The mill is well made and nicely finished. It has a lever to lock the top in place while you crank. I was slighhtly disappointed that it had plastic cutters. It would be an improvemtn to have metal or ceramic but alos probably increase the cost.

I bought this because I had read that the metal mills leave a metallic aftertaste in the herbs. So far, I have used it for fresh basil, parsley, and cilantro. It does a good job and minces the herbs into very small pieces. Sometimes, the herbs stick and build up on the plastic cutters but not excessively. It is easy to clean.

This mill is nice, easy to mount-dismount and to clean.
Downside: you won't be able to mill the stems, you have to use just the leaves, and hence to separate them first. A little bit time consuming.

I was disappointed with this product as it crushed the fresh herbs more than chopped them! Not for smaller quantities such as a "Pinch". When the hopper is very full, the results are better.

I was disappointed in the herb mill. The herbs stuck in the plastic blades and the locking clip broke the first time I used it. I found that I wasted more herbs than if I chopped them with a knife. Clean up of the mill was easy however.

The other reviewers don't seem to have had these problems, but the first mill I received had mis-molded teeth that wouldn't mesh so it couldn't grind at all. I returned it for a replacement and the second grinder had good teeth but the lock popped off before it was ever used. Rather than return it, I glued the lock back on. The grinder looks great and seems great, but I would take a look at one of the competitors because of the quality issues.
