I bought this as a spice grinder after my last one bit the dust while attempting to grind chilpotle peppers....  

Good points - the bowl is removable and therefore easy to wash.  It has a cover, which is nice for storing the ground spices until use.  The overall profile of the grinder is a convenient size.

Could use improvement - the bowl cover does not fit under the device cover - i.e. if you try to store the bowl cover on the bowl while having the safety cover on, it is just a bit too big.  Not a big complaint, but it would be nice to store the whole thing as one contained unit.  In the same vein, the cord storage is hard to accomplish.

In terms of grinding the chilpotles - this still could not grind them, but it did survive the attempt, so I consider that a plus.
