Bought this grinder just after Thanksgiving in 2015. This unit has been used less than two dozen times to grind spices and coffee only. Today I went to grind coffee and the grinder does not work. The motor runs but the blade does not turn. Upon further inspection as to why the grinder is not working, I found that the cheap rubber material teeth that contact the METAL bar that fits between them to turn the blade to grind have worn off and will not maintain contact with the bar. If I could've rated this unit with zero stars I would have mImam quite disappointed that the unit, at this price point, only lasted a year and is just outside the manufacturers' warranty. Sadly Kitchenaid used to sell quality large and small appliances it appears from this experience that is no longer the case.

Great appliance, but...

Best grinder I've ever used. As a guy who really needs to measure any items relating to food, the cup tick marks on the bowl are much appreciated and have delivered accurate measurements to assure good coffee reliably. But... the plastic at the base of the steel bowl has broken twice now, for 2 different users (wife and I) with no rough handling. The first time I was able to superglue the piece back on and that worked fine. Today the plastic broke at an entirely different spot and into many pieces. I'll replace the part and keep using the grinder, but it's a disappointing weak spot apparently. Hence only 4 stars.

Great buy for the money!

Just used my new blade grinder this morning for the first time, and I'm happy that I purchased it! While this isn't a $400 burr grinder at all, I'm impressed for the price point! If you carefully watch what you're doing with it, you can actually get a good grind with it. Seems to have plenty of power with a full grinding cup, but I've found that I get better consistency with about half of a load. I just had to experiment a little with it.

Easy of use

Never used a Coffee Grinder before; the Blade was so easy to use and does a great job. I really like the ability to count off the seconds as it grinds and immediately pour the grounds into the coffee maker.

works great

Prefer grinding my coffee beans instead of using already ground coffee. My last grinder finally died after 10 years. This replacement is great; works smoothly, and quietly. The removable stainless steel insert is easy to clean. Very nice looking as well.
