Not inexpensive, but a very good mill, I bought the 99 model 10 years ago and it's still working as it should grain mill.

We have used the Family Grain Mill for two loaves of bread, at least twice a week, for 14 years. Plus other grains.
After 13 years the motorized base gave out. Covid shortage had new bases unavailable for a few months. The kids took turns grinding with the hand crank. It worked but they were all glad when the new base showed up. The grinding head is still going strong. Family Grain Mill This is best considered as an electric mill, with a manual backup. |

I've had and used the Wondermill (electric) and the Wondermill Jr (manual).
Both work well. Hand grinding is a lot of work. I need to replace my Jr for my shtf stash. |

I had the grinder and hand base but lost it in my divorce. I kept the flaker attachment though, and then bought a used K11 base unit to power it. I'm also picking up one of the K11 shredding attachments; it will likely also work with the FGM manual crank base. I currently own a Country Living mill and absolutely love it. The FGM was perfectly usable and produced decent flour, but I'm glad I upgraded when replacing the one I left behind. |

Had ours several years now, ground a ton. I will wear out and rot before it shows any signs of slowing down, not many things built like that anymore. |

The Jr does seem to be the best on the market in regard to capability/versatility, durability, and price. Just curious but why do you need to replace your Jr? Is something worn or broke on it? Thanks |

Thanks The Wondermill suffered the same fate. Both *could* be cleaned up and used, but food stuff and mice for me are   I feel the Jr was simple and rugged enough for plenty of use. We do have the adapter and pulley to hook it up to an electric motor or HD drill, because hand cranking SUCKS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We built a new house (on the same property) a few years ago, and we only took what we needed as we moved in while under construction. The mice IMMEDIATELY took over the old house (1800's log house) and my Wondermill Jr became got nasty to the point I won't use it. The Wondermill suffered the same fate.

I was thinking you somehow broke or wore out the thing which seems like it'd be hard to do. Seems like it's good to go for decades of daily use. Thanks |
