Pros : This is a great grinder. I've had mine for 6 years now and never had any trouble with it. Sometimes I look at newer ones and think that would be fun to try, but I can't justify replacing what's not broke! It gets the job done and has been easy to maintain.
Pros : This baby is quiet, clean & versatile! I love the fact that I can switch 3/4" to 1/4" & 1/"8 bits with ease. It provides all that is expected from a grinder & more. Clean-up is easy.
Cons : The accessory drawer sticks a bit, but a little silicone lube does wonders!
Other Thoughts : This unit replaced a 30+y/o Glastar which I inherited years ago. It finally developed a leak, after years of moderate use. So I went with the same brand.
