Wet and Dry Grinder for Masalas & Chutneys 2 cups for Wet and Dry use with 12 spoon capacity. 200 watts of power. 110volt model for USA & CANADA

I love this wet dry grinder! And I can finally eat freshly ground cooked cereal again! Let me explain. I am not of Indian heritage but had been looking for a smaller Indian "Mixie" (Wet & Dry") type grinder nonetheless for a very long time.I have very specific health needs where the grains and foods I make and eat have to be whole, organic, and super fresh or I can get very sick from them. When it comes to grains like oats and the like, purchasing pre-ground, pre-prepared cereals like oatmeal just are not an option for me because once a grain is ground up it becomes stale very quickly, especially when stored on store shelves for awhile. If I want to eat cooked cereals I have store the whole grains in the freezer and grind them myself right before using.I own a kitchen mixer with a grain-grinding attachment and I also own a super blender. However, these kitchen appliances can only grind large amounts of grain at a time. Small amounts of grain can also be ground up in an electric coffee grinder, but one cannot make evenly cracked grain in them. It is flour or nothing. One also cannot wet grind in a coffee or spice grinder as different blades are needed. I also own a mini food processor, but grinding any kind of grain in it (even with water) was a disaster as well.So off I went for long internet searches looking for a good but small Indian wet & dry grinder which would do these things for me in small quantities. Search after search either went nowhere or some of the wet & dry grinders I came across seemed to be poorly made with bad reviews.Then I came across this Balajiusa Wet & Dry grinder and decided to give it try.Well by golly, this is a nice little item! While it still has only one speed, if I want to grind just enough grain for one serving of freshly cooked cereal all I have to do it put 4 tablespoons of grain in the wet grinder container with equal parts water, and pulse grind the mixture for a bit until I get the coarseness of grind that I want. After that it is just a matter of putting the coarse paste into a pan, adding the additional water necessary, and cooking it into a hot steaming bowl of porridge.Now I want to try using it for all sorts allergy versions of chutneys, masalas,sauces and anything else I can think of!

This is a perfect grinder for herbs and spices and also for grinding my coffee beans! :-)

Has a good motor and blends well. I would have given higher stars if the liquid didn't leak through. I used it to blend some spices and when I added water, it quickly made everything messy.

Have been searching for a grinder which could grind things without much water. Came across this after trying few other brands. This is the best i found, works best for grinding ginger garlic paste, puries for curries as no water required. The only complaint is the size, should hv been a bit larger, however suits a small family so its good for me.

Stupid thing runs like a dog after 3 months and I don't even know if i can return it.. I am sure I can't .. CHEAP STUFF .. DON'T BUY !!

I bought this in late May 2018, and it broke this morning. I was hoping for something that lasted a little longer than 8 months...

Great product!

Excellent
