Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 2.25" SMART CRUSHER Quality Tobacco Herb Grinder (non-aluminum grinder)
Customer Review: Wonderful, Especially For the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
- For $20, you really aren't going to get a better grinder anywhere. This has the quality of its $40 counterparts
- People criticize the screen for being too fine, but the buildup you collect is much more pure. Grinders with bigger screens tend to have bits of plant matter that fall through
- This grinder just feels durable and strong. I could spike this thing on a cement sidewalk and it would probably grind just like new
- The ground product is the perfect consistency for rolling. You will never get consistency like this if you break your smoking herbs up by hand
- The teeth are sharp and plentiful, but the grinder leaves no flecks of metal behind like some cheap grinders do
- It came with a nice little carrying pouch
Cons:
- I was expecting this grinder to be black based on the picture, but it was a chrome color instead. Color doesn't matter at all to me, but it's something potential buyers should be aware of
- The chamber where the grinded product falls into is very shallow. If you are careless when separating the layers, you might have your herbs spill out
- It might take a few tries to line up the threads on the layers correctly
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. I shutter to think about the grinders at my local smokeshop I was considering purchasing for almost double the price. I highly recommend this grinder to anyone
Customer Review: Won't (have to) buy again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a review-er type, but I really wanted to let people know how wonderful this item is. First, it is a joy to look at, and I really mean look at: this is a beautifuly made item, and little details, like the radius in the lid of the grinder compartment, or the included carry bag, are things I can see myself really coming to appreciate. It is a really great size, but not as heavy as I expected it to be, yet somehow feel more expensive because of it. To be honest, looking at it I kept thinking about exotic German cars. In short, it feels solid and precise, while looking impressive and understated.
I don't think the drop compartment is too small as some others have discussed, but the pollen screen is very fine, and I am not sure how much will sift through. On the flip, not much will sift up (like in transit), either, keeping the precious safe. As a bonus, the screen feels tight as a drum, which is where I have had other grinders fail.
Only gripes are some VERY minor cosmetic defects on inner surfaces and that I would have preferred the magnet to attach the lid protrude up from the body (when assembled) than down from the lid, but these are VERY minor nitpicks on a grinder I would expect to see for $50-70, retail, plus $10 for the pouch.
This is a phenomenal product, not just for the price. I would buy again, but I doubt I will have too!
Customer Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved my order with in 3 days, I didn't get the little cloth bag to put the grinder in. But that doesn't bother me. Like everyone else stated, it's not as dark as it looks in the picture. It's still very cool looking and it feels awesome. Has alittle weight to it.
Okay, now on to how the product preforms. This grinder can handle anything I threw at it. The teeth are something to behold, they are tough and can shred through your herb very easy. The teeth don't seem very likely to break. The compartment that holds the shredded contenst is very roomy. I don't see why people say it's to small. I have filled it full a few times and it lasted me and a friend through the night. I also personally like the filther on this grinder. I have a nice pollen collection building up in mine. Very pure, no plant matter.It's not taking me very long to build it up ether.
I have come paired it to my friends grinder, his is so small, no filter or bottom pollen compartment. His went for $25 at the local headshop. So you can't bet the price of this grinder. Its worth every cent and will make you very happy.
Oh one more thing because of the finish, the grinder will get very dirty from fingre prints. They are easy to clean off, this is the only thing that bothers me. But it's such a minor thing with an easy fix of wiping it down after your done with it.
Customer Review: Solid item, great crusher
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many of the other reviewers, I thought that for the price, I was going to be getting something kind of cheap and not well made.. I was definitely wrong about that! This is a great grinder that helps to prepare medicinal herbal medicine into a form that an be vaporized or smoked. The grinder is solid, feels heavy in your hands and comes with a nice velvet storage bag. There are different levels to catch herb at different densities. There is also a kief catcher for pollen at the very bottom of the unit.
The chopping blades are strong and sharp. I do not expect to wear them out any time soon. They did very well working through medicine with different kinds of plant material. The crusher turns easily and screws together nicely. The outer surface can be easily cleaned with soap and water or an alcohol pad. I have not tried cleaning any of the inside surfaces and would probably avoid it because of the pollen screen. I am not sure how the screen would hold up to cleaning. The top with the blades could definitely take soap and water or an alcohol pad as well.
The metal surface is gorgeous, expect to get fingerprints on it. Cleaning it is easy though.
Great quality, great price and very functional. What more could one want?
Customer Review: What are people QQing about???
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is excellent, yet people are crying about it? I do not understand...
The reality of the matter is:
Extremely sturdy construction, nice and SOLID with a bit of weight to it. I don't know about anyone else but when I buy metal stuff, I want some weight. I don't know why this matters to me... Regardless, it's solid.
It grinds perfectly, no "big chunks" left behind as one user commented. Not sure if they're doing it wrong or what but I have not had a single problem with the grind quality.
As for the room this thing contains -- another complaint by more than one user -- how much room do you need? I mean, unless you are lung cancer waiting to happen, there is plenty of room for the grinder to pack one, maybe two fairly large pipes in a single grind. Don't be lazy and do a second grind if you have to. Who stashes their herb in their grinder, anyhow?
Anyway, great product, I love it, looks sweet, and you can get the crusher in different colors! Not through this product thread, but others! Go look! I wish I had gotten a red one, but this one is awesome, too.
