Poor design from Kitchenaid DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT

I bought this grain mill two years ago, I used it very little to grind spices, rice salt (popcorn). I also have a meat grinder. The problem with the grain mill is, it doesn't sit properly in the mixer opening, I have the kitchenAid 7qt 1.3HP mixer. I didn't pay attention when I first go it that it didn't sit properly in the mixer i.e. fully insert in the mixer opening. One time it came out during grinding of spices (don't recall what king of spices it was) but no damage was done, I thought I didn't tighten the thumb screw enough so I did not pay attention. Last month it came out again but this time the pin on the side of the mill that goes into the mixer broke off, the base of the mill where the pin is inserted also broke off. After inspecting the grinder mill I realised that the grain mill was never seated properly in the mixer. The prove was the meat grinder. I measured the O.D. with a caliper and the grain mill O.D. is .9455in compare to .9340in on the meat grinder. That difference was preventing the grain mill to be fully inserted in the mixer. Also the thumb screw on the side of the mixer couldn't hold the grain mill in place because the hole in the grain mill never aligned with the hole on the mixer since it was so far out of the mixer. So I am out of warranty for a manufacturing defect that started on day one. Thank you KitchenAid for your poor design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Grain mill shreaded gears in Mixer

We bought the grain mill a nine months ago, and used it with our mixer. We had no issues with the mixer before, now the mixer has a gear inside that has been replaced twice. All we grind is rice for flour. We pause the machine during grinding to prevent overheating the mixer. I guess it may work fine with other grains, we have not tried. Look at reviews on other websites regarding this product. It may look nice and shiny out of the box, but it could kill your mixer over time.

Great! Solid construction, light weight, easy to clean. A Kitchen Aid stand mixer has plenty of power.
I highly recommend, you cannot beat the price for value.

Its fantastic to sit back and watch the mill grind wheat berries fresh for the baking. It was easy to attach the grinder. No mess no fuss.

This mill is a workhorse! It does the job, and you can regrind the product if you want your flour even finer. So far, I have had no problem with it heating up too much, either. Nice tool!

This is an excellent product for grinding my grains for gluten-free bread. I can even make some of my flours finer than I purchased. My husband loved it too and he even took over grinding my grains! Worth my purchase!!

It takes a little longer when on the finest grind setting when I did winter wheat but that is understandable. Gets a little warm from the friction but the flour turned out great. The manual said that it would be a little more coarse than conventional flour because they sift out the berries but I could even tell when I compared the two.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poorly machined, did not fit mixer well and wobbled.

The spline end was not machined properly, did not fit. The replacement was close to the same and wobbled.
Does not grind corn well at all. Do not know how so few working parts could clog, but it did at the "flour" end. Yes, the corn was dry. Perhaps the auger could be more pronounce to help with emptying? Very frustrating so out came the hand crank mill which worked better.
