High quality must have grain mill!
Have had this mill for 11 years now. It came highly recommended by friend and has not disappointed! Has a dial setting to adjust fine or more course grind.Contrary to reviews about flour blowing , you must follow the directions! Use the filter over the air vent and properly attach the grain bin that catches the flour.Once the once the container begins to be mostly full of ground flour you need to stop and empty it. If you continue grinding, the flour has no where to go and will blow out. I can grind about 2-3 pounds of berries before I stop to empty the container. It does not leave flour all over my kitchen. I typically grind about 7.5 pounds of wheat berries at a time with 1-2 breaks to empty the container depending on how fine I grind the flour.The only negative is that it is loud unless they have adjusted for that since I bought mine in 2014. I wear hearing protection same as when I shoot. It is worth it and a big deal.The blendtec is fast and efficient. It is easy to use and understand. I have not had any issues with it all these years. It is obviously high quality and highly durable.I would definitely buy it again!

Easy to use, clean and store - produces excellent flour from many grains. Excellent little mill!
This mill can't be beat for this price. I am really glad we got this one.The pros: This mill does grind a variety of flours, is inexpensive and simple. Easy cleaning, easy storage are other +The con - it only produces pretty fine milled flour, real coarse grinding is not possible. It can also happen that a kernel jumps out of the top while grinding but it is rare and no big deal.So far I ground oats, rye and quinoa. All three grind nicely into a very nice fine flour (on the "coarsest" setting, I don't even want to try the fine setting....)The grinding goes fast and there is some noise to it - while full it sounds like a coffee grinder and when it empties it sounds like a jet engine. Actually quite cool :-)For our two people household this grinder is more than enough.The bread I made from the freshly ground flour was really awesome. Having the flour so fine also has advantages for the quality of the baked good.

Does what it suppose to.
Does what it should. Make sure it’s hooked on the sides before you start milling. I do for safety wrap a towel around the seal so the flour doesn’t float out but most of the time it’s sealed ok. It does take a lot to clean. I use a pastry brush but the flour does float around in the air. I don’t think it’s to load.

Fatal Design Flaws, Terrible Packaging
For 25 years, I had a virtually identical mill to this (originally manufactured by K-Tec at that time). It was a work horse -- loud, but otherwise great. Simple to use, easy to clean, very fast at grinding. Its only down-sides were that it was loud, and one latch developed a crack. I kept expecting the crack to get bigger and break off -- but it never did! Finally I managed to break the thing myself by grinding corn that wasn't quite dry enough -- it gummed up the gears, and it was unrepairable.I hoped that the newer Blentec version would be as good, but after ordering and returning FIVE units (three via Amazon, two directly from Blentec), I keep running into the same problems, so I am done trying it. The problems with every unit I got were: 1) The side latches. I'd clip one side down, and then I couldn't get the other one to latch, or it would barely latch and then pop up during grinding. 2) The hopper. In my old one, the grain fed itself down into the tube, right down to the last wheat (or rye, etc.) berry. I never had to nudge it along. With these new units, I have to keep pushing the grain down almost INTO the hole (yikes), or it just stops flowing. 3) Expelled grains. It kept spitting out wheat berries, so I ended up with all these grains on the counter and the floor. If I had kept it, I would have had to cover it with a dishtowel or something.Let me add that the reason I kept ordering and returning units was that the packaging was so lousy that at first I kept thinking the mills didn't work properly because they were damaged in transit. Amazon would send them to me rolling around in big boxes three times their size with NO packing material. Blentec was the opposite problem: they shipped it in a box that just exactly fit the unit, with no room for any packing material around it. The only thing padding it was the cardboard of the box itself.In conclusion: I do NOT recommend this unit. Sadly, I have to give up on Blentec. And in researching to find a different brand of mill, I will go somewhere like Pleasant Hill Grain -- which ships things way more carefully.

Just what I needed.
This makes short work of large amounts of wheat berries. In the 70's I ground my own grain using a hand mill. It was arduous and slow. This grinds wheat berries into a fine flour almost as fast as I can pour. Initially I failed to secure the clamps tightly and generated a lot of flour dust, but I should have carefully read the instructions. I just made my first batch of bread starting with hard red wheat berries. My dough was fine textured and my French loaves were excellent. Using freshly ground flour makes a difference, and I know the source of my wheat.
