Bensmom Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Do you have a NutriMill, WonderMill, or Country Living Mill that you love/hate. Help me decide what I want! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You definitely want the Nutrimill.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You definitely want the Nutrimill.:D :iagree: I just ordered one, too (get the free bagger option if you can find someone offering that still!). I've had both a Nutrimill and a Wondermill before. The Nutrimill is bigger, and it has the nice feature of being able to turn it on and off even if there's grain in the hopper (can't do that with the Wondermill). It takes up less counter space, too, while using it. I had to buy a second one because I blew up my first one. My fault (rock in the grain, I think). It does have a lifetime warranty if it breaks NOT due to such a user error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've had a Magic Mill III and a Whisper Mill. both were quite good, but I liked the Whisper Mill more. It wasn't exactly a "whisper" but still, much quieter. I don't know if they still make either of these models. I need to do some research because I'm planning to sell the WM (already sold the MM).

dirty ethel rackham Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Love my Nutrimill. My friends here have various mills and the Nutrimill was the best, hands-down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just FYI: The WonderMill used be called the WhisperMill. Same machine, although I think its production changed companies. So if you see "WhisperMill," think "WonderMill." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talltexan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've had my Nutrimill for a year now, and I have to agree that it's a great machine. I did my research before buying, and I'm still glad I went with it. (Now as for the Bosch mixer that many people get along with the Nutrimill, I do have some regrets about it. I like the job it does, but I wish someone had told me that the lids are BPA plastic (#7 PC) and the blender is, too! But I digress....)

Erica in OR Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 We have the Country Living Mill. It's worked great, but it does take up a lot of room (DH attached it to a board so as not to ruin the countertop). We had it non-motorized at first, which took forever to grind enough for bread. Now, with the motor, it is very, very loud. If you had an option for something quieter, I recommend going that direction.

crazyfordlr Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ignorant buttinsky here...are you using this machine to grind your own wheat for flour? Besides the obvious (freshness) what are the benefits? I'm asking b/c I'm in the process of going GF and have been wondering about making my own bread and/or grinding my own flour. Thanks!

amey311 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 All you mill using people, does anyone know where I can get replacement parts for my Ultramill? Somehow we've lost the collector cup. To the GF poster, I had a friend who was going GF for a while. For them it was less expensive to grind some things at home (even wiht the cost of the mill, which they bought second hand) than buying GF flours. You can grind corn, garbanzos, buckwheat... basically anything that's not oily in most grain mills. I've ground our popcorn when I was a little short on cornmeal for cornbread ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a Nutrimill I rarely use but wish I did. Grinding wheat is much quieter than rice or beans. Yikes! Those are ear-splittingly loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One idea is to see sellers on eBay who sell your mill as a business and see if they also can get parts. I am not familiar with that mill but perhaps Marilyn Moll (Urbanhomemaker) sells parts. She's sells lots of bread making supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebastianCat Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a Whisper Mill that I bought secondhand and got a fantastic deal. I'm very happy with it and have had no problems; however, if I were buying new, I'd buy a Nutrimill in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Another vote for NutriMill. Love mine. My SIL has a WonderMill that I've played with. I'd definitely buy the NutriMill all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS_ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a Nutrimill, too, and love it. I had the attachment for the KA before that, and it never ground the wheat fine enough for a light bread, plus you couldn't grind very much at one time. I have never regretted getting rid of it and getting the Nutrimill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma4Boys Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 So if I found a used Nutrimill on Craigslist for $125 should I snatch it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in LV Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Not just better taste, but much higher nutritional value in fresh-ground flour, too. From what I've read, even store-bought whole wheat flour loses a lot of nutrients because of the heat used during processing. I've been thinking about sprouting my wheat & drying it in my dehydrator before grinding it, to further enhance the nutritional benefits. I have a Wondermill hand-grinder. It's a solid, well-made piece of equipment, but it's a lot of work to grind the flour. Obviously most people prefer the electric versions.
