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

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.

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.

Broken lid and unhappy !!

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.

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!

Bottom black runners are not good. Came out when we removed it from package and lost one. Should have used better quality. Provide extra with the product.

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.

This is an product par excellence. The grinder itself is very sturdy and can go on for years. My sister has one for almost 15 years now and no issues at all.The idlies are soft and the batter is thick and much better than what you get in stores. I have been owning it for a week now and falling in love with the product.I read one of the harsh reviews. I think this is a typical indian grinder suitable only for making south indian food like idly,dosa, pesarattu. Anything other than that is pushing this product. Ofcourse its my 2 cents..
