This wet grinder is the absolute basic quality. It came well packaged, but unfortunately the grinding stone had a washer of very poor quality, which had already fallen off. I didn't realize this and so ran the first cycle with the ingredients. Found that it was noisy and rattling, and when finished, the steel drum had a circular dent running across. Took the grinding stone out and one of the heavy stones just fell off! Did not expect such poor quality, it could have easily fallen on my foot or worse on my child. Anyway, since I cannot be bothered with the returns I have set into it myself with some spare washers. It still rattles and I don't know when it will stop working. Ultimately I feel it is a compromise and goes to show that companies still profiteer from people being desperate for Indian stuff.
