This grinder works extremely well and overall, I'm pleased. However, I have 3 issues about the design:
1. It’s a little louder than expected,
2. It’s a little messy. The bin has no spout so it is difficult to pour the grounds out when they are done. Also, it gets staticy and the grounds cling to the plastic, so you have to open it up every now and then and clean it out really good.
3. Grinds too many beans for settings of 6 cups or more and grinds way too little for anything below 6 cups.
I would recommend this grinder to anyone who is interested in enhancing the flavor of their coffee but doesn't want to spend a fortune. It has its cons but it is definitely worth the price you pay and more. Overall it is a great beginner's burr grinder and definitely worth the money if it last longer than a year or two. Thanks!

This grinder works well. It's a little different than the blade grinder. The beans go in the hopper up on top and fall through the shoot into two spinning wheels where the beans get crushed. The grounds come out very uniformly and you can select a grind size for different kinds of brews. I was told that a burr grinder is best for french press. So that’s why I got this grinder.
Overall, this isn't a bad grinder for the money. One issue, not really a problem, is that it’s loud. Most grinders make noise, this one is not only noisy but almost deafening. However, I can deal with it because it does the job. It also fits nicely on the counter and looks good too.
