I purchased this little grinder to try it out for freshly grinding flax seeds. I wanted to try Budwig and read that ground flax seeds start to become rancid 20 minutes after grinding. I wasn't sure if the taste of the oil and ground seeds would be something I would be willing to do for the long haul, so I opted for this inexpensive grinder.
This little grinder is intuitive and easy to operate. Take off the clear top, add the seeds, pop the top on, careful to align the button on the lid with the base, press the lid/button and it takes off! Within a very few seconds I have finely ground flax.
I was pleased that the noise level wasn't bad at all and was actually much less than I expected. However, coffee beans may be louder to grind. The actual sound of the machine is a light whirring sound.
Capacity is very adequate for my needs. I only grind 1 to 2 tablespoons of flax seeds at a time. The grinding does make them fluffy and take up more space, but I still have plenty of room. The idea is to only grind only as much as is immediately needed anyway, so that it is as fresh as possible.
I'm a newbie with a grinder so I'm not sure how much cleaning should be done. The only action I've taken toward semi cleaning it is to wipe it out a little with a paper towel. I don't see where the base comes apart for cleaning the blade and little bowl inside, but I think these are meant to be dedicated pretty much to grinding one thing anyway, and wiping out the residue with a paper towel was effective.
This definitely met my needs and I would recommend this to others.

Deceptive Description
I bought this to grind herbs and spices as is indicated in the item description. However, it clearly states in the manual that this product is NOT intended to grind herbs, spices or other food stuff. A bit deceptive but I am sure it will do the trick and for the price it seems of decent quality. Time will tell
