I've had the grain mill that this attaches to for a few years and finally got tired of using it by hand (especially during the summer I'll work up a sweat just grinding enough for a single loaf of bread). This makes it as easy as flipping a switch. Important note: I may not be the normal target market for home grain mills (I'm an able-bodied 30-something year old dude who just happens to like rustic baking), but I can grind grain by hand way faster than this thing does. If you need to grind a lot and don't care about having the option of doing it by hand, you may very well be better off getting a standalone mill that has a motor integrated into it. For me, this was the cheapest reliable option as I already had the mill, and I can just set it to run while I'm doing dishes or whatever so the time it takes doesn't bother me.

Fairly quiet. Does a good job Runs pretty cool.

This is for the Victorio Food Strainer and grinder. Easy to attach the motor to the strainer. It does move and wobble when using. I initially thought I had not installed it properly, but then noticed a review that mentioned this after I had already purchased it. The instruction manual has a cautionary note about “resting” the motor when using the grinder. The piece that attaches the motor to the strainer is plastic and not metal so I am concerned this will be the part that eventually breaks. The motor really spreads up the process and makes processing items easier and quicker. Found it is better to cut up the fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces as they feed through the strainer easier and doesn’t tax the motor. The Strainer works great and gets 5 stars. The motor has worked fine for me for making tomato sauce and applesauce. I gave it 4 stars only because of the plastic holder.

We liked the motor for faster grinding. It seems well built and strong. We got the used motor.

Takes the work out of the grinding. Id advise you to just buy this with the grain grinder because you will buy it later if you don't.

The machine works as advertised. I wanted to reduce and stop buying bleached flour for our family's health, so I bought the grinder and then purchased this motor as my Christmas gift. I'm glad I did! I opted for a used one marked as 'like new,' saving $20 on this product. The motor comes with a 5-year warranty, which is awesome. I also appreciate the company's excellent customer service; they were very helpful when I reached out previously. I feel confident that if I need assistance in the future, the company will be supportive. I highly recommend getting a motor for your mill grinder because milling by hand is not an easy job! P.S. Note that you need to twist the motor attachment slightly to fit the grind mill arm attachment. It took me a moment to realize that.

Excellent replacement, works gret

If you have to mill more flour than what is required for 1 loaf of bread a week, don't even bother. My family goes through about 2-3 loaves of bread a week plus the occasional pizza, rolls, tortillas, ect. and this motor broke after a month. I contacted customer service and they fixed it for me or replaced. I'm not really sure. The customer service rep was responsive to emails about my problem but once I informed I sent my motor back, I received no further communication until I emailed confirming they received the package. Once I received the 2nd motor (again not sure if it was a brand new one or mine that was "fixed") the same exact problem happened within a week. The motor no longer spins the milling mechanism. I am not even going to bother contacting customer service this time because it is not worth the time and postage required to send it back.

The best way to mill grains without overheating motor ,is to be certain to use DRY grains, that means before milling, you should dry grains in oven till is dry to the touch and crusty. Choice is yours. Jaroslav

Love this. Processed and entire apple trees worth of apples with much less shoulder pain than last year. Highly recommend.

Wow, this saves me a LOT of hand cranking. Why does the motor squeak so loud like it doesn't have grease? Its not really that loud, but is annoying for a device that could easily have had a smooth bearing. No problem with overheating. I suspect the one review about overheating was caused by tightening the grind much too tight. Find the grind level with the hand crank first, then attach the motor. It clips on very easily and stays secure.

Bought this motor for my wife's birthday. First time we used it it broke. And it just happened to be a day after the return window. I don't like how once the return window is closed you are out of luck. How do you return a faulty product? Apple sauce still tasted great though.

Ok to Start having the vkp250 already made processing easier. Now add the motor. Hah awesome. You don't have to sit or stand brace the unit and turn. Just turn it on or off. Slick. Only downside, we wished it had more than one speed. Wouldn't mind a slower speed as well. All the product went through great though. Worth the investment, now longevity, time will tell for that one!
