are very gentle. I think around 300 for 2 trimmers and a power pack

I'm running 8-10k flower and do all trimming myself with the bonsai s. I used to take time off of work, now I get what used to take me 24-30 hrs over several long nights to two 4 hour nights

Love my Trim Reaper. Couldn't imagine doing a trim without it anymore, sure don't miss those days. You can order them from any hydro store that carries Advanced Nutrients.

With that being said though I've seen some places that carry smaller knock off versions for a third of the price and it's not because the Reaper has better QC I assure you. I bought mine several years ago so their wasn't as much to choose from. If I was to do it now again I'd probably just hit up e-bay.

I use a trimpro unplugged that's been pretty decent, If you don't mind hand cranking it. I'd imagine the trimpro powered versions work just as well but I don't have the money to find out. I was very disappointed at first, but once the leather fingers softened up it stopped mashing the buds up and worked just fine.

yeah me too! :D I could have clicked the wrong link but I don't think so, it was right on top of the search with the exact name you said.

Check out the bonsai hero... also check out bobbles thread about his pair...https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=267673. Could be exactly what you are looking for.

I will check that out and later edit in my response in place of this sentence. Sounds good. I get barely or a little less than a pound a light but if things yield like they should I should have double or triple that or more. I am an extremely slow and meticulous hand trimmer. Some of it has to do with never getting around to cutting the lower branches and having a lot of popcorn, but it takes me 2-3 hours to trim an ounce! With everything else I have to do, it takes me about a month to trim a pound! It actually worked fine, as I think it slow cured in the process and friends love it! But I do have to pick up the pace considerably yet a few lights doesn't justify a $7000 or $15000 trim machine at this time. This bonsai thing sounds just like what I need, will research it. Was that a typo or a different machine: someone put "bonsai s". OK that was you otis. who knows what the future holds but I could not see myself being bigger than what you mention and so what works for you should work for me.

Now, Trimpro and Spinpro are different right? Trim Scene Solutions has the TrimPro I am guessing? I will try researching it but rarely do I find links of places selling machines and prices, just discussions/ratings at websites. Rabbi, that does look sweet. As I have few connections, shipping and paying could be a problem. I'd appreciate any advice on that I can get! thanks for all the help!

This one looks just as good but even cheaper:http://www.ebay.ca/itm/18-All-Stain...0975387?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item2c732e4d9b

I love how they use actual sharp replaceable blades(trim reaper "blades" are not really blades at all) and have the sliding opening hatch on these models. For that price I'm almost tempted to grab one myself.

You must know at least someone with an ebay and paypal account, no? What country do you live in?

US unfortunately, in the NE
My brother may be able to ask people he doesn't really know, or those he does not really want to know about this. But I can't imagine anyone would say "yeah sure send that here". If there is no other option but to have it send to your real address and real name, what would it be billed as? It would not say "trimmer machine" on the cc or paypal statement would it? Or on the box when the weird UPS guy shows up? I can't imagine it would, I think it just says the sellers name on amazon. thanks for the help, please keep it coming!

I doubt it would show up in anything but a plain box but you could always contact the seller just to be on the safe side.
