==================================================================
It's a pretty big claim to call your product "The World's Best." But we know that after you have used the Wonder Junior Hand Grain Mill that you will agree. For years hand grain mills have either been really cheap or really expensive. And unfortunately their ability to perform has been directly related to their cost. The cheap ones perform poorly and the expensive ones perform great. When we designed the Wonder Junior we set out to create the perfect storm in hand grain mills. And we wanted the ...
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Burr grinder works with wet/oily grains; legumes, coffee, garbanzos, seeds, nuts, etc.
- Powder-coated for easy cleanup
- Large octagon hopper fills easily and holds more than 1 quart
- World's only patented dual clamp secures to surfaces up to 2" thick, will not slip like other mills.
This Emergency Survival Kits give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Very slow on everything but wheat-sized grain, coarsely ground.
Here's what I wanted in a mill:
1. The ability to grind very fine flour.
2. A mill that could be cleaned well enough to grind gluten-free flours after grinding wheat.
3. A hand-powered mill to have on hand for emergency preparedness.
Since I couldn't afford 3 separate mills, I settled on the Wonder Junior Deluxe.
Here's how it met my requirements:
1. This mill can grind a very fine flour, but only if you grind it coarsly, then again on a finer setting. The problem with this is the second grind takes a VERY long time. Doing a single grind, I was able to grind 4 cups of hard red winter wheat into bread flour in 20 minutes. I was grinding like I was trying to set a world record though, just to see how fast I could physically grind wheat. I do not grind this fast on a regular basis. For comparison, I'm a relatively small female, and not in the greatest shape, but even my husband had trouble keeping up that pace. My four-year old can't even...
2. Best mill available for the money
If money is no object the country living mill is better and twice as expensive. The other well known mill in this price range is Lehman's "Our Best Grain Mill." I've owned a Lehman's best for 16 years. It's inferior in every way. The hopper is a plastic funnel stuck in a hole and will fall off if you look at it wrong. The Wondermill Junior hopper that holds the grain is an integral part of the body. The Lehman's Best Grain Mill metal burrs are cast iron and subject to rusting. The WM Jr metal burrs are stainless steel, the Deluxe also includes stone burrs. The Lehman's clamp is an inferior one screw design. The WM Jr is secure with a soldid two screw clamp design.
If the deluxe is out of your budget there is also the less expensive basic and the only difference is you do not get the stainless steel burrs (just the stone burrs) and you do not get the clamp, you can screw it to a table. Both items can be added later. The stone burrs are best for grinding flour...

Great Customer Service
I bought one of these from an Amazon seller in November 2009, after I got to play with one in a store. It has a very smooth grinding motion and feels sturdy.
Well, lazy me, I didn't try to use mine until today, February 10, 2010. I found I was missing pins on the housing and figured that I would be SOL since it had been so long. My husband called Wondermill's number and got an answering machine. I'm now thinking, great - they'll probably never call back. Can you tell I've previously had bad experiences with customer-no-service at various companies?
About 15 minutes later, the phone rings - hey, Wondermill called! After a few minutes of explanation, my husband was told the pins should have been pre-installed in the housing and they would be shipped to us. My husband also mentioned to the guy that the backing plate on one of the grinding stones was slightly out of position and asked if it would affect its operation. He was told that it probably wouldn't,...
