I love mine. I bought it in January, but just now started to really love it, when I bought the 1, 1 1/2, 2, and 2 1/2 inch strip dye cuts. The first one I bought and made a dresden quilt. I like that the strips are cut perfect, and much faster cutting them out. If time is worth anything, like it is to me, just the time saved makes it worthwhile. I bought the larger one, that folds up to carry. I didn't by the case for it though. It is a little difficult to turn, so if you have an issue with strength, you may want to try one first.
