Powerful Electric Grain Mill Wheat Grinder for Home and Professional Use - High Speed Grain Grinder Flour Mill for Healthy Grains and Gluten-Free Flours - Electric Grain Mill by Wondermill,White

This item is excellent. We no longer by flour from the store. Easy to assemble and clean. Just put in dishwasher. Very durable. Powerful enough to grind wheat berries into flour very quickly. Every thing is ground in less than a minute. Stays cool. A little awkward to store due to size.

Let's start right with - I LOVE my WonderMill! I also have a hand-grinding mill (Back to Basics) that I have used, but decided to look around for an electric mill, because even though the B2B is great, my hands and arms got tired, quick. Have no fear though, I'll keep the B2B for when the power is out, or we go camping, it does a great fine grind. So, I did some research, and then I saw and read some comparison tests. Well, I chose the WonderMill. Just to clear up some things: YES, you can turn off your WonderMill in the middle of grinding. Whether you can do this with the older models, I don't know, but the newer models you can. The manual still states (shown below) that it 'should' never be turned off, but if you go to the video link that I included, John shows you how to do to it. The manual has not been updated, per phone call. Here is the information from the manual: "You should NEVER SWITCH OFF your mill during its milling cycle. Wait until it has finished milling all of the grain in the hopper before stopping. Starting the mill with grain in the hopper or stopping the mill while it is in process may cause your mill to clog up with flour. If you wish to mill a small amount of flour just add a small amount of grain. If an emergency occurs and you must turn off the mill before the hopper is empty, turn the texture knob to the far left, pastry setting (11 o'clock), then switch the mill off. To restart the mill, remove all grains, hold mill firmly and shake mill upside down while tapping one side of the mill, readjust the texture knob to the coarse position, then turn the mill on. If the mill only hums - Do NOT continue to try to run the mill. Call the Service Center for Assistance at 208-234-9352." And here is the updated info, via youtube video: from the company, showing how to do it: [...] ** Added: 2/3/1010 - Amazon took off video link, which I can understand, so, here is how to find it: go to youtube and in the search bar at top of page, enter "grotemolen" WITH the quotes (the quotation marks will narrow down results), and you should see the different videos that the company has put out. Click on the one titled "Turning off the Wondermill Grain Mill During Milling". ** I also called the company itself, to make sure that when I wrote my review, that I was stating accurate information, and I was told: for older models, the information in the written manual is correct - but they have done more testing, and have found that NO, you do NOT have to turn the machine upside and empty out the hopper, and NO, you do NOT have to turn the texture knob to coarse before turning it back on. I also asked about the video showing John putting the wheat berries in the hopper before turning it on and was told it is better if the machine is empty when turned on, but that it was okay if you had grain in it. So... if you need to turn off your grinder to run to the bathroom (please, wash your hands before coming back ;o)) or grab the phone that is ringing, or answer the doorbell... well, you can. Loudness of the grinder: yes, it is very loud - when empty. Presumably though you won't be running it for too long with the hopper empty, then it quiets down some while grinding and stuff is hopper, as it empties it gets louder again. For myself this is not a problem, especially after grinding up Parmesan cheese chunks in my food processor. If you've ever done that, you know what I mean. :o) Which brings me to next point: when you first go to turn it on - hold onto it - maybe it's just mine, but it jumps a little. Once it gets going it's fine, but just so you know. Also, be prepared for when the hopper empties out, that 1 or 2 grains might try to escape by flying out. ;o) As far as getting the lid off the flour canister, I agree, it originally was a pain, but, I learned a trick. Hopefully, it will work for others, and not just on mine: I turn the canister so that the part with the curved flour tube is pointed AWAY from my body and pull up on the tab that is located by the tube while my other arm is wrapped around the canister - then I have a much easier time getting lid off. As I said, hopefully that will work for others. I don't know why it works on that particular tab for me, but it does. Don't ask me why. And yes, push down on all sides to make sure that it is firmly attached before turning on machine, push down with both hands firmly until you hear loud click - I learned that lesson very well. Here are some things to hopefully help others when they get their machine: When you first get your mill, you're told to run at least 2 cups of wheat or other hard grain, well, I wasn't willing to throw away good wheat, so, I used rice instead, and did 3 cups, just to be safe. No problems. It was also a good way to test the texture settings for me. The curved flour tube does NOT come off and does not pull straight out sideways! It becomes easier to move with usage, but first time might be a little tough. I'm right handed so here is how I do it: place my left hand, flat, on top of canister with tube side facing right, I take my thumb and hook it just into the hole and lay my forefinger along the side of tube for stability, and gently pull up and around. Basically you will be 'flipping' the tube horizontally, without removing it. When I first got machine, I hand washed all that could be washed, and wiped down the hopper part, then I milled my first grind, which was the throw-a-way rice, when you go to grind, make sure that the filter is on the machine and that you put the separator cup back on correctly (line the flat side of cup up with flat tab - I used a marker and made alignment arrows for ease). I forgot that first time, and made giant mess. Just an FYI. Another reviewer talks about lining the canister with plastic bag and that it helps with clean up - I have not tried that, but it sounds like it would work, I'll add addendum when I try it next week. Just ground up 6 cups of wheat so won't need more until then. Hope that this review helps someone else and clears up a little of the confusion that seems to be around about this machine.

