Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was not familiar with this brand, so bought it with some reservations. Reviews were good, though, so thought I'd take a chance. Glad I did. This is just what I hoped for. Relatively quiet, the cord easily snugs into the base, it is simple to use and I love that the inside is stainless so you don't have fragrance remaining from herbs. Yes, I bought this just for herbs/spices. The plastic top cap had a bit of the spice smell after washing, but I sprayed it with white vinegar and rinsed it out again, and it's fine. Also, the stainless grinding cup removes so you can easily tip out the ground spices and you can just put the whole stainless cup w/blade into the dishwater. The base of the unit is a square rather than round, so it feels very stable on the countertop when grinding the spices. I do recommend this.
