The shearline machine has been a game changer for us. We first purchased the shearline original machine as a wet trimmer and used it for a season improperly and soon after, posted it for sale on Craigslist. The machine didn't sell, thank goodness, and it sat unused for a year (what a shame). But then we called the manufacturer and received highly personalized customer service from the man who stands behind his product 100%. Ryan overnighted us new parts to upgrade our machine and walked us through the proper way to use it as a dry trim machine. In addition to the instructional videos he provides, he personally answered our every call and made sure we achieved optimal performance with his machine. This season we were fortunate enough to have the "burden" of finishing all of our indoor, outdoor and light deprivation greenhouse all at the same time. We were able to perform a huge feat in a fraction of the time; with just three people to buck down product and clean the machine, we moved through what would ordinarily take months and many people to achieve. This was a big bonus for us because we were already short handed on help and we did not want to impact our property with bringing new people around, especially after my sister just had a baby. It took us a little while to perfect our rhythm but we have been averaging about 10 completed pounds per day with only two people working and the finished look is better than hand trimmed product compared side by side. I know we still have room for improvement on our daily output. The machine worked so well on our outdoor that we decided to do an experiment and run even our most premium indoor OG Kush through the machine, it produced a surprisingly exceptional product! We have not received a single complaint about the trim job on our final products, no buyer even noticed it was not trimmed by hand. We have run six different strains through the machine and it handled all of them well, some strains better than others but we didn't mind minimally touching up by hand the crows feet on the leafier outdoor strains. The machine also does a phenomenal job with the smallest buds that used to get overlooked by the hand trimmers who didn't want to bother with them.This machine was our single greatest business investment. Our machine has been in high demand by friends and I have even been able to offer my rental and operation service to friends and I am easily able to cut their trimming bills in half. I would recommend this product to anyone, it is truly extraordinary. The only thing more extraordinary than the Shearline trim machine is the customer care that comes with it, Ryan personally answers my every phone call, even on New Years Eve he took the time to walk me through a concern. I am a truly satisfied customer.
