Despite what some people claim all trim machines are trichrome smashers and nug buzzers. They are fast no doubt, but they can never match the precision of a human being. They can work well for that first de-leafing of the water leaves if you are careful with them and do not allow anything to come into contact with the buds but trimming buds down all the way with them does damage them quite a bit. Plus with a lot of these machines, like the Trim Reaper you end up having to dry on screens which further degrades the trichromes.
The number one rule for preserving the quality of your buds is to NEVER TOUCH THEM - not until they are dry. Tossing them into a machine that is going to knock them around and cause physical contact with the entire surface of the buds before they are dried, and then placing them on screens to dry will damage your trichromes and your buds.
Of course they manufacturers and retailers of the machines will deny this to no end. Personally I have never been impressed with the buds from trim machines, even the high end ones, but my standards are probably higher than most. Not to mention the fact that these machines take jobs and money out of the local economy and are putting quite a few people out of work, but that is a rant for another day.
