Re: Famag Grilletta IM-5 vs. Spiralmac Royal Queen 5 – Seeking Advice

Quote from: ARenko on Yesterday at 07:47:35 PMI have a Famag IM5.  Had it for around 3 years.  No issues, but only use it about once a month.  No need for service.  The Kid will be along soon to tell you Famag is unreliable.  Lots of happy Famag owners here.  Spiralmac seems good too, but not as much traction here.  Sunmix might be another to consider. 

Thank you for your response! Glad to hear you’ve been happy with the Famag IM-5. I had a couple of quick questions, if you don’t mind.

What are your thoughts on the higher RPM version or I guess the HH versus the standard one? have you had any issues with the breaker bar? That seems to come up a lot in reviews.

I’m leaning toward the Famag overall—it feels more established, and having parts and servicing available is definitely a plus. Unfortunately, neither is in stock right now, so it looks like I’ll be waiting a bit.
