The grinding chamber is made of clear plastic easy to see what you’re grinding

The container is poor quality plastic and gets damages very fast

I’ve had at least 3-4 different items break in the last year or so due to use of weak plastic

The plastic is some cheap 1930s plastic that shatters if you breathe on it too hard

When washed , the bowl retains water & bits of what has been ground between the clear plastic and metal bowl.

know why companies continue to use weak plastic in areas of high stress

Bits of black plastic are now appearing in the removable grinding chamber, which makes me wonder just how long I have been drinking plastic particles that have been grinding off this device while it's in use.

+ low price+ relatively low noise- lower quality materials, Plastic housing feels "cheesy," metal blades seem thin, I will keep my fingers crossed to see how long it lasts+/- although the grounding container comes off for cleaning which is nice, it is however made of cheap plastic that might not resist smells and discoloration...time will tell

Cheap plastic I guess.

I loved this for grinding up spices and low-carb sweeteners but unfortunately within 4 months the plastic piece the blade slides onto broke in half and now my grinder won't work

I use it now for over 1.5 years and it still works as on day one.

We actually bought this to grind up egg shells vs coffee beans as we already have a fine grinder

A coffee grinder is defective if it can't grind finer as you hold it longer

Works perfect for grinding coffee beans as well as when I needed to grind peppers

I was dumbfounded as to how fine this grinder grinded the shells

Please don’t buy this product as it broke after few

Works as it’s supposed to.

Ugly but it works as the part is not available at Hamilton Beach.

Pretty quiet for a grinder..and I love the detachable base ... makes it real easy to pour out the grinds, as well as to clean!!

Seems it is overspeeding and burning up the motor as with #2 or breaking the shaft as with #3.

Quit grinding as it should and today it just quit

The coffee grinder works as it should

This one works well and is easy to clean as we use it only for coffee.

Speaks for itself, easy to use and its quiet as can be!

A bit tedious to clean the oil around the blades as they do not come off, but only takes a few extra seconds.

Works as it says

Works exactly as I expected.

Use if for fresh coffee as well as for grinding nutmeg and pepper corns

n’t wake the whole house grinding beans in the morning.

n’t have a lot of space in your kitchen, like me.

Fast and good~I like~
