Electric Herb Grinder 200w Spice Grinder Compact Size, Easy On/Off, Fast Grinding for Flower Buds Dry Spices Herbs, with Pollen Catcher and Cleaning Brush 1.7oz Capacity (White)

Gets the job done. Have used it for quite a few types of food items. Good value. Would purchase again, 100%.

The item had definitely been used and cleaned several times as 1/2 of the logo on the front is no longer there. Also, I received the grinder filthy and covered in coffee grinds inside and out. Not truly the seller's fault, that's why I kept the rating at 5, but they should inspect returned items before sending them out. Anyways, once I scrubbed and cleaned the grinder, I tried using it, half expecting it not to work but was pleasantly surprised - the little grinder worked like a charm, and it ground up my dried vanilla beans without a problem in about 30 seconds. My wrists are extremely thankful to no longer have to manually grind my vanilla beans, and I love having a stash of ground vanilla to use for my yogurts and smoothies. As for the item being pre-used and the logo being half gone - I purchased it while on sale and it works great (I tried different electric grinders in the past without success), so I am extremely happy with this tiny but mighty grinder product and really can't complain about price, quality, etc.

I bought this grinder for a singular purpose of grind one thing. However I decided to try it out first on an assortment of hard spices to test the strength and grinding fineness of the motor/blades. Well after trying out on peppercorns, hazelnuts and cinnamon...color me impressed. The motor feels quite powerful for the size of the unit and the blades eventually catch all of the particles over the course of about 30-40 secs and some pulsing to grind all of the aforementioned things above into dust. (see pics of the ground peppercorns and pic showing them on top of store bought ground black pepper) Also something that impressed me was when. I purchased this item several months ago, there was only the description of the grinder being in the box, but upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised to see that the order also included a spoon and brush combo as well as a pollen sifter w/ two pollen scrapers. The pollen sifter will work great if you grind specific herbs that you would like to keep the finest of the dust to coat something in. Perhaps...I don't know, whats that stuff all the cool kids are into now? Sun Stones? Lunar Sediment? I can't remember. But anyway, I guess that's the good of the product. So why only 4 stars? Okay, this is what perplexed me, the cup is not removable at all. Technically you could unscrew it but that would be more trouble than what its worth. So you must clean the the cup out with a wet cloth or sponge. Remember the brush they provided? Well, although I appreciate the gesture the brush doesn't do a great job of removing all the sediment and fine dust from the cup. As a matter of fact the heat produced from the grinding process causes the ground product to adhere quite strongly to the sides of the cup. The brush simply isn't designed to handle that. So if you are grinding "heat sensitive" things, keep in mind your going to want to have a more appropriate tool to properly collect all your grinding. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, be VERY careful when washing the lid. There is a small, thin plastic tab (see pic) that serves as the activator for the grinder. If you break this tab as I have no doubt that someone has, then you are up the fabled fecal creek without a paddle. But, you will have a brand new paperweight, so there's that. It takes VERY little pressure to activate the grinder once you put the lid on. You will most likely still be "trying to put the lid on" when it suddenly whirs to life. All in all...I'm pleased with this product. Its not perfect by any means but good enough.

Perfect little grinder

I got this specifically to daily grind a small amount of flax seeds for use in my oats. I was worried that the blade design would require me to add a good amount of seeds. I was afraid that a small about i.e. 1.5 teaspoons would lie below the blade and not be chopped. The blade runs across the center mount just like a lawn mower blade. However only one side has a cutting edge. The other side of this same singular piece of steel must help make these tiny flax seeds fly up into the path of the cutting edge. This grinder really does a great job of pulverizing the flax seeds. The end result is as fine as what you'll get in a jar of toasted wheat germ. The long spoon/brush works perfectly for brushing out the ground flax seeds.

I have been trying to find a grinder for medications. This was the second model tried. It did a marvelous of pulverizing the pills. The problem was that the fine dust was just blown out of the bowl, all over the cover, the grinder, and the table. See the photo.... white powder everywhere. OK, this is advertised as a spice grinder. But if that spice grinds into a fine powder, it will be everywhere. They need a better method for sealing the bowl and cover. It is well built and easy to use.

Without any outside impact, incorrect cleaning, environmental exposures, or having ground only whole spices since my purchase 8/2023, the plastic cover above the cutting blade just cracked and mixed with the spices. I just noticed it in time before mixing the spices into the recipe. The plastic piece should be replaced with something more durable to avoid potential health hazards. Other than that, I would have given it a 4 star.

(Don’t use this for coffee beans, it’s not meant for it and your grounds will be too fine) It works great for dry herbs, spices, and related items. It can reduce to a very fine powder, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you don’t want it to be super fine, don’t blend for as long. It comes with helpful cleaning tools with the little brush and all that which has been nice. Easy to clean over all, but the metal receptacle doesn’t detach so there are somewhat limited options on it. Also, make sure to apply even pressure across the cap when blending or some finer particles may leak out around the sides. Probably the only operational complaint (besides getting very hot after running for several seconds straight) Over all I am very happy with this product and would recommend.

Grinder works good. This came with it and I have no idea what it is or used for.
