Do you know if this can handle nuts - like almonds, cashews, etc?

Not almonds, cashews are fine. The motor burned out after several weeks of moderate to light use.

Yes, the motor is powerful and the bowl roomy. The one I got did not look like the photo. It's all plastic.

Not if you want to make nut butters. It has no internal cooling fan. If you just want to chop a few up, then yes. But if you try to use it to make nut butters, it WILL burn out. There's no escaping the laws of physics.

No, I don't think so... The motor gets hot after 20s work...then you have to stop for another half an hour to wait for the motor cooled down...

I have not tried nuts in it yet. Probably would need to soak the nuts first.

No, I don't recommend that. It will dry out the fruit. The nuts will be OK, though.

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

Don't know about acorns. Mine picks up some small, hard nuts (like pistachio sized) without problem.

It does normal food prep well. I have chopped garlic, onions, shallots, and lots of fruits . I have not tried nuts but I think it does as well as any other processor I have used. I think the key to chopping is timing.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

I'm sure it will...haven't done almonds yet everything else worked just fine.

Yes. It will work much better than putting whole almonds through a blender or food processor. Just make sure you get the BLANCHED almond meal flour.

Yes. I put almonds in it to make almond milk. I just have to add them in with water. If you want to make nut butter you'd have to use the mincer attachment.

I really wouldn't know, I only use it for my weed lol. It grinds marijuana super fine but I'm not sure how well it would work on nuts.

I've not used it on macadamia nuts but if it will handle black walnuts with ease (which it does) it will do macadamia's as well. Just remember when cracking macadamia's, much like black walnuts, the fracture line runs from top to bottom of the nut. Look for the "pointy" ends (and/or the "white dot" on macadamia's). Using this method keeps you from crushing the nut meats in to little pieces. Hope this helps

We like a fine grind on our coffee and it does a great job of that. We haven't tried any kind of nuts in it but I suppose it would probably work.

It did not comment on nuts but I would guess it would work ok, as long as no shell happens to get into it. I must have gotten a bad one from the factory because it did not make it through 1 pound of extremely lean deer meat. It is easy to clean

We have never used it for nuts but i don't see why it wouldn't. We have mainly used it for vegetables and meat such as chicken for making chicken salad. This product is very well made. I bought this one to replace one that was finally showing wear after about 20 years of use and we are keeping the old one just in case we need to double up chopping for a big meal.

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.
