Impressively solid build quality
UPDATE JUNE 2022:Unit continues to perform very well, but I noticed the motor housing was getting hotter and hotter with each use (even though these were generally <90 seconds). Another reviewer mentioned their unit was overheating due to having internal wiring designed to operate at 220 Volts, rather than 110V. When I opened my unit up, I noticed I was well on the way towards burning off the insulation on the wires supplying the electric motor. I replaced these wires with 12 Gauge, stranded copper wire. This completely solved the problem; now my unit hardly heats up at all.This seems like a potential SAFETY HAZZARD, particularly for units run for lengthy periods in dusty conditions (like grinding flour). If your unit seems to be getting hot, I suggest you check your motor wiring for deterioration.```````````````Original review: April 2021```````````````````````````````````````I needed a better method to grind the grains and spices I use for bread baking. I bought a "used-like new" unit, which saved me about $40 off a brand new one. Aside from a small remnant of what looked like almonds in the chamber, the unit did appear brand new. It is a heavy, sturdy, not-messing-around machine. The only controls are on/off and a timer, so it takes a little practice to learn how long to process each food to your desired finenss.A couple of examples: my unit ground sage (leaves, stems and small branches) to a flour-like consistency in about 90 seconds. Brown rice only took 60 seconds to reach flour-like fineness. Coffee beans got to a coarse grind in about 10 seconds, and to espresso fineness in 20.The unit is somewhat noisy, but certainly less so than doing these same jobs with a blender or food processor. I should also note that the unit works by beating rather than cutting. The blade assembly is quite heavy, and just pounds things into a powder. On the subject of blades: my unit shipped with two spare blades, as well as 2 sets of replacement brushes for the electric motor. There are clear instructions on how to replace both. This, along with the weight and studriness of the unit, indicates to me it will last a long time even under heavy use.Also included was a small brush for cleaning, and a fine-mesh sieve that fits over the top of the unit. I can recommend this unit to anyone who grinds dry items into flour. After years of grinding dry ingredients (not very well) with a food processor or blender, I'm ecstatic with this unit's performance.

It's exactly what I ordered
It works terrific. I realized during my first use that I was able to allow the grinder to cool down as I sifted the flour to ensure it was as finely ground as I wanted. I'm super pleased with my purchase. It's easy to use, grinds super fine and a great value for the price. The noise level was a bit higher than expected, but not bad. The packing, instructions and extra attachments were a great plus.

Under powered motor and poorly made. Don’t get electrocuted turning the unit on…
The size of grinding bowl was good and the items worked decently well for dry ingredients like rice and lentils but it would not work with nuts. The motor seems very weak and under powered for the size of the bowl. The base was also flimsy in comparison to the bowl and locking mechanism. After the third time starting the unit the motor started to smoke but kept running. The biggest issue for me was the start stop button that sparked every time the unit started orStopped. The fuse also tripped on the unit a few times. The fuse itself was very loose and moved as if it wasn’t tightened fully during manufacturing. I don’t know how I feel about electric sparks being visible from the unit, I didn’t feel safe turning the unit on after my fourth try and decided to return the unit. The power cord was also very loose and didn’t secure tightly into the unit. This was not what I expected for a unit over $100. This was more like a cheaply made $45 unit. I wouldn’t recommend the unit.

Quality of flour is great, just can't withstand commercial usage.
The machine is better quality to this knock-off we purchased through e-Bay. The flour it made was great and takes about 5 minutes when you're operating it at full capacity like we were. We were using it for 4-6 hours per week to go through about 25 lbs of raw material.However, we had to take apart the machine because it began to intermittently start and abruptly stop. Upon doing so, we noticed that the wiring was for 220v (China's standard) and needed to be double the gauge for 110v for usage in the US. From our heavy usage, some of the wires actually melted together by the plastic sheathing due to the heat generated by them, even burning a little to the plastic case covering the controls.Overall, the quality of flour it produce was very fine and suited our purpose but likely due to the high demand/usage on our part did the machine not live up to our needs.

Exactly what I needed
This is my second product purchase, and I must express my utmost satisfaction. It is an exceptional product that meets my kitchen needs perfectly. The ability to grind all ingredients into a fine powder is truly remarkable. I highly recommend it and would rate it five stars with two thumbs up. I have been using it for over a week now, and it has proven to be invaluable.
