Electric Grain Mill Comparison As a teaching ministry, we have made a great attempt not to offer "every product on the market."  We are not a public retailer, but rather offer resources to the Body of Christ, in order that the things which we teach may be more easily implemented.   I find it disheartening to visit a website offering several competing grain mills and then read their individual write-ups which tell me each is faster, stronger, and all-around better than the other.   Hogwash!   Sometimes one machine outperforms another at one chore, while itself being outperformed on another chore.   In an attempt to save people money, such that there might be more given to God’s work, we often lean toward a less expensive option, but not at a great sacrifice to quality or performance. We have attempted to fairly evaluate the three major electric grain mills on the market, for your benefit as well as ours.   We were specifically looking for a mill that would produce fine flour, fairly quickly, without excessive noise.   A non-aluminum (see our FAQ), non-stone grinding mechanism is a must.   Click here to read why modern stone-ground flour is usually hazardous to your health. The Vita Mix® has been highly marketed as a grain mill/kitchen wonder, when in fact it is only a very high quality blender.   It is terribly loud, overheats the flour (see our FAQ), does not produce as fine a flour and is low capacity.   Other than the price, the Vita Mix is a wonderful blender, but it should not be relied upon as a grain mill, nor as a juicer for which it is also marketed.   If you are looking for the best electric grain mill, the following are our findings: Wonder Mill™ Nutrimill™ Ultramill MSRP: $279.95 MSRP: $299.95 MSRP: $219.95 12 Cup Capacity* 20 Cup Capacity* 20 Cup Capacity* Super Quiet Not As Quiet with slight high pitch squeal Not As Quiet with high pitch squeal Texture Knob adjusts from fine to coarse** Texture Knob adjusts from fine to coarse** No Texture Knob** Grinds Super-Fine Grinds Fine Grinds Fine Super-Fast*** Slower*** Fast*** Quick & Easy Flour Access Easy Flour Access Easy but Awkward Access Height – 12" Diameter – 8½" plus 8½" canister Height – 14½" Diameter – 11" 11" Wide 9" Deep 14" High Lifetime Warranty Limited Lifetime Warranty Limited Lifetime Warranty *Please Note: We do not recommend filling any of these machines to over 75% of their capacity as it tends to make a large mess and could possible damage (clog) the grinder. **The texture adjustment knob on The Wonder Mill™ does not really have any effect on flour texture.  We recommend leaving The Wonder Mill™ knob on the far right, to prevent clogging when grinding large grains or beans. The texture adjustment knob on the Nutrimill™ does produce a slight variation in flour texture, although it greatly affects the grinding speed.  The coarsest ouput on the Nutrimill™ is similar to a very fine meal. Please Note: None of these machines will produce a grind suitable for a cracked grain cereal as some claim. ***Each test represented below was conducted with 1 Cup of Hard White Wheat.  All of the flour from each test passed through the fine screen except what is shown below. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4 Nutrimill™ Nutrimill™ Nutrimill™ Wonder Mill™ Coarse/High Setting Coarse/Medium Setting Fine/High Setting Coarse Setting 14 Seconds 25 Seconds 1 Min. 38 Sec. 15 Seconds In a similar test, the Ultramill ground 1 cup of Hard White Wheat in 18 seconds. It ground with results very similar to Sample 3, yet much faster. Click here to visit The Wonder Mill™ information page/order form.
