Drag, what's to drag... that little thingie weighs what, like 6
pounds.... and the business part that actually grinds will practically
fit in your pocket, it's only a small housing and four small parts to
clean, you don't wash the motor. I use my grinder for small jobs all
the time. The grinder is the least of the cleaning compared with the
things used for preparing what you grind, like the knife, cutting
board, and bowl(s), like the cookware, stirrers, dishes, eating
utensils, and what about cleaning the stove. All kitchen work
requires cleaning, a grinder is easier to clean than most kitchen
appliances... a quick swishin hot soapy water in the prep bowl needs
cleaning anyway, then a quick rinse.... takes all of 3 minutes to
clean a grinder and no scrubbing. I hate to clean the toaster and the
coffee mill, that's messy.
