 Great Grinder - BUT.... August 30, 2008

Look this is a great grinder, but it keeps on breaking down. REVEL please take note your losing customers.
 the best grinder I've ever had, but flawed June 6, 2008

A wet and dry grinder is the most indispensable item in our kitchen, since my family loves to grind up pastes, pesto and the like on a daily basis - not to mention grinding spices and nuts
This grinder, when it works, does the best grinding job I've ever experienced in the home. But all sorts of things go wrong with it - in two years I've actually had 3 of these, all broken - I'm now on my 4th. You may think I'm a glutton for punishment, but like I said, absolutely nothing out there works as well as these little monsters.
My advice to anyone desperate for a good grinder is, buy it from Lakeland, (they will happily replace it for you) and use it with your fingers crossed.

It is a very powerful and effective grinder and the bowl is easily washed but it is very noisy and the spindle has broken on ours although it has only had limited useage. I see from other reviews that is a common fault so on balance it is to be avoided, in my opinion.
Noisy (and dangerous?). April 3, 2008

As with a previous reviewer, I experienced the electric shock off the pins after unplugging the device. A nasty surprise, but probably not dangerous. It is also very, very, noisy, as another reviewer also mentioned, so it is not recommended for early morning usage.
 Nice piece of kit - shame the bowl isn't bigger March 19, 2008

Very impressed with this - it certainly takes a lot of effort out of making up pastes etc. I was a bit wary of other users comments on this site but if you're careful to only use the grinder for 5 second bursts and allow 5 seconds to rest between bursts (as recommended by Revel) then I'm sure the grinder will last the distance.
To test, I filled the bowl with cashew nuts and with 5 seconds of grinding they were almost entirely reduced to powder. Although there were still a few chunks left, another quick blitz and they were gone. This would have taken several minutes hard labour even with my massive granite mortar and pestel.
The next test was a bit more severe. I had dry fried about 100g of desicated coconut, 12 garlic cloves, cinnamon bark, cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, 4 dried thai chilies and a whole chopped onion. All together, this lot practically filled a 12" frying pan.
The grinder bowl is on the small side so grinding the above mixture had to be done in many batches. It took 3-4 5 second bursts to grind each batch down to a fairly fine paste. Between bursts, I found that lifting the bowl and hood off the unit and giving it a good shake was required as the mixture of dry and wet ingredients stuck to the sides of the bowl. Maybe grinding wet and dry ingredients seperately would be better. I did consider adding a bit of water to each batch, but didn't want to make my paste too wet.
The end result was quite a fine paste which when used in a curry was still a little bit "bitty" but on the whole a lot smoother than previous attempts.
If I was designing version 2 of this product, I'd make the bowl a good inch wider and higher to accomodate more ingredients in one go.
