Grind+ Gold 2 Liter Table Top Wet Grinder with Atta Kneader, 110 Volt

I owned this same Ultra Grind+ Gold 2 liter table top wet grinder for 3 years back in my country. It was a 220 volt model. It was running without any issues. Since I had to relocate to USA with my family, I had to sell my "work horse" grinder back in my country. So, I ordered a new one (Ultra Grind+ Gold 2 liter table top wet grinder) from Amazon but a 110 volt model, with the seller Gandhi Appliances, on 30th Dec 2016. I received it (free shipping) in 2 calendar days. It came with superb neat packing to my Plano,TX address. The manufacturer carton (box) was covered with bigger brown carton box packing done by this seller. The item I received from Gandhi appliances was manufactured in Aug 2016 (so I was pretty happy) and it was brand new, unopened & sealed pack (with that fresh packing product smell : ) ). It came with stain less steel atta kneader and another white color big wide attachment (I dont have time to check what was that--may be a spare part). Also, the manufacturer (Ultra) has given a packet with few spare parts like small black belt, screws, internal holders (may be for holding the drum) etc., so that (I guess) you don't need to worry about its critical spare parts. Regarding the dosa & idly batter & its taste (prepared from this new grinder), since we have used the same EXACT product in our country for 3 years, I am extremely satisfied with the way the batter comes. We tried preparing this batter with Mixie (Preeti 550 watts 110v model) but it was 1) not sufficient quantity 2) we were missing the exact quantity of urad dal and rice required when we do it with a mixie; so we went with purchasing the Ultra grinder itself. This grinder comes with 1 year full warranty and 5 years warranty for motor. But, trust me, the Ultra brand is good and even after 3 years of usage in our country, there were too many buyers to buy our used grinder for a competitive price. Please go for it. I bought it for $346.40 total ($320 for item, $26.40 for tax & free shipping) on 30th Dec 2016. Thank you.

I purchased the Ultra Grind+ Gold 2 Liter Wet Grinder with Atta Kneader after reading several positive reviews, and it has lived up to my expectations. As someone who frequently prepares dosa, idli, and other traditional South Indian dishes like vada , this grinder has made the process so much easier and faster. Powerful Motor: The 110V version works perfectly for the US voltage, and the motor is quite powerful, allowing for smooth grinding of rice, lentils, and other ingredients. Build Quality: The machine feels sturdy, and the quality of materials used is top-notch. The drum is made of high-quality stainless steel, and it’s easy to clean. Quiet Operation: Compared to other grinders I’ve used, this one is relatively quiet, making it more pleasant to use, especially early in the morning.

This seems to be a great appliance and I like it. Turns out very good idly batter. I haven't tried anything else yet. Although a decal posted on the appliance clearly states "please read instructions before using the product", there was no instruction booklet or warranty papers included in the box. Since we have used another grinder in the past and was familiar with the operation, we decided to keep the appliance since we really needed one.

Arrived totally broken. Asked the seller to replace, he first asked me to send the pictures. Which I did, & then he sent me a new lid. I’m the meantime I tried to see if the product works as it arrived broken. But as soon as I connected it to the power, it sparked, gave a foul rubber burning odor & saw some smoke Coming out from the underneath of the machine. I mentioned this to the seller to which he again asked me to send pics. Finally I decided that I need a refund cause this product is risky. Now the seller wants the product shipped back. Since I received this during COVID-19 I had discarded all the boxes for safety & the product has 3 big stones for grinding. That makes this product very heavy. I have no means of returning the product securely packaged. Now neither am I able to get my refund, nor will I be able to use it & to top it all, it’s huge piece of trash occupying space in my house Very very displeased... pls see attached video

Coming from India, wet grinder is basically a necessity, rather than a want/need. We eat idly/dosa every other week so we needed something that’s very dependable. Of course we knew, being an Amazon customer and paying for Prime subscription has its perks but again the products and the product support is also dependent on the seller on this platform. After we received the wet grinder, we found some gum in the bottom middle portion of the drum which actually didn’t come off and looked more like a manufacturing thing. When we contacted the seller and expressed our concern that we don’t like having visible gum on a product that potentially might affect our 3 Yr old. They said it happens all the time and we don’t have to worry about it. But wife was not convinced so I reached out again. The seller was so kind to ship me a drum after performing their quality checks personally and we got a drum that was just perfect! After a month of usage, probably 3 times of grinding with different ratios of rice/dal, the batter came out perfectly each and every time. We used Insta pot as well as the oven with just the light for fermentation and it came out perfectly both the times. The instant pot batter in the picture was actually only half of the pot after grinding. So it basically doubled in yogurt mode!

This is a flagship product in wet grinder's that does its job in minimal time. It just took 30 min for grinding rice(10 cups) and 20 min for urad dhall(2.5Cups). I owned a premier wet grinder for 3 years and it almost took 3 hours to grind rice and 2.5 hours to grinf dhall. This grinder saved so much time and does what it needs to in in perfect quality. The magic is with the design of the stones. It is conical and its patent rights is owned by Ultra company. I really feel bad looking at the poor rating this grinder has got. I think it depends whether you get a quality product at first time, if not just return it since it has 1 year USA warranty and it has great support from Ultra care team. The cost could have been $30 less. NVM, flagships always are on higher end.

Lid had cracked in couple of places. Grinder looks fine. Not sure how to get this replaced ?

Grinds perfectly fine batter to make great dosa at home.

This is a relatively heavy machine for what it does! It's a stone-based, wet grinder and it does a great job. Along with the Instant pot for precise, controlled fermenting, it is a great combination for idli and dosa batter. Coming on 6 years of use and I am quite happy with the unit. I also would consider this unit to be "quiet" considering the heavy duty grinding it does. My espresso machine is noisier. A sit down at Starbucks is also noisier than this machine. If your meals are (mostly) South Indian, then this is an essential purchase.

This product is good, processes good quantity per trip, noise levels are not that bad, if i have to complain anything about it, then its price, it may be over priced by $50 or so.

We use ours to make various types of homemade nut butter, most often cashew butter. Needs nothing more added than a bit of salt. The grinder conches (in a similar way to cocoa beans) the nuts so well, no added oil is needed and it never separates. Clean-up is fairly easy, albeit messy with nut butter. We've made 3 batches of nut-butter is a single day, which takes about an hour each. While the motor and the bowl do heat up during extended use such as this, the machine was more than equal to the task. My wife (who is allergic to peanuts - the reason we make our own alternate nut-butters) and I are extremely happy with this machine. It was worth every cent.

Looking at the rating I bought this product but I am really disappointed. This product may be good for those who use it once in a month not for someone like me who would use it every alternate day. The motor stopped working within 2 months. Clearly the product quality is cheap for the price. The customer service is absent with the seller based in US. I should have researched a little more before buying.

The grinder is very good. I have used this brand for the past 14 years and never had any problems. Still continue to use it. It's very efficient. The atta dough feature is excellent n roti are very soft.
