We now have both an electric and a hand crank grain mill. The electric is a Nutrimill and is almost idiot proof. I know this because I can use it. The hand crank is a Corona grain mill which was my Dad's and have not used it yet. Their are several sites to do research. Questions to ask yourself is how often are you really going to use it, and what are you going to grind? If you have a large family and will be using it daily, you might want to get an electric one. Some grinders are not able to grind certain items such as rice and popcorn. Check out www.crokettscorner.com . Good luck!
