So no complaints about the crank one, except you got so you couldn't turn it? It's half as much money. Also, does it seem like the electric one should have an exit platform for the die to "land" on on the way out of the machine? I've watched some videos and it seems it comes out and starts to fall towards the table. Is that a problem?
