I finally retired my old Krups grinder and had to find something new.  I purchased a Cuisinart electric can opener, so I decided to try this grinder because it matched.  I have to say, I'm impressed!  It was a fantastic price, and is great quality -- something that I would expect from Cuisinart.  I am a chef, and have many of their products scattered around the house.  I like this grinder so much that I'm buying one for my office next week.  I also love the fact that I can wash the bowl in the dishwasher.  Great price, great grinder!  Buy one!
