Worst Mill We Have Ever Used
We have used many types of grain mills, and this one was by far the worst. We used triple cleaned grain, and were experienced with the use of grain mills.
It was not significantly quieter than the K-tec, and had numerous problems. All I can think is that people who like it lack the experience to know that there is anything better, or just never used it much!
The worst aspect of the design is the tube that goes from the mill to the bin. It is CURVED, so you really can't clean it out! And it clogs easily - it narrows dramatically right where it attaches to the bin. When it clogs, it impacts flour up into the mill - causing a problem that you may or may not be able to fix yourself. The tube could also get impacted if you accidentally started or stopped the mill when there was wheat in the hopper - something which happens with regular frequency given the propensity of the mill to shut down unexpectedly in operation (or to have to be shut down).
The tube...
best of the best
We have used grain mills of various manufacture, makes, models, and power for over 30 years. I still have 6 still operational units of various types taking up space in my workshop. But there is only one in the kitchen, and as long as there is electricity flowing through the kitchen circuitry, that is all you will find there if my wife has anything to say about it. We have a Whisper Mill that sees nearly daily duty grinding flour for two families. This machine is at least 15 years old and has never, repeat never once failed to produce an outstanding quality product whether it is wheat, rice, quinoa (sp?), amaranth, you name a common grain and it has been through this machine. I read the review of the individual who has had so many issues and I can't believe we are talking about the same machine. We have replaced one piece on our machine in the years we have had it, that is the foam filter in the top of the product container. I bough a packet of 3 several years ago and still...
Works great for us
I love this thing. Not having had a wheat grinder ever it seems "loud" (it kind of sounds like an air plane taking off) but it isn't deafening. I've ground grains while my 2 year old slept in her room which shares a wall with the kitchen.
It works well. It's easy to clean. I love having the container that closes. Good product!
