I live in the southeast near Bread Beckers store. Sue Becker has used a WonderMill since the early 1990’s and had had no problems at all with any bugs getting in her WonderMill. I have had one for over a year and I have had zero problems s with any bugs getting into my WonderMill or that tube. I have a 1” wide pastry brush that I brush out the extra flour from the hole on the mill and from the tube after I am finished using it. I also tilt the canister and tap it against the counter which also helps whatever flour that is left in the tube after milling fall into the canister. Fruit flies have come into my kitchen from bananas and have never been attracted to my mill or the tube on the canister. The motor is anLG motor and is very powerful. You can grind grain in it all day long and you will not over work the motor. I would not let the ope hole and tube deter you from buying a Wonder Mill. The thing that attracts bugs to mills is mills with the stones for grinding. The stones are porous and the oils from the grains absorbs into the stones. The oil on the stones is what attracts bugs to go into the mills. The Wonder Mill does not have stones but stainless still pieces that grind the grains. The oils from the grain do not stick on the stainless steel. This factor is a huge reason why Sue Becker picked a Wonder Mill years ago instead of a stone ground mill. Her mother in law had a stone ground mill and Sues husband Brad was constantly having to clean the bugs out if his mother’s mill. The Bread Beckers have been selling the WonderMill for around 30 years now and less than 1% of the WonderMills have ever needed to be sent in for a repair.

Ma'am I was watching a cyberpunk video and this showed up in my feed as the next choice. In other words, I could not be further from your target audience. However, I knew nothing about countertop mills (is that a term?) and figured i owed it to my own edification to watch. A few thoughts... First, when you noted you mentioned to your husband you should get an extra mill in case the one you had broke down, and his response was something akin to, "i didn't think about that, great idea"--he's a gem. Having watched the entirety of your video, you're a gem too. Secondly, the only information i was curious about which you didnt provide was a brief "how to care for the filter" comment. I imagine you just run it under water and then let it dry, but again...i was watching a video game review for cyberpunk 2077 before this so my conjecture on such matters is folly at best. Lastly, and this is a point of critique that hardly matters...but...removing the crock pot or whatever it is from the background would give the video a cleaner look. It's like having a magic show with someone random guy off to the side staring at you the whole time. In any case, I have have liked and subscribed because you are a pleasure to watch and we are nothing if not plour accumulated knowledge...and I daresay I learned more watching your video than the one I was watching before.

Thank you so much for this video!

Very helpful video. You answered all of my questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mary! This comparison was really reassuring to me, as I HAVE purchased the Nutrimill Classic, and had gone back and forth between it and the Wondermill, eventually landing on the Nutrimill. Now I'm glad I did, because I have a lot of fruit flies and wouldn't feel comfortable with the tube on the wondermill either. Thank you.

10/10/2023: Amazon US has the Nutrimill Classic on sale from Nutrimill for 199.00 USD. Woot!

Excellent video! Thanks!

Thank you Mary. I’ve been considering the Wondermill. Your review helps me so much❤

Thank you for sharing such a great video.

I have been doing research on all the grain mills out there and looking at all the reviews, and finally decided after watching your video to go with the Wondermill. 😊 Going to place my order today. Thank you for this informative video. It was a big help in making my final decision for this purchase!

I have the Nutrimill and HAD a wonder mill which I liked but gave a way. I thought I wouldn’t use it again because I was going through a very bad time and just couldn’t see my way through. BUT I did survive and decided I missed making bread so a friend had the nutrimill and recommended it. I love it. The other con to it for me though is - I have a heck of a time getting the cover on and off. I think it’s a good thing that it is so tight - but I literally have to coat the rubber casing around the the edge of the top with Rye flour to get it to move into place. One day I felt like I was wrestling with it and my husband had a good laugh.😁. I’m used to it now though and it’s not so much of a big deal. I store mine in my closet/pantry on top of my grain bin and that works awesome too. Thank you for a very informative video. I’m addicted to making bread and since I have been grinding my own grain - my husband’s IBS is 100% gone and the arthritis pain I had in my left hip which was debilitating - is also gone. Go figure! The health benefits of this flour are worth every penny and little inconveniences that it may pose. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for this comparison video. This answers some questions I had about both of these mills. I have learned so much from following you on KZfaq. Have a Blessed day. 🌿🕊🌿

I ordered mine yesterday and now i am counting down the days until ot arrives. Thank you for this information video that helped me decide on which one.

