K5 Electric Kitchen Grinder Battery Powered Automatic Portable Spice Mill For Grinding - Holds up to 5 Gram

My father has been on the hunt for a good electric grinder that not only makes consistent end product but can also handle the stickiest of sticky buds without getting gummed up and difficult to move. I’m very pleased to say this K5 grinder by Kactus Krusher checks off all those boxes and many many more!Function:The grinder uses a milling plate on top that grips the bud and forces it through a die plate that comes in various hole sizes for your preferred grind level. This method eliminates the need for interlocking teeth you see in a traditional grinder, which is the major fail point in those designs. The device flips open where the two plates meet with a latch and hinge, and this is where you load the product to be processed. The kit includes a brush to clean off the hole plate, and he used a small paper towel with a dot of rubbing alcohol to wipe down the upper mill plate and never had and build up.Electric Motor:Dealing with arthritis and mobility issues, gripping a grinder hard enough to power through today’s potent and dense buds has become quite the task for my father. This started the hunt for an electric grinders, but up until now they all fell short in the power market. If you didn’t pre-grind the buds, or put more then a 0.1 in the chamber, the motor would seize up and buzz. He tried one with the chain-ball blades but that just knocked the bud around the camber and left huge chunks when it was done. The K5 has an interesting milling setup that spins the motor and powers the upper milling plate, and you press down the plunger to engage the flower and force it through the lower die plates. THIS WAS HUGE!! Sure it did require some force, but the user just needs to push down with minimal weight and required no grip strength to get a consistent end product. We tried some 35% sticky almost tar consistency bud and it has no issues breaking it down on the medium size plate. The amount of force required to press down the plunger is negligible at best, and can often be done with one finger or your thumb if it’s very dense.Collection:After grinding the flower drops into the bottom collection bin that is magnetically attached to the upper portions. There is an LED that turns on when grinding is in motion you can see through the plastic, but it’s too dark to see anything inside and it’s really more of a gimmick. The added LED also means you have to pay attention when putting the collection tray back on since only two corners have magnets and the third is cut out for the LED. Finally following in suit to other grinders, there is a bottom compartment for the crystals to fall into which is cool to have - but in my experience I just scoop it up and top a bowl every not and then and wouldn’t be mad if it wasn’t there… I would just put the crystals in with each run rather then bank them over several to have a larger amount.Value:This grinder runs around $100 in most cases, and can be had on sale often. When you compare it to a $15 novelty store grinder it seems like a waste - but when you compare it to nicer electric grinders it’s actually on the lower side. Sure there are some electrics at half its price, but after wasting money on 4x different inferior electric grinders we found this is the only one he actually uses. I’ve seen other manual grinders with the similar milling method used, just without the electric motor, that run around $100+ right next to other high end/botique traditional teeth style manual grinders… so in comparison it’s not too bad at all.Over view:In the end having the advanced milling style grinder that was easy to clean, easy to use, and didn’t require grip strength all paired together to make this K5 grinder one of the nicest, most innovative, and easy to use design that made it well worth its cost - even without the discounts! If you are having issues with difficulty using grinders due to hand strength, or sick of dealing with gummed up parts and don’t move right, this grinder is right up your alley! Just note - it’s on the larger side and really intended for home use and not something you will toss in your pocket and go but if you know that then this grinder is an A+++ buy!

Why should you buy an expensive grinder, does it matter? Honestly didn’t think it did. Listen basic science the smaller you can cut something the more surface area it creates. The more surface area the better everything. Think garlic. Tiny garlic is potent, smells amazing, taste smoothe, and overall provides a much more refined and delicious dish. It’s the grown up version. The product also comes in well thought out packaging, and opening honestly reminded me of opening apple products. So kudos to that team when yall read this. The product also feels amazing. It’s weighty. And the fidget spinner is the best thing, I thinks it’s on a bearing it spins forever. Yall did really good. Essepically milling instead of crushing that was smart.

Quality Grinder. Been looking for a well made automatic grinder for tue last 3 years. Tried 3 other brands in the $29-50 range and the all came up short unfortunately. This unit is so much heavier than the other electric grinders and it shows in the grinds. No buckling just press and in 20 seconds your brew, uh I mean bud is ready. The esthetic of the Kactus Kutter is better thought out IMO.

This thing grinds up your buds effortlessly in less than 10 seconds and deposits them in its tray. If you have arthritis, this is your best friend. I got it in August of 24 and the battery has amazing capacity. I use it multiple times a day usually and it's battery indicator is still on 2 of 4. I think it will make a year without recharge. One of the best gizmos I ever bought.

Perhaps one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. My hands can no longer work like they used to and therefore I have not been able to use my medicine all the way I am supposed to and this has helped me like you cannot believe. The medium size holes in the way that this rig is set up does not split or crush the seeds, but it allows for the seeds to basically right through without any damage for the most part. I cannot praise it enough.

The K5 Grinder is excellent—probably the best grinder I’ve ever used. It grinds smoothly and consistently, and the build quality feels solid and reliable.The only issue I’ve noticed is that the kief catcher screen assembly can get stuck. It’s a small inconvenience, but it doesn’t take away from how well the grinder performs overall. I would love to see a removable two-piece assembly.Even with this minor flaw, I’d still give it five stars. It’s a great product that I’d recommend to anyone.

Very easy to use. Perfect for the old guy!😁

The grinder is fast, efficient, and does a terrific job of grinding. A real life-saver, if you have carpal tunnel syndrome, like me. It has a rechargeable battery, but after 3 months use, I still haven't needed to recharge it yet, since it seems to run forever on a charge. Tt's a 5 star item, but I took one star off for getting what seems to be a returned unit.I love the grinder, but have a couple of minor quibbles. The outside is smooth, powder-coated metal, and is a little hard to grip, especially for older hands. It would benefit from some gripping surfaces strategically placed around the body. Also, the unit I received from Amazon looked like it had been opened and repacked, like it was a returned unit. The Kactus Kutter site sells them for the same price, but I opted for buying from Amazon because of the faster delivery. After getting a repacked unit, I question that wisdom.
