The pros: it is sturdy and well made, it looks like it will not break easily. It works well. The cons: You have to get a screwdriver out and take it apart to clean it. (Very easily done so I will just keep a screwdriver in my kitchen). They say you don't have to clean it often but it seems like the flour would attract bugs if not kept clean. The other con: It grinds slowly. But it was $100 less than the other grinder I was looking at and I didn't want to spend that. Plus, I am not grinding flour every day. I would recommend this product.

the mill is great, I love it. I did read the entire manual and did know that oil was inside and it needed to be cleaned, but it wasn't clear how to do that especially when I couldn't get the large front screws off, it has a small hex nut and I couldn't be sure that it was not the way to disassemble. I went to live chat, she told me to use it without cleaning, I knew from the manual that there can be NO oil or moisture in the mill or it will gum up. I did get my answer, it is the large screws and once the were off it was easy to clean and use. It should have a better indicator that it is indeed the screws and it needs to be much clearer that the mill must be cleaned before use, your live chat representative did not know.

I love being able to grind my own flour. In order to have a finer flour, I ran the grain through the mill 3 times. My first loaf of bread turned out better than I had expected and it tasted great. I love the convenience of being able to use my KitchenAid mixer in so many ways. I liked being able to purchase an attachment for the mixer rather than having to but a stand-alone, electric mill that would have been more expensive. Some time ago, I was given a stand-along electric mill and after one use could not use it anymore because of the noise it made. The KitchenAid mill attachment is much more quiet and useable in the house. As I have already said, I love being able to grind my own flour. Another way of putting it - I love KitchenAid Mill

The mill works well. It’s easy to use. When grinding fine material to very fine be sure to help the material to “flow” into the auger. The fine setting is very similar to store bought flour. Realize that grinding takes time. Be sure to follow directions to allow mixer motor to cool after a specified time.

Just the brand name speaks to the quality. And its purpose allows you to start from a more basic ingredient and more carefully attend to providing nutrition to your family. I have not yet used it since I’m not sure it will like grinding my almonds. The internet says that oily things may plug the mill and while it speaks specifically of peanuts, I am worried about almonds and their oil content.