Thank you for this comparison. Very helpful! (I confess, I chuckled 🤭 when I saw that “flipping” action when you turned it on. Oh my goodness. 😮That kind of startled me 😱 😂).

Very nice comparison. I liked that you demonstrated the movement of the wondermill when you turned it on. I would have been quite surprised if I turned it on and was not warned ahead of time. I have a second home and I think I may try the wondermill as well.I have the Nutrimill and love it but don’t have as much counter space in my other home. Thank you

We're weighing our options and your comparison has been really helpful. I just discovered your channel today, and wanted to let you know what an absolute joy you are to watch! You have such a lovely gentle way about you that is very soothing to listen to and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos :).

Great video

I started wanting to learn about sourdough but have been so inspired by you and grinding your own flour that I’ve ordered the NutriMill along with 3 (hard red, hard white and soft white) I wished I would have learned about this years ago😊 Thank you

Thank you for this! I want a new grain mill for Christmas and this has definitely been informative for me to narrow down the choices. I currently have a Blendtec Kitchen Mill and, although it works, the flour doesn't seem to grind fine enough and the flour is always hot after grinding. To top it all off it's a horrible mess to clean! So thank you for this video! It has helped me a great deal.

Thanks for the comparison. Didn't think about stacking the container on top of the mill. Looks nice in a smaller area. Stacking today going forward. Had my mill approximately 2 weeks. Beth, I purchased the wondermill for the same reason regarding the bugs. So happy I saw Sue's video regarding the stone brands. Was going to buy one. Haven't made bread yet but did mill for tortilla chips. Yum TTFN

I did some research a couple of years ago and decided to buy the Wonder Mill. I just today unboxed it! I am excited about starting to make my own breads. I have been a life-long food preserver and have been teaching it for a few years both here on KZfaq as well as Rumble and Facebook. So I am really excited to add this to my cooking for my family.

Thank you for this information. I am going to use the Vitamix dry container to start this journey and make sure I'm able to do all of this, and then think about a mill. But, I do live in an apartment, and like you, with the WonderMill I don't like the idea of the grain dust being available to entice any pests, if you know what I mean.Your paper towel idea is a good one and if I purchase that machine I will utilize your tip. Again, thank you.

I have the Wondermill and just bought the Nutimill. I can relate to everything you stated. I didn't know how big the Nutrimill was.😂😂Wow!

Hello neighbor..from Big Stone Gap, Va! I’m choosing a mill and beginning to grind my own flour. Your channel is very helpful. 😅

Thank you so much for all the comparative info🙏🏼 I’m actually looking forward to getting one of these this Black Friday. Hope I get a good deal as I’m way up north of you and prices are steeper here😔

Great review. Thanks. I think I'll be getting the NutriMill😊

❤

Awesome, thank you! Side note, the Nutrimill lifetime warranty isn't a full lifetime warranty, some of the parts only have a 5-year warranty. the Wondermill is a full lifetime warranty. I only know because I was just comparing them, so maybe something has changed? :) Your pros/cons/comparison is super helpful, thank you!

Thank you for the comparison. I have the Classic and love it. I don’t find the loudness to be unbearable and it mills so quickly the noise doesn’t last long. All the mills are noisy, except the hand crank ones.

Thank you for this comparison video. I've been looking at these two mills and decided to see if someone had done a comparison video when my search found yours. I'm already subscribed to your KZfaq channel so seeing it was your video made me feel comfortable with your comparison. I live in an area where fruit flies are a huge problem, so I think I'll go with the NutriMill. Someone mentioned waiting for Black Friday sales, so I may wait until then to see if they have it marked down, otherwise, I'll probably use your link to make my purchase. Thank you for your GREAT videos.

I am pretty new to milling my own grain. I ended up buying the Wondermill and I really love it. So far, I have never had any problem with something getting in the tube. Not to say that something like that could happen. Your not weird for thinking something might get into the tube. LOL I just love your channel and you have helped me get the confidence I need in this whole milling our own grain journey..God bless you dear Mary, your so much fun...Sherri-Payette Idaho..P.S. Can someone tell me what they use their milled chick peas/dry beans for ?

This is the best review I have seen for the Wondermill for sure. You mentioned things no one else I listened to did. Thank you! I am really disappointed that they are both so loud. The noise, though, tends to bother my housemate who sleeps at very different hours than me. Now I am wondering if I should consider a Nutrimill Harvest (though I don't care for the higher price). Do you know of any other that might be quieter? Thanks again!

