I have an Accolade 400. Will this grinder work for me? Thank you.

Jennifer. I worked for a Hobart/Kitchenaide repair shop for over 8 years. All Kitchenaide accessories will work on all modern Kitchenaide mixers. My grinder has been used on 3 different models of mixers and each has performed well. I have used my grinder to make flours and meals of corn, wheat, buck wheat, rye, rice, spelt, millet, amaranth, black beans, almonds, peanuts and sorghum. I ground 40 pounds (about 3/4 bushel) of corn this past week with the grinder attached to a model KP216M1 (600 Professional). Your Accolade 400 is a medium powered mixer and will easily handle this grinder. Please remember not run the mixer with grinder for longer than 20 minutes without giving the motor a rest to cool down.

Hi Jennifer, my understanding of all KitchenAid attachments is that they work with any KitchenAid stand mixer. You can visit their home page and get more details at http://kitchenaid.com. I hope my response has been helpful to you.

The comment about the plastic transmission cover is quite true. I have replaced numerous plastic covers with the heavy duty aluminum cover. None of the users said the grinder was the fault for the failure. Long run times over 20 minutes and repeated use of the dough hook was the culprit over 90% of the time.

Yes it should work with your mixer. The kitchen aids were all made with the same shape and size attachment hole, but if you have any questions contact kitchenaid.com

To answer this question, I would contact KitchenAid directly through kitchenaid.com. You can Live chat, email, or phone. Better to be safe.

Yes, it will work. However, the Accolade series was built with the plastic transmission cover that so many owners have complained about and the grain mill does give the mixer a workout. You might want to contact Kitchenaid to see what they recommend.

I'm not sure Carey? I was not pleased with it as a stand for a grinder! It is much too light for a medium sized grinder. I would have to bolt the stand to the floor to avoid tipping. Also the stand base is much too small for a normal sized bench grinder. It needs to have a larger base and be significantly heavier to be of any use. As far as I am concerned it is a toy.

It has the capability with the course belt, but there are better options. A cheap angle grinder with a 100 grit wheel would be a better approach. If the work sharp us all you have it will do it.

I am no help here. I have only used it for coffee. IT seems like it would work fine, but that is only a guess on my part. I would say it is one of the best grinders for coffee that I have owned.

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

Yes. The longer you grind the finer the result. The see-though top will show you the result of your grinding.

No. You will need a higher capacity converter for that. Grinders are an inductive load ( high inrush current), this is designed to operate up to 500 W resistive.

Yes it will work nicely with that grinder. 5/8 arbor 11 thread. wear your saftey glasses as you use the wire wheel those wires fly off like little spears.

It should work, you will need a washer for the difference in size of dia. from 5/8 to 7/8. If you don't have the correct size washer go to a box store they should have replacement parts for your grinder. I'm not sure "washer" is the correct name for the part. it will cost you under $5.00

The below comment is accurate. The people from this company are very good. I had a problem with mine not grinding and they sent me a new one.

Well, not knowing the requirements for your grinder, I don't know why it wouldn't, assuming it is driven by a pulley and belt, or even with some sort of a coupling if the shafts match. Sorry I can't give a more educated answer.

I have no idea. SorryI asked my husband and he said probably not. This is a great grinder though!!

Sorry, I don't believe so. I can tell you however, that it is a great grinder for the price.

It will depend on how many amps the grinder draws while running. If I remember right this switch is good for ten amps. A small grinder would work fine.

I got my grinder in September 2013. I use it twice a day, 4-5 days a week. It works perfectly for me.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!

It grinds the amount you want. I would NOT recommend buying this grinder. Mine lasted 9 months.....
