The Motor

It is the best grinder!

OMG! Great help when making large batches of applesauce for home canning! My arm doesn’t get tired. I don’t need to take a break! Love it.

I bought this a little over a year ago. It worked great, with no issues except maybe a couple times it overheated. Basically was used late spring through late fall before I put it away. Fast forward to a couple days ago, it ground one cup of flour before it died. At $70-ish, it's cheaper than the large units, but I'm not sure it was made for as much use as I put it through.

First one got stuck and had to exchange it. New one works well and grinds red wheat berries to a fine flour. I like it so far!!

I hand turned for about a year and this is life changing!!!!!

I've had the grain mill that this attaches to for a few years and finally got tired of using it by hand (especially during the summer I'll work up a sweat just grinding enough for a single loaf of bread). This makes it as easy as flipping a switch.Important note: I may not be the normal target market for home grain mills (I'm an able-bodied 30-something year old dude who just happens to like rustic baking), but I can grind grain by hand way faster than this thing does. If you need to grind a lot and don't care about having the option of doing it by hand, you may very well be better off getting a standalone mill that has a motor integrated into it. For me, this was the cheapest reliable option as I already had the mill, and I can just set it to run while I'm doing dishes or whatever so the time it takes doesn't bother me.

If you don't get the EXACT motor it's a worthless purchase. It doesn't work for most mills and you will have to figure out how to keep it in place if you have a basic mill. Be careful what you purchase-otherwise, you'll lose money.

I was happy with my hand-crank grain mill but recently added this motor. It makes milling my own grains so much easier.
