A buddy of mine used to work the sushi counter at a Daiei near university and had an industrial-sized one of these. Oddly, he never let me have a go :(

I prefer temaki. Just throw out the cut nori sheets and the various ingredients with a bucket of sushi rice and you're set.
Let your friends roll their own favorites, or try new ones.
I enjoy hand rolls more, probably because of the crisp nori.
