Would this be a good grinder for someone with arthritis?

This is a great grinder but it does take a little bit of dexterity and finesse to turn. I would recommend an electric (automatic) grinder for someone with arthritis.

I think it would probably grind "ROCKS". However, please don't try that one!! This is certainly sturdy enough to grind peppercorns. I can just smell the fragrance of sweet peppercorns in the air...I need to go cook now. Have a great day!

I don't know. I never tried. But almost certainly a grinder made for home use will die young if you do that repeatedly. One of the main differences in the ones made for retail use is that they are built for constant use. If you asking about two sessions in total, one after the other, I would think 30 sec is rest enough.

I have not tried it, but I would think the way it is built that you should be able to accomplish that. This grinder has several grind settings and does a great job. I am very pleased with it since I purchased it.

It should do fine grinding grains/seeds that aren't wet or oily. I use mine to grind millet and it works fine.

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.

The grinder itself is a composite material, not metal. It's adjustable and when it was new it did grind peppercorns and rock salt into a powder. I found with age that the adjustment didn't hold and I'd have to reset it.

No doubt in my mind that it would grind nuts and seeds. The only difficulty that would arise is cleaning if you go from seeds back to coffee.

Not really, like most blade grinders it depends on how long you run it. If consistency is important, I would recommend a burr grinder.

I have had the grinder for more than a yr or so and I would not recommend its for the tendency to rust

Honestly it's quite easy on the hands for me but that's with mild arthritis. The plastic is made of a hard concentrate so winding it is relatively very easy and effortless. I would think even someone with arthritic hands would find it bearable... now rheumatoid might be a different story but then again even an automatic grinder is hard to even push a button for someone with rheumatoid.

I don't think it would be good for that. its light weight plastic. I would just use a bench grinder for that.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

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

This is not a professional meat grinder. If you wan't to use it very frequently i suggest a professional meatgrinder with metal gears. If you a are a user like me (once in a while ) this one works very well. (little loud for my opinion)

At first, it grinds really well. But it's a smarter decision to just invest in a more expensive grinder because mine stopped working after about 7 or so uses. Not worth it.

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...
