When I first opened it, it seemed a little flimsy and on more of the novelty side of products, but I was so wrong! It looks small but holds a lot and being able to see if you've ground everything through the top is brilliant. The teeth do a great job and I've not had any sticking of the ground material. The handle also collapses for easier storage! We are older and my husband has pain in his hands when gripping things with force. This solves the problem with most other grinders where you have to rotate the top manually by pushing down. Thank you!
