This item is actually the Proctor Silex E160B COFFEE GRINDER that can be purchased on Amazon for significantly less! I discovered this upon receipt of mine ( listed above with no model number as "Fresh Flax & Coffee Grinder"). I love the item.. but I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS !! Fair warning !!! Save yourself some $$$$.

This Proctor Silex coffee grinder works well as flax seed grinder. It is easy to use and clean.

This is my 2nd Fresh Flax & Coffee Grinder (my first lasted well over 9 years). My favorite feature is the retractable cord - which winds into the body of the base - making it easy to store (out of the way) in the cabinet. I only grind coffee with mine and it does a good job; I am pleased with the performance. In 10 years or so, I hope this little grinder is around so I can buy another one.

I gave this full stars for a number of reasons:
1. No burn! Magic Bullet usually "burned" my seeds. Seeds would be stuck to blades no matter how few I tried to put in to process. Not so with this guy. Even my t'eff seeds were powdered without the "burn".
2. Very easy clean-up. Wipes out great with a paper towel. Magic Bullet, seeds stuck to blades and danger of being cut by blades when having to really scrub it clean. Not so with this guy- easy wipe out with paper towel. Even powdered my white sugar for me to top my french toast and did not stick to the blades.
3. Retractable cord is a cooler feature than I thought it would be. Easy twist-it-in and easy pull-it-out.
4. Noise level. I mention this one because the Magic Bullet is so loud that I would put ear plugs in to run it. Maybe that sounds extreme but its an item I use daily and the noise gets to me. Not so with this guy- tolerable level without the plugs.

Great, great product and I can tell its going to be durable too. I half want to order another so that I'll have a back up when this one does give out. Everything gives out eventually. I just know I'll want an identical item.

Muah! and 5 stars!

I have been using the Proctor Silex flax grinder daily for a month now and it works great. It works much better than another type of grinder I had previously purchased.

I have flax seed every morning in my oatmeal. For years I used a hand grinder but it was starting to hurt my wrist so I decided to try this electric grinder. I have been using it for a month now and it works great. You only have to hit the pulse 2-3 times and then just pour it out. Couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this item.

Grinding flax seeds is a new activity for me, but I knew immediately that I didn't want to use our coffee grinder - not a good mix. I purchased this grinder, and I have been very happy with its performance. It is quick and easy to use, and cleans up in a jiffy. I just use a paper towel. I really like the cord retraction feature. It takes up very little space, and has earned its place on my very limited kitchen countertop.

Love this for grinding my flaxseed every morning fresh. The cord is awesome too. Feels a little hard to turn the cord to roll it up but I'm hoping that's because it's new. The inner chamber looks way easier to clean than my kitchenaid one.

I was not sure that a grinder would do the job grinding Flaxseed to powder. This is a powerful little grinder. You can not put much in but it grinds very fast. It works great. I am very pleased and impressed. Does a great job on nuts,too.
