Just received this spice grinder. Was very pleased it came with 3 spice grinder detachable cups. The unit feels sturdy and looks quality built. Unfortunately after about 30 seconds of pulsing the motor started smoking! This is advertised as commercial and literally started smoking after grinding a half cup of kosher salt. I have ordered many other Waring products and I know they can do better than this. I'm hoping I just got a defective unit. I would like this replaced or refunded.

Way underpowered motor. I was grinding dried peppers, then switched to dried herbs. Hand crushed at first, then run through a blender, then into the tiny cup. Ground herbs up nicely, at first. 10 seconds, everything was powder. Perfect. After about 20 minutes of 10 seconds on, 30 or more seconds off, the motor started making a funny sound, then smell, then smoke. I can't imagine what nuts, cinnamon or nutmeg would do to it. Based on other reviews, it looks like there was a bad batch of motors that got into circulation and unfortunately, it looks like i got one of them.

Not recommended for the price. Bought this less than a year ago and it has already stopped working. We only use it every other week or so, and mostly for grinding black pepper and fennel seeds. Not at all durable, might as well buy 3 cheaper models.

I make my own bird food and for the smaller birds I have to grind up the food so they can eat it. for over a year now I have been burning up the motors in the grinders that I have used. about one new grinder a month just trying to make 25 lbs of food. I had told this to a friend who works for a zoo doing the same thing. she told me they use the Waring grinder too, to make their foods. so I order one (the price was good because I paid more for some of the other ones I used) and it works great the first time I used it I grinded up 25 lbs of food fast and the motor never got hot. the grinding bowls you get are bigger and you get three grinding bowls with lids, has a high-performance commercial grade motor Read More

I purchased this spice grinder for my wholesale bakery. It gets used frequently and has performed well. The extra grinding cups with lids are very useful for storing unused spices. I'd buy this item again. I would give it a 5 star rating if the grinding cups were a bit larger.

AVOID Buying this grinder!! It started to smell like burning plastic on the first day of use. I paid to expedite shipping - now I do not have working grinder for holidays, customer service refuses to accept returns. They offered the replacement from manufacturer sometime in the next couple weeks. Very disappointed, I need a refund. Please consider another option.

This thing is a beast. It can get a good grind on relatively small quantities of spice and handle a full cup of whole nutmegs. The removable and washable parts are so worth it. My only complaint is that the plastic lid is pretty brittle and cracks very easily.

This thing is a beast! Used to grind annato seeds several times a week. Annato is basically like tiny pebbles, and almost impossible to grind. This thing is almost indestructible

This product is heavy duty enough for everyday restaurant use, and small and convenient enough that you can freshly grind spices everyday for maximum freshness. We have extra lids/cups on hand for storage.

I love this spice grinder, it will take anything that I put into it. It does a very good job at getting a consistent texture. The only thing I do not like about it is that I can be hard to clean the base on the inside. Other than that I love it and will most likely buy the larger model.

This grinder gets the job done. It is very easy to use and easy to clean. Unfortunately, it comes apart rather easily too. You have to give some sweat to get it back together properly, but it’s possible. Still worth the price.

This was a lot more powerful and came with more containers than I thought. I love it. Being able to grind any spice I want fresh gives me great flexibility and freshness with all of my spices. You can make your spices coarse or very fine, it is up to you.

If you grind all your own herbs. As I do. In a very large quality. This is the device for you. I purchased a well known name brand. But with cheap parts. After 30 seconds. It burned out...literally. So, I put in the extra money & purchased this. You can not go wrong. Can handle large quantities at long periods of time. Worth every penny.

This grinder will power through just about anything. Nutmeg? Yes. The detachable grinding bowl is a great feature for cleaning up, and the lid keeps most of the mess contained (though there are some areas of the lid that are difficult to clean). If you grind lots of things, this is a workhorse. I would not recommend this for grinding coffee (use a burr grinder instead).

I purchased for my Wife's INDORANCH RESTAURANT AND MARKET located in lake Forest Ca. Even though this is not recommended for commercial use it does a good job of grinding black rice into flout which she uses to make Indonesian cookies. I would rate this 4 Stars for making rice flour (even though this is not the intent of Waring) as it is time consuming. 5 STAR for home use. Love the 3 grinding cups. and the products and service, that I receive, from WEBESTAURANT. STORE.

Every business should own a spice grinder. It allows for you to buy un-ground products for cheaper then have freshly ground spices to cook with. Until you have fresh ground spices you really don't know what a big difference it makes.
