Question: How much does the grinder weigh? Thinking of using it for backpacking and travel. Thanks!

It would be perfect for that. It measures 4.25" & weighs less than 7oz. It will grind enough coffee beans to make 6 cups, with one grinding. The handle slips off the top of the grinder cylinder & would be ideal to pack.

I'm not sure how sturdy your herbs are, but I use mine to grind coffee and that's a pretty tough substance. Be careful, however, not to densely pack the grinder and pulse it to grind. Don't overload it and then jam down on the buttons. That's a sure recipe for failure.

I would not chance it. I once took a simple white noise machine from US to Amsterdam - plugged it in and within 10 minutes it burned out. I think it was because of the current - too much for the motor so it fried. Wouldn't you have same issue with grinder - since it has a motor in it? I would think Makita makes a model for your power constraints. Regarding the grinder itself - I am very, very pleased with it. Excellent purchase - there were many cheaper that I could have bought but I went for quality and am glad I did.

Is this a joke? If he has to ask this, he shouldn't buy the grinder. is this a joke? If that is his question tell him to buy a hammer. It is cheaper and easier.

It seems almost weightless... not heavy at all. Maybe a couple of ounces. Sorry I don't have an exact answer but if you're looking to backpack with it or something where weight is an issue, this one is very light.

I have not used my grinder for this kind of work. I do grind a lot of venison and have not had to clean it until I get my batch done, about 25 lbs. There are things that get wound around the blade, but that is going to happen with any grinder I do believe.

I would estimate it weighs about the same as a standard empty coffee cup. I like the product, using it it keep my chain saw nice and sharp. One of the best tools I own for occasional use around the house and yard.

It's not that heavy - probably the lightest weight juicer I have ever seen. It's pretty compact too. It has less parts than many other juicers but still you'll want to have someplace to wash the parts after usage. A plastic grocery sack over the refuse container will make the cleanup easier. I'd say a pretty smart purchase for travel.

In my opinion it's for light weight grinding. That's what I use it for and I have no complaints; it does what I need it to do.

I have my grinder bolted on already but would guess was just under 20 pounds. Was concerned about it being heavy enough to be stable but no problem.

Hi, Johnnyman83,My Cuisinart MM-2M Mini-Mate offering is in the box, never unpacked or used. However, the box itself is 7" tall, 3.5" wide one way, and 4.25" wide the other. If you look at the height, the motor is on the top, the grinder portion on the bottom - looks like it comprises more than half the height. My "guess-timate" on the grinder size is about 3" tall and 3" across. Does that give you an indication of how it would work on herbs? I've done coffee beans and nuts, but not "softer" things like spices. I see other posters say it does well, but use "bursts" of short duration or the motor will burn out. I hope this helps.

I would say having used other grinders that it's not exceptionally easy but average. There is some twisting involved. Hope that helps. It works well.

yea buy a six inch angle grinder 30$-200 and buy some cut off wheals (they are the thin ones 1/8 maybe or less look them up they are great but gone need a pack of them if you got a lot of cutting , or Sawzall 100$with proper blades for soft metal , a portable band saw 400$ +/-50 Milwaukee makes a great one in my opinion plus is you can cut any thing with it and blades last a long time if you good to them

Not sure but it won't take much. This grinder kicks as s. Best one on the market in my opinion.

This brand of grinder is also being sold on Ebay, but they are also selling the regular size, not just the compact. I can't find any warranty or contact info on Ebay for MTN grinders either.

I use it backpacking for its functions and light weight. The hammer poll is great for driving tent stakes and similar chores, and while it doesn't possess a wide cutting surface, with the proper reprofiling of the blade (convex) it chops fine for its size. Make sure to take out the set screw and toss it in the garbage, then sand the shoulder out of the head of the haft. If you're looking for a heavier-duty chopper, try the riflemans hawk. I have it as well, and though it chops better, it's much heavier and bulky.

fine to coarse, mine stopped working after a month, could not return, no repair center, after I bought the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill, still works great after 6 months, spend the extra money and save your self from this grinder, its a dud...happy fathers day
