1. Yes the handle is removable.2. Yes it can, but you have to be grinding like a lunatic,3. No idea.4. Up to 60 grams.5.No idea.6.It takes a lot of elbow grease, and it is not for the elderly or those wanting instant gratification.7. Yes and adjustable too.8. I have used it only several times but it has been fine.9. Light. Yet it is made of thick good quality plastic. 10. I no longer have the box, and it has no markings on it, but not in the USA. There is no recycle plastic markings on it so that should tell you something.

The handle is removable, but not likely to come off accidentally during grinding. The grind is adjustable. The unit weighs about 250 grams. It takes a long time to grind enough for one cup. Capacity is 60 grams. It would probably take at least an hour to grind that much. I got it to use only in the event of a power outage.

I wouldn't bother sending it back. it's normal to have that. The thing runs like a tank, so I doubt there's any issues. It's a great grinder.

I have used it a few times and it didn't grind flax seeds as well as I hoped, they are pretty tough and they jump around from the static electricity. Size wise it is appropriate for that abount of flax seeds but it you want a fine grind it won't work that well but its ok for a coarse grind.

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper.Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

I love this deluxe model, from what I understand its far superior to the regular model. I mostly grind spelt and wheat. I have ground brown rice a few times with it and was pleased with the resulting flour. I did go back and order the motor for it too & am really pleased using it. I did grind rice with it by hand cranking and motorized both ways result in nice flour. Hope that helps

I have only used it for coffee. (being a coffee snob, I wouldn't ever put anything else in my coffee grinder :-)I do use one of the $10 coffee grinders with the stainless steel blades that spin around. I use it to grind up all sorts of things - spices, flax seeds, nuts. I've used the same one for years - seems to be very durable, and easy to clean.

When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat. I just did a test: I turned it upside down and it was stable and stayed in place (although not with as firm a grip as when it is placed on the 'correct' side). It moved less than a 1/4" when I tried to shake it loose and it did still grip the granite surface. I've used both sides for heat resistance in a pinch when putting a very hot pot on my new granite counter. BTW, this thing is a much better aerating dryer than I'd expected, especially for stemware. I'd highly recommend it! When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat.

@Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds). I I like a smooth consistency, and I get that with this blender. Also, it's not noisy, which is an important factor especially in an apartment. The construction is solid, cleaning is quite easy as well. I rinse out the jar with regular dish soap and neither the jar nor the blades have any lingering, garlicky or other ingredient smells. Although if you need to make smoothies and such for large gatherings, you'll need a larger capacity. I'd say this blender is perfect for a family of four. @Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds).

It's a very fast grinder. For example: I make eggs and tip the grinder over for about two seconds for 4 fried eggs. The downsides are: the holding compartment is pretty small so I have to refill it often and it's a pain to refill. If I bought another one I would look for a bigger holding compartment for sure. Good luck!

Yes, I believe it is. I was happy with the quality of the grind, but everything else was of poor quality. If you plan on using it once a week or less it may be adequate. If you plan on using more frequently you are probably better off spending a bit more on something else.

Best dam grinder. I named it Momo. It still works as it was brand new and it's easy to carry. 10/10!

You won't hurt the machine, but some seeds - like flax - and small beans, etc will contain so much oil that the machine would need very frequent cleaning. Burr grinders are all, by nature, more complex and difficult to disassemble and clean than blade "grinders" which I think would be a better choice. I use a small, much cheaper blade grinder for flax, turns seeds into 3-4 tablespoons of fine powder in seconds and requires NO disassembly to clean. It even powders peppercorns....

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

I've been using Himalayan salt in mine. The individual crystals are probably the size of what you might get if you were enthusiastic about breaking up your chunk of salt. I have found that, while it does grind the salt, it's a tough go for my hands. I have the grinder adjusted as loose as practicable and the grind is still very fine. Possibly it's because the crystal size is still a little large. Also, I don't turn the grinder in one direction for this salt because I've found that eventually the thing gets so tight I can't turn it the other way at all. So I turn it back and forth.

I've had mine for several months and it's working fine. I do clean it out on a weekly basis by rinsing out both hoppers and the removable blade and blowing out the body of the grinder. If it only worked 10 times, it might be defective. Send it back.
