I love this grinder. I would love to say this is the best grinder ever but I've only had one other one and it was a blade grinder. There is no comparison. A blade grinde gives you dust. This burr grinder gives beautiful consistent size of grind. It's super quiet and so easy to use. I just have it set for specific amount to grind and it grinds the same amount every time with just the press of a button. I was a little disappointed that the color doesn't perfectly match the color of my KitchenAid mixer even though they are both empire red,  but the performance far outweighs my disappointment.
