Notes

A countertop grain mill for turning whole grains into fresh flour. Repair is usually worth it when the motor still runs well and the issue is limited to wear parts like brushes, belts, or burr components.

Replace when the motor overheats, the mill can't maintain consistent grind, or repeated repairs are needed to keep it usable for regular baking.
