Title: Completely inadequate design
Product review: At first sight, the basic design of this grinder appears sound, and at 280W it's got plenty of power. It handles spice-grinding tasks with ease, although extremely noisily. (It shrieks like a banshee. Consider buying some earplugs.)Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect it to do so more than about half a dozen times, maybe a dozen if you never grind more than about a tablespoon of spices at a time, because that's how long it takes the Revel grinder to either melt its nylon drive gear or wear through the bottom of its grind bowl. The blade mounting is simply dry plastic parts clamped together and spinning at high speed with no lubrication whatsoever. Crude doesn't begin to describe it - this grinder could almost have been intentionally designed to self-destruct, and it does so, quickly.If you're shopping for a spice grinder and intend to use it, I recommend ... almost anything but this one.
