Customer Rating: Summary: Great low cost burr grinder Comment: I purchased this factory grinder from an on line clearing house at a good price for about the cost of a blade grinder. I have had it three months and it replaced a Hamilton Beach blade unit I had for some 30 plus years. I love the unit. Yes there is a very small amount of grinds that collect from static but if you want glass and no static, you should have purchased a more expensive unit. IF one taps the collector before taking off the lid, most the static grinds come loose and yes, one has to clean it out maybe once a week. This grinder does what I need, and at a very competitive price. I think some of the reviewers want a high end product for middle pricing. Customer Rating: Summary: Works PERFECTLY! Comment: I am so glad I purchased this! It works just like it is new and came packaged as though it was fresh from production. I had bought a reconditioned toaster oven from Cuisinart, and it worked great too! I would trust this company to purchase other reconditioned goods as well.
The variation of grind is wonderful on this grinder, and the hopper is always free of any beans after I grind -- no stragglers deep inside to get stale and sour the next pot.
It looks great on the counter too. NOISE: It would wake the dead in the next state over, but all grinders are noisey so I don't mind :) Customer Rating: Summary: As noisy as a power saw with bad bearings... Comment: This grinder does grind the beans reasonably well. And the presets for coarseness and quantity function OK...worth 2 stars.
But, the device is SO loud that you will either need to leave the room...or...you can do what I do & use the following ear protection:
Milwaukee 49-17-3300 Heavy Duty Folding Ear Muffs, NRR 28 db. The plastic hopper also does tend to build up a static charge, preventing some of the grounds from pouring out...a scoop can be used, though.
Also, I recommend ordering this separate from other items, because Amazon's packers frequently do not adequately isolate multiple items [I had ordered peanut butter that had broken open and leaked all over and got into my grinder...although I do not think the oil spill caused the loudness. Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE THIS GRINDER!! Comment: This is an awesome grinder. Got it for my department at work and everyone is just raving at how much better the coffee tastes. For the price I spent, the level of coffee satisfaction was well worth it!! It is very easy to operate and since it shuts off at the amount of cups you specify, even those who wouldn't make the coffee before feel good about making a fresh pot for the office. It came very quickly and in great condition. Customer Rating: Summary: Want to break up your marriage? Comment: OK, it was really inexpensive, and ground coffee OK, but the noise level was unacceptable, and I'm a guy who works all day with woodworking machinery! My usually-unflappable wife was approaching the "it goes or I do" point when I pulled the plug (figuratively, too!) and gave it away, along with a pair of ear plugs. Domestic tranquility ensued.
WARNING!!! You would definitely NOT want to run this machine with a hangover.
