[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it to mill hard red wheat grains for bread. At the finest texture it will do 4-5 cups in a few minutes perfectly. Motor gets warm but not overworked. Easy to clean (don't get water near it). A wonderful labor saver for anyone who has used a hand mill.
I bought this to make my own flours for baking. I have tried using it mostly for oat flour so far, starting with old fashion rolled oats. The process is painfully slow! It takes forever to get 1 cup of oats ground and the kitchenaid motor gets quite warm in the process. The flour was no better than what I was getting in the blender in a fraction of the time. The grinder is also difficult to clean and takes much longer than cleaning a blender. I will probably never use again.
I grind wheat for 2 loaves of bread, and unfortunately, using this attachment broke my kitchen aid stand mixer. It melted the worm gear. We replaced the worm gear and it melted again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this because I can’t afford the spending hand mill and I needed to mill kamut berries. I am surprised that it milled a whole bag of Bob’s Red Mill kamut berries in less than 10 minutes and it wasn’t as loud as people said it was. It milled pretty effortlessly. I thought it was going to be hard on my machine but it didn’t seem to care. I have the 325/375 watt artisan 5 quart model. I still want a hand mill for emergency preparedness but this one is perfect for me. I make about a loaf a week. It is also sturdy and well made.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought one of these and initially the wife wasn't happy with the flour, but after sending that one back and trying another brand she decided she really liked the KitchenAid. Bought another one and she's very happy now.
