DrPaul: The hopper was challenging to assemble but once assembled the mill works great.

Krowwith: It was fairly easy to assemble. I didn't use the handle, but the option could be useful if one doesn't have a drill. I do have a drill, however, so that's the route that I went. It chewed through 7 pounds of corn in a matter of seconds. I have nothing bad to say about this product.

Brad: Works great. The edges where very sharp before assembled. Would buy again.

D. Vee: This crusher works great. However assembly isn't so easy. You must have very nimble fingers and it may require someone to help you assemble it. I have used this a few times and note that it is much quicker than using my Green Mill on my KitchenAid mixer. There's no need to use the drill to crush your wheat it comes with a hand crank and it works just fine. Again, I would have given it a higher rating if it was easier to assemble or if it came assembled from the factory.

TG: Takes about 10 minutes to assemble. The quality is reasonable, and the grinding plates are excellent quality. There's a plastic form fitting piece that fits over the end that doesn't want to stay, but a little crazy glue did the trick.

Thaddeus: First off, this product probably deserves 4 stars, but I’m admittedly giving 3 stars in hopes that the manufacturer may privide me some guidance if my main complaint is user error. If my complaint is in fact a defect, then so be it.

So, I’m glad I have my own grain mill now. And this one does work fairly well. I keep the width at .375 and has a BIAB brewer, my mash efficiency is now consistently around 82%. (Up from 72-75%)

There are a couple issues that keep this from being 5 stars. Least important, the black rubber/plastic cover that fits around the hopper rim comes off VERY easily. Every time I move the mill, the rubber piece pops loose. Perhaps I could glue it, but that doesn’t feel like it should be necessary.

Biggest complaint: there are large gaps at the bottom of the grain hopper, on either side of the rollers. So while filling the grain hopper, an annoyingly large quantity of grain falls into my bucket unmilled. Does this affect my overall mash numbers? No. Is it inefficient and wasteful? Yes! I’d like to think this is user assembly error, but I don’t really see how I might eliminate this gap based on how everything fits...
