banana bros. OTTO Grinder Review:
An Automatic Grinder That Doesn't Suck
Do you like smoking joints, but hate rolling them?
Look no further than the Banana Bros OTTO grinder.
The Banana Bros Otto can be used as a standard herb grinder, but it's been designed to grind, and fill pre-roll joints.
This unique product has become one of my favorite stoner tools in my war chest.
It rolls perfect joints in under 30 seconds.
This grinder has been a useful tool for me as I love to smoke joints but absolutely hate spending time rolling them. Not to mention I'm not really that great of a joint roller to begin with.
The Otto by Banana Bros is a truly unique product that I had to purchase when I first stumbled upon it.
I bought mine for around $100 from VaporNation. They had the best price I could find online, and offered free shipping!
I've definitely gotten my moneys worth at this point just from the time I've saved.
The Banana Bros Otto can roll a perfect burning joint in under 30 seconds that would of taken me at least 5-10 minutes to roll if I'd tried to do it by hand. The Otto allows me to spend more time smoking joints and less time rolling them.
How Does It Work?
In comparison to other automatic grinders I've seen on the market, the Banana Bros OTTO Grinder is a bit large.
However, seeing as this is essentially an automatic joint rolling station inside a grinder... the size is totally justified.
Whether you're simply looking to grind your weed, or utilize the automatic grind function, the Otto is sure to impress. You only have to press the on button and it goes to work.
The Banana Bros OTTO Grinder is made up of only two parts, the grinder at the top, and the bottom part which is where the pre-roll is stored.
What Comes With It
1 x banana bros. OTTO Grinder
1 x Fresh Seal Cone Tube
1 x O funnel
1 x Extra Seal
1 x Cleaning Brush
1 x USB Charging Cable
1 x Cone Retention Straw
How To Use It
Its creators had efficiency and functionality in mind while engineering it.
All you have to do is use the side button to open the chamber, fill it with your stash, then snap it together.
You can easily adjust the amount you need, be it a joint’s worth or more. Following that, get an empty cone and load it into the fresh seal cone tube. The grinder will use its innovative magnetic connectors to attach to the cone tube.
The final step is to press the power button for a small while till it starts emitting light, once it does that and the grinder is fully on, press the button again to make it get to work grinding the sweet dry herb you placed in there.
The Cones
Due to the grinders design, the cones that come with it take their time burning to lengthen your smoking session and they provide you with pure taste and flavor while burning cleanly with great airflow.
Also, since they burn cleanly you no longer have to worry about canoeing. I am the kind of guy who enjoys vaping my weed more than smoking, but if you wish to smoke it, the cones are a good choice for that too.
You can also enjoy all the weed in the joint without a left over roach because of the quality filters that come with the cones. Finally when you run out of them you can easily buy a 20 pack of Banana Bros OTTO cone replacements delivered right to your door step.
I've also tried using the Raw pre-rolls as well with my Otto and they work just fine. Some pre-rolls might be a bit too big, but you can simply cut the tops off if this is the case.
My Experience Using The Otto
I'm personally a big fan of smoking joints. Even though I run this website mainly as a vaporizer review website, and most of my content is about vaporizers, I like smoking joints just as much as the next guy.
However, I've never been the best at rolling them. I can roll a decent joint, but it takes me upwards of 10 minutes to roll a single doobie.
I've tried using the standard joint rolling devices, some of you might be familiar with and I always found they made the joints too tight and didn't allow for proper airflow. They just never seem to be as good as hand-rolled joints. Not only that, but if you've ever bought a pre-roll from a dispensary you might of noticed their usually tight and don't burn that good.
When I heard there was a grinder that would take the hard work out of rolling, and also roll a joint that burns nicely, I was intrigued to say the least.
As I said previously, I bought it from VaporNation for just under $100 (using a 10% off coupon that they hooked me up with to share with my audience). Just click here and use "IMARIJUANIT" at checkout to get the deal if you're interested.
Now back to what I was saying, after buying the OTTO and spending as much as I did, I had very high hopes.
I'm happy to report that it did live up to my high expectations.
It's beyond easy to use, which I will explain more in-depth later in the article. It took no time for me to figure out how to use it, and before I knew it, I was holding a nicely rolled pre-roll.
Without going into too much detail, it rolls really nice joints. They aren't too tight at all, and they always seem to burn evenly.
To sum up my experience using the OTTO - consistent pre-rolled joints that burn much better than your average pre-roll.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Perfection of course comes with some obligations, but in my case it was a tiny price to pay for such a fantastic outcome. Since the Banana Bros OTTO delivers so much TLC, it needs to be cleaned regularly and be well maintained. Some light cleaning is required every two or three uses and very comprehensive cleaning needs to take place every ten to twelve uses. This is needed because the chamber of the OTTO grinder will have resin stuck in it. As I said earlier, the level of upkeep was truly worth it for me because of the OTTO grinder’s excellent performance which made the effort feel like nothing compared to the high reward.
Where To Get One?

Conclusion
The OTTO is the ultimate invention for stoners that love smoking joints, but hate rolling them.
It effortlessly puts together grinding and rolling for an easier and much more efficient smoking experience. In a matter of seconds it produces fantastically rolled cones containing finely ground herb.
This sleek and simplistic device eliminates the need for multiple devices or manual work from your side with pretty much no need for you to adjust or recalibrate its settings. It provides great ease in cone preparation wherever the need arises and its USB charging mechanism makes life so much easier.
All what its great performance needs from you is the click of one button and proper maintenance and cleaning. No matter how frequently you fill it up with herb, its high-grade metal death designed for maximum grinding will come through. The herbs will come out grounded to perfect consistency with little to no waste. I have gotten the most out of my weed and my wallet thanked me for.
