I have two, and I'm very happy with how they perform. They are highly reliable, use very little power, and are just about perfect for making moderately small amounts of BP in two to three hours. I believe the ideal load is around 200 grams, but I make 100 gram batches without any problem. I hear that 300 or even 400 gram batches are possible, but might take a little longer to mill.

If you have any more questions, I would be happy to try and answer them.
Even when I'm wrong, I'm convincing.

I have two as well. I like them enough and the size works great for me. I loaned one of my larger mills out and have not turned the other one since receiving my first Pyro-Gear mill.

I have one too. I use mine for single component milling, to make BP that rivals the commercial product. I run mine off a battery, in a beer cooler. Sometimes I run it under the hood of my car. I put clips on mine to run from batteries, but sometimes I run it from a small battery charger. I like it just fine.