This is an excellent grain mill. The price may scare away a few customers, but taking into account that there is a six year warranty that goes along with it, it is well worth the price. The mill has many great qualities which include the grains that you can mill, its capacity, how quiet it is, and the warranty. The only negative would be the size of the entire mill. I will describe each of the points: Types of grains-There is a wide array of grains that are listed that this mill can grind, including wheat, oats, rice, spelt, rye, millet, buckwheat chick peas and various dried beans and corn. The manual gives a very extensive list of things that can be milled, as well as things that should never be put into the mill. In addition, the product website lists a small grain attachment that can be purchased that allows you to mill other grains including tapioca and salt. We have used the mill for hard wheat, and have been very impressed with how fine the flour is. The only other grain that we have milled to date is oat, and the mill was able to do it, however with less ease than it was able to grind the oats. It appears that you need to get a feel for each individual grain. Capacity-The mill can grind 8 cups of grain at once, which results in 10 cups of flour. We are used to grinding on a much smaller scale, and being able to do so much at one time has been wonderful. The flour container is also a wonderful addition, although it does make the whole set up rather large. As I already mentioned, the flour is very fine. The bread that we have been making with this flour has been the lightest whole wheat bread that we have ever had. Quiet-Our previous mill was very LOUD. The first time we ran this mill we were surprised at how quiet it was. To be able to grind grains so fine, at such a fast rate and being extremely quiet is wonderful. Warranty-This was a major selling point. We use our mill for all of our flour, and use it constantly. For a purchase of this magnitude we wanted something with a very good warranty. This warranty is the best that I have found. It has a lifetime warranty on the milling heads, and a six year warranty on everything else. An important caveat regarding the warranty is that it has to be purchased from a licensed dealer. If you purchase the mill from an unauthorized dealer, the dealer is considered the original owner and the warranty does not apply. They have a list of approved dealers on line, and were very helpful when I called to very that the dealer that was selling through amazon was an authorized dealer. Size-The only negative is the size, but this is a slight negative. It is really large, and finding a spot for it in the cabinets took a little bit of rearranging. Other than that (and the apparent difference between different grains in the milling efficiency) we have been very happy with it. We are enjoying having all the whole grain flour that we want,as well as making wonderful baked goods.

I had owned a wheat grinder for almost 10 years. It was a used scratch and dent model from the showroom. Let's just say I got what I paid for, and ended thinking I would never buy a wheat grinder again. But with the pandemic and flour hard to come by I tried again. I have LOVED this model! It has exceeded all my expectations, especially after my last experience. First the flour - it is so finely ground. I love it. I have only ground wheat, but the flour is fine and good quality for baking. To me it feels similar to the wheat flour I buy in the grocery store ground by a big mill. There is a setting for an even finer flour for pastas, but I have only used the bread flour mode. Second noise level - This is probably my favorite aspect of the mill. It is so quiet compared to other mills I have used. I would compare the noise level to a vacuum. Third how messy is it - There is almost no mess to clean up after using it. I love that! My last would blow flour particles everywhere, but this keeps the flour all self contained. It's easy to clean the nozzle and flour container. It all very simple and effective. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I loved this product so much I wanted to share my experience with it.

I love my Wonder Mill. I can easily make nutritious flour for my bread. Buyer beware though as the Seller Kitchen Boutique charged me $712.38 before taxes on Amazon and a few days later another seller was selling the same product for $450.00 before taxes. I contacted the seller "Kitchen Boutique" hoping that they would have excellent Customer Service and refund me the difference. Nope, they were not interested in doing so and didn't care about me as a Customer. They even claimed they were the lowest-priced Seller. I got on the internet and quickly found 5 other Sellers that were selling for much less. I was so disappointed in Kitchen Boutique. Whatever happened to good Customer Service?

Works wonderfully - no complaints

I love this grinder! It is so powerful and at the same time does not take much space in my counter and super light and easy to use. You will say by the look that is cheap material but the power on this machine is amazing and the plastic body makes it supper easy to move around and it is very good quality! I highly recommend!! Shipping was supper fast I got it next day that I purchase. Very very very happy with this mill! Ah I was forgetting to say that I I had grind herbs and dry bean with not issues at all!! You can choose how fine you want anything it is supper cool!! Buy this instead of made in Ch you won’t regret!

Exactly as described, does a good job. Grinds noticeably finer than my Vita-mix. Loud but not overly so for a grinder. It's very fast so it's only on for 30 seconds to a minute so no big deal. Throw a tea towel over the receiving bin when you start it up because there's an initial small 'poof' of flour into the air. After that, no mess. Easy to clean. All settings seem to grind pretty much the same fine grind. Not an issue for me because I bought it specifically to fine grind flour.

It is too noisy and the temperature of flour is close to max around 110F. Fast and reliable.
