So much better than I expected that I am writing a review.  I have owned several mill grinders and they were awful.  I have owned two previous burr grinders.  One was awful and it went away quickly.  The other one was serviceable and lasted a long time.  So...why am I so impressed.  Well, this thing has a large grinding gear.  It is relatively quiet.  There is literally no mess at the finish of my grinding.  It grinds quickly and a large volume as needed (note: not for commercial purposes).  There are an array of adjustments for fineness of grind.  It simply has a nice design and performs quite well.  Definitely a good value.
