How long can this grinder run before it overheats?

How long can I leave this on for at a time? and Does it keep the contents hot/warm?

Depends how much quantity and what you are grinding. Something soft like soaked lentils it can easily grind 5-6 cups and soaked idli rice 3-4 cups. I don't run it continuously more than an hour. Hope this helps...

Sorry, can't help you. Actually this is my 2nd Bodum Bistro coffee grinder. I've had the first one for almost two years. I use it about 5 times a week to grind enough beans to make 10 cups each time. The first one still works fine. I only bought the second one as a back up in case it is no longer available if and when the first one gives out. I've started doing that- if I find something I *really* like I buy a second one because they have a habit of "improving" it to the point that I no longer like the new "improved" model.

That grinder has a cfm rating for continuous use. Your small compressor will run it, but may run out of air. But regardless. That grinder is a great tool.

This is a wet grinder and is used to grind soaked rice and soaked black gram to make a batter. We usually run it for 1-2 hours and not more than that.

a minute or so. Depends on how fast you turn the crank and how fine you set the grinding mechanism

I do 18g on a medium grind (7 clicks from tightest setting) and it doesn't take more than a minute. I can time it next time I use it.EDIT 9/18/14: I timed it and 18g took 60 seconds.

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

my grinder won't even operate!!! am i missing something? should it just come on when I press "on"??

I am not sure why this is a question. You can see when this grinder gets low, however depending on use, it'll last at least a month.

how long can it run before it becomes to hot and you have to turn it off to cool ?

It runs a Compressor with a belt. I guess it depends on how much resistance there is when your grinding. It should start with no problem.

Mine only makes a quick, not too loud of a noise, right as it turns on... before it starts to grind. It only lasts a fraction of a second. I would be concerned if you have a continuing noise. I would exchange it, rather than worry every time you use it.

One hour for sure, we regularly use this to grind rice and other cereals. Usually the stuff runs for 1 hr. It has never heated up. I would say it should run 1-2 hrs with ordinary load and easy to grind items. May not fit for commercial needs though.

I use mine primarily for seeds. I don't notice any heat build up but I am probably only grinding for 20 to 30 seconds. I have also used it for nuts which is a bit longer grind time but once again I have not noticed any build up. I imagine if you keep it running long enough you could experience heat build up. Overall I love mine - grinding sunflower, chia, sesame to put them into various foods.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

Sadly the answer is no. There is a tab on the battery that prevents the 4 amp battery from fitting. Removing the tab could be dangerous as the circuitry in the grinder was not designed to handle batteries over 3 Amp/Hr and could cause overheating of the battery and thus a lithium ion fire.

I would say the one I have same one on the picture, and it isn't worth the money, it just went totally dead in few months, I replaced this with a grinder that I bought from starbuck in 1999 and it did ran perfect until july 2013 !!
