It overheats within seconds and then shuts off

Tengo mas que un año usandolo y la verda está buenísimo. Yo muelo especias duras como pimienta negra y anis estrella. no falla. lo recomiendo 100 porciento.

I bought this grinder with some trepidation because the first several reviews were quite negative. I'm glad I bought it because it is proving to be a star. I use it for a range of things - hard legumes and spices, including Indian spices, seeds, softer spices, breadcrumbs, etc. I've occasionally used it with wet grinding of pastes (ginger, garlic, chutneys, etc) if it's not too runny. It has several unique features that are difficult to find in a grinder this size: - Its size is just right - small enough to grind small quantities of things like spices without having a huge leftover to store for weeks; large enough that you don't need too many rounds when grinding larger quantities - Blade design seems efficient. It seems to completely pulverize anything I put in it (including hard spices) in a small fraction of the time it takes for other grinders (like coffee grinders). It does this so fast that the motor has never been even close to overheating. And it seems to work well always - I haven't yet discovered anything it won't grind well - So far, its longevity is good (about 8 months) - it has lasted longer than all of the highly rated coffee grinders I tried to use for these purposes - Cleanup is trivial. The importance of this is hard to overstate. Other grinders such as coffee grinders claim easy cleanup but this is an order of magnitude better. You can simply take the bowl and lid off completely and put them in the dishwasher and they will come out fully clean. No more fiddling with brushes etc. to try to remove the bits and residues of spices that are left in the fixed bowls of other grinders. The only concerns so far: - The lid has a rubber ring that seems necessary for a good seal; if that is missing some of the spice/ground material might escape the bowl during grinding. The rubber ring is not small, but it's easy to lose in the dishwasher etc. if not careful - Wet grinding seems a bit risky. The bowl can allow liquid to escape through the bottom and this could possibly enter the motor casing and damage the motor (though this hasn't happened to me so far). So this may not be suitable for wet grinding and isn't quite like a miniature full-featured grinder, which is what is really needed. Pretty glad to have found this after trying to use coffee grinders as spice grinders for several years with limited success.

Worst product . Don’t buy

Excellent product! Had this now for several years! I beat the crap out of it...spices, nuts, dried fruit, coffee (maybe even a little cannabis! ;) Continues to work flawlessly! A++
