Can't live without it
@_*Erika Mitchell
This is a decent affordable electric mill. It has a large capacity reservoir and a dial for variable grinds of flours. You can pour about 2-3 cups of wheat berries in the hopper at a time, and add more as the grains flow through the grinder. I usually make about 6 cups of flour at a time, and the process takes about 5 minutes. I've made oat flour by simply putting rolled oats through the hopper, and corn meal using corn kernels. Corn kernels don't flow as well through the hopper, though. They need to be trickled in a bit more slowly so that they stay below the level of the intake hole at the bottom of the hopper. Flour coming out of the mill feels warm to the touch, but I have no idea if the temperature is high enough to decrease nutrients. In any case, once you get used to having fresh flour whenever you want, you can never go back, because store-bought flour tastes very flat and stale.
Cleaning the mill is relatively easy. All that is required is to pull out the foam filter and shake the flour out it, take off a plastic cup from inside the reservoir and shake it out, and wipe the reservoir clean. The internal parts of the mill require no cleaning (they're billed as self-cleaning).
The only problems I've had with the mill in 3 years of at least weekly use with noise and the plastic latches. This is a very noisy appliance, and earplugs a must if you will be in the same room while it is operating. The weak spot in the mill the plastic latches that hold the top motor/hopper embly to the reservoir. Since there is no other handle or place to grip the heavy top, one naturally pulls on the side latches to lift the motor off the reservoir, and this makes the side latches crack. After the latches crack, there is no firm seal between the top and reservoir, so a haze of flour can puff out the sides while the mill is operating. That doesn't result in a significant loss of flour, but it can cover nearby surfaces with flour dust. Still, for the price and convenience, this is a great addition to any kitchen.

@_*Me and My House
I owned and used this mill daily for many years (12 years, I think) - that is 3 of them. The grinding worked great - I have no qualms with that. But it is not the most convenient, nor the sturdiest I've used. (It was back when I got my first one. Before the newer ones came out, I think this was the best.)
It is noisier than the newer mills, and produces more flour dust in the room (though it isn't bad - I've seen far noisier and "dustier" ones). The small hopper is a bit inconvenient, as is removing the mill head to get to the flour in the flour pan, as is the small hole the grain feeds through (you have to pretty much handfeed corn and larger beans to keep them flowing).
The biggest problem we had was the clips that hold the head to the pan would crack, and on one of our mills the underside of the head developed a pretty big crack. This mills were still usable, but you couldn't get as good of a seal (to keep down that flour dust).
The company was great to work with though about getting it fixed - and these problems occurred after a few years of use. So it's a good mill, but not the one I'd buy today. Me and My House now uses and recommends the NutriMill.

I love this product. Best item ordered in a long time. Believe me. I never realized the difference in taste of bread made with fresh milled flour over store bought flour. This is a must have. With this machine, I have my flour in minutes when I'm ready for it. Yes it's loud, but so my kids. I got this through get.com and received it with in a few days, actually sooner than expected. Thanks get for the great service.
