I bought this because Consumer's Reports said there was very little difference in the grind consistency of this grinder and the grind of the much more expensive burr grinders. Plus the little plastic pieces looked so fragile that regardless of the 15% return charge and then shipping both ways, I was afraid that it would become more of a disaster than it already was, so back it went. They were right about that after I finally got it put together. It took me over 30 minutes to find how it turned to close and lock. Cleaning , also, was at least another hour. It did grind coffee nicely, though, lots better than my old one, but I would rather pay a little more for a durable simple to operate and assemble appliance, so, now I am looking again.
Have used a year and a half now and it works as good as the day it was new. Very consistent from day to day and cleans up easily. Would highly recommend. I figured when I received this as a gift, it probably cost $50-$60, At $20 I was blown away.
Other grinders have caused some problems with static electricity, where the ground coffee sticks to the plastic and then ends up everywhere.not so much with this one. This is not a burr grinder, but it's convenient, cleans up easily, and does a more than adequate job. I've had more expensive grinders that didn't work as well. Would definitely buy another one; in fact I may buy one just to use for spices.Nice looking, doesn't take up a lot of space. Can't beat it for the money.
The second time I used the grinder the programming feature failed to work. It did grind the beans by holding down the button. I am disappointed that it failed as I liked the features.
After daily use over the past several months, this grinder is still going strong and is a breeze to use and clean up. For those worried about counter space, it is small enough to slip into a cupboard easily or to simply leave out.If only everything in my life were this well designed.