So either one would be an asset. I have problems with my fingers and wonder which would cause more pain trying to lift off the lids. I was leaning toward the Wondermill but have that question now. I just got my wheat berries and sunflower lecithin. I did buy a small coffee grinder to get started but recently had surgery on my fingers and can’t begin yet! So frustrating. I would appreciate any info on which mill would be easier on my hands. Thank you for the demonstration. ❤

I have had the whispermill, now the wondermill, for over 24 years. I have had no problems, except if a bay leaf from my grains plugs up the hole and I have to shut off, turn upside down, and knock out the leaf or leaves. I had watched a comparison years ago where they tested the two side by side milling grains till one quit, the nutrimill died first and the whispermill kept going so long they finally just had to turn it off. That's not to say it's the same since they were bought out. I do like the looks of the nutrimill better.

This was great to see both of these. The “always open tube/feed area” is probably the deal breaker for me. Also I’m bilaterally disabled with my hands so the less connections and fiddling around is a plus. Love your Channel and all the info you share. It’s like having a Kitchen Buddy to cook/bake with. ❤. Do you happen to know if one or both of these will have a Black Friday or PrimeDay offering? Thank you.

The neutral the smaller one I saw that they came out with attachments for quinoa, lentils, and other odd shaped grains. Do you feel like it’s absolutely necessary to get those attachments and does the wonder not need that?

I can't decide which one I want to get

I am a new subscriber and I really like your videos. I do have a question about wheat berries. I just purchased the Wonder mill, don't have it yet but soon. I have been using my Vitamix with the dry container, but I know that does take a lot of the nutrients out because of the heat. My question is, I have hard white wheat berries and hard red wheat berries, and just ordered Kamut grain from Azure Standard. Can I mix the wheat when I make bread or should I stick to one kind at a time. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer, and I really like how you explain things.

Thank you again. WIll the wondermill also process dry whole chickpeas?

Hi Mary! I really enjoy your vidoes! I did purchase the wondermill ( from Bread Beckers) and totally love it! I have one question maybe you can answer.. I have 6 clamps that came with it and have no idea what or where to suse them??? There wasnt anything in the maual about using them. Did you get them with your mill and do you use them?

Hi Mary I am happy to say that I have started my sourdough starter yesterday, and I had bubbles this morning. I have all the starter instructions written down. Can you please tell me which video I need to watch to get my starter ready for bread prepping

Good morning Mary i just a refurbished nutrimill grain mill, do i have to run berries through it the first time and throw out? Seems wasteful

Mary, how do these compare to the Nutrimill harvest grain mill

With the wonder mill you are not meant to store the flour in the collection container with the lid the has the gray feed tube on it, you're supposed to use the other lid.

Thanks! I heard that the WonderMill mills corn, but the NutriMill doesn't.

Good morning Mary i just a refurbished nutrimill grain mill, do i have to run berries through it the first time and throw out? Seems wasteful ,

What is that little cup for in the grain mill? Mine has a cup and for the life of me I can't figure out what its purpose is. If you could let me know I'd truly appreciate it

Well... I've already ordered a Nutrimill! I have a question for you though. I asked before if you had tried the Ezekiel bread recipe. I am determined to try that recipe. Will the Nutrimill have any issues with the beans in the recipe? There are pintos, kidney beans and white beans in it. I just wonder if those will go through as well as the wheat berries.

My sister found a small mouse getting into her Nutrimill. She covers it with a rubbermaid container.😮

Which one has the least fine flour dust after milling?

Have you ever ground corn in the wondermill or Nutrimill?

I just got my nutrimill and I can’t get it to go in to the yes. Yes, I did spew flour all over my kitchen. I’ve pushed and pushed and it doesn’t click or show yes. Any clues? I’m totally frustrated.

Cost? NutriMill less expensive

Wish I had seen this video earlier. I made the mistake of buying a Mockmill 200 and really am not happy with it. The flour comes out extremely hot if we try to grind it fine and having to constantly run rice through it to clean the stones plus disassemble after each use to clean the pocket around the stones. Plus having to adjust it till the stones hit for a fine grind makes me wonder what could be going into the flour. It's also slow, takes a couple minutes to grind 2 cups if hard red. Thinking about trying the wonder mill now. Thanks for the video.
