 I grinds grain! January 9, 2007

What else can be said. A nice addition to your KitchenAid accessories, but beware, any moisture in the grain and it clogs up, just like they warn you!
K/A Grain Mill Attachment January 9, 2007

I've used this several times with my Professional 5 Plus mixer with no problems. I have started from the coarsest setting and progressed to the finest. I have also started with the finest setting and worked the other direction to get the desired coarseness without any problem.
The Professional 5 has all metal gears which may be why I haven't had any problems like others have had. It could be I haven't used it enough yet.
This is very noisy, with a slightly high pitch, grinder. I gave 4 stars because the grinder will only grind low-moisture, non-oily grains.
 Don't bother with this, buy a real wheat grinder.... February 18, 2005

This attachment reveals a design flaw in the Kitchenaid Mixer design. Inside every Kitchenaid Mixer you have a transmission/gearbox that drive both the mixer and the accessory drive shaft. This gearbox has a PLASTIC cover that holds all the gears in place.
The grain mill attachment places the *most* stress on your kitchenaid, more than any other attachment you can buy. What happens is when you're grinding wheat, it heats up that gearbox and the plastic cover starts to flex, and if you run it more than 10 minutes it'll heat up enough to break the plastic.
I bought this attachement for my wife for Christmas 2004. It broke the transmission and stripped the gears on the mixer in January. We removed the cover and saw the cracked plastic. Kitchenaid promptly sent a replacement mixer even though ours was "out of warranty". This tells me that they KNOW about their design flaw.
We got our shiny new Kitchenaid Mixer the next week. My wife took it out of the box, attached the grain mill and started it grinding flour. Within 10 minutes the plastic cover failed on the new one. Kitchenaid sent out a new one, again. We're now on our third mixer and we're looking to get a refund from Kitchenaid for the Grain Mill so we can go out and buy a real wheat grinder.
It's really sad. All Kitchenaid needs to do is put a metal gearbox cover on the transmission and you could grind wheat into flour non-stop. I can't believe that they're willing to stake their good name on a plastic part!
Worth the price ? November 18, 2002

Generally I've been satisfied with all Kitchen Aid attachments, but this one is a little different. For the price I could buy myself a stand alone grain mill with more features and save the load on my beloved workhorse.
Great Mill---even better bread! January 18, 2002

I have had the pleasure of milling all the wheat we use for bread with this mill for almost 5 years. It does a terrific job. I have never double milled and do not find that step necessary. The resulting flour makes the greatest bread.
