iRainy Grinder

Pros:- Portable, easy to take with you for road trips, camping, etc.- Effective. Has no problem grinding through plant stems- Good design. Nice grip on the top for ease of use and screen doesn't clog. Pollen collector works well and is easy to get on and off.- Value. Good bang for buck. This is a great grinder, especially for the price.Cons:- Size. A little small for if you use a lot of herbs regularly.Overall, this is a great grinder provided you don't have a lot of herbs to grind at one time. It is highly effective, portable and great for grinding small amounts at a time. If you have a lot of herbs to grind, you might want a bigger model, but I would recommend checking out this brand's offerings.

If you need a small, portable grinder it can be hard to find given that all of the grinders out there are these crazy massive half-robotic messes with all sorts of cranks and cogs and crazy designs to stand out. That or they're just the generic grinder, you know the type, with the print over the top.But this grinder is small, and has a reasonably nice design. AND it even has the pollen catch which was a dealbreaker for me. A lot of the smaller grinders are crappy two pieces but this is the real deal! Its great to have the pollen catcher.Here's the problem, though - it is sort of difficult to grip when you need to twist off the middle part. There's not a lot of room to grab onto. If you have arthritic hands or something I don't recommend this. Even if you have normal hands you might find yourself... slightly annoyed by it. It's not a huge deal, but it is kinda annoying.And finally, I guess because they had to deal with the size limitation, the threading is facing /inward/ towards where the herb falls, which means the herb can easily get into the grooves. So far this has not been a problem and I have used it daily for about a year.It's a great little portable grinder. You can look over those minor flaws, as they are probably a result of having to make it small while keeping all the chambers. I recommend it.

This product was a lot smaller than I expected. This was my mistake though as the size is clearly listed in the description. It seems like it is good quality and it is very easy to use. However, it does not work well for fresh herbs. I tried basil and cilantro and it did not work well for either. I also tried coriander - basically the holes are too big for it to fully grind the coriander. It would cut the seeds in half and then they would fall through the holes into the reservoir so it didn't really grind it. Overall this product isn't something that I will using based off of the way that I cook.

This grinder is a good buy for the price. It makes a nice pocket or backpack grinder. The ergonomics are sleek and designed for quality use, however this grinder needs to be used with small quantities of herb at a time. The teeth on the grinder are so what dull and can get stuck on the really sticky herbs.

When I first opened the box, I was shocked and how small the grinder actually was. I thought nothing of it as sometimes good things come in small packages. First we tried rosemary, it was fresh so a little stickier than normal. I think it did a good job. I think this will be a convenient tool in our kitchen.

Didn't realize this was so small, wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Never heard of a grinder this tiny. It does get stuck when grinding, and the paint has been wearing off the sides and teeth, and landing with my herb. Not a fan of smoking paint with my herbs. Would return but am not allowed to as I used it for my medical herbs and now am not allowed to put it in the postal service. Oh well. Loss of 10 dollars.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this grinder, I usually buy direct from dispensaries, but all of my local ones are sold out of grinders! This little grinder is perfect if you aren't going through a lot of smokables during the week like me, if you just need to get them ground up and stored elsewhere. The pollen trap is great too!

You know what its for and how it works. It does that. More than happy, its my first and I'd say its worth it. If you really need something bigger then I'd suggest cutting back on your use or tell your culinary friends to bring their own prep tools. As a casual user of fresh spices I'd say its perfect. Now leave your room and go contribute to society.
