Terrible grinder - chopper. Do not get. It cannot handle any mor than a teaspoon of kosher salt--barley can handle it.

The clear bottom cup is 3.75" high with a 3" diameter and a 10.5" circumference. It holds about 1.5 cups. I use to primarily to grind garlic and I put 5-6 large cloves at a time. I also use it to chop basil for pesto.

I'm not sure how sturdy your herbs are, but I use mine to grind coffee and that's a pretty tough substance. Be careful, however, not to densely pack the grinder and pulse it to grind. Don't overload it and then jam down on the buttons. That's a sure recipe for failure.

Hi, Johnnyman83,My Cuisinart MM-2M Mini-Mate offering is in the box, never unpacked or used. However, the box itself is 7" tall, 3.5" wide one way, and 4.25" wide the other. If you look at the height, the motor is on the top, the grinder portion on the bottom - looks like it comprises more than half the height. My "guess-timate" on the grinder size is about 3" tall and 3" across. Does that give you an indication of how it would work on herbs? I've done coffee beans and nuts, but not "softer" things like spices. I see other posters say it does well, but use "bursts" of short duration or the motor will burn out. I hope this helps.

5 1/2 inches tall about 3 in diameter.. holds about a cup or about two grocery store spice jars of missed whole herbs. If you use a mix that is without salt, you may want too add some salt crystals for salt grinders to absorb any moisture. Also beware the top outer ring is designed to slip off.. have lost it into soup more than once. the grind is set by a small white knob on top.. fro the coursed grind you have to unscrew until to comes off, then screw it on just one or two turns.. sounds complicated, but it stays set.. Note the bottom is notched slightly for ease of gripping.

It's a standard size... maybe 5 1/2"?? Same size a dewalt grinder. I use this for small jobs. If I have to make lots of cuts, I go with the cord and plug. I do like it. It hasn't dissapointed me yet.

i had to take the guards off my 8 inch bench grinder. i believe they are 10 inches in diameter. i wasn't a big fan of them. it took too much work,maybe i didn't give it enough of a chance.

It is large, standing 8 inches tall not including the handle. The stainless cylinder that contains the ground coffee is 5-1/2 inches high by nearly 4 inches in diameter. The hopper for the grinder on top holds beans for about 4 cups maximum, but of course you can refill the hopper and keep grinding until the cylinder is full. Overall I find the capacity perfect. I use it with my French press and make coffee for two to four people at breakfast or after dinner. If it were much larger it would be difficult to hold as you grind. If you want a smaller one or if you want to do very fine espresso grinding then go for the Turkish model that looks like a pepper grinder and just do a cup at a time. My friend has one of these and it also works well.

No, 4 CM wide wheels will not fit on this grinder. 1 inch looks like the max width on mine.

This is a true coffee grinder not the chopper type which could be used for herbs spices etc. I would put nothing in this mill other than coffee. For coffee it is excellent

Im guessing, but its around 8 inches tall. Should easily fit under any cabinet & is really a high quality grinder.

It's a bit smaller than a cuisinart grinder. The switch seems sturdier than the cuisinart. And the cord is definitely long enough, it was would up inside for storage.

I looked online to see what your grinder looks like, I found one and the pic is a bit blurry but it does resemble this one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would not recommend this grinder for spices. I tried grinding spices and the second time I used it it stopped working completely and I sent it back for a refund.

If you're going to use an electric grinder for your ...herbs... I suggest a smaller handheld-style grinder, this type : http://i.imgur.com/foRBisx.jpg - almost no waste. The Cuisinart is full of moving parts for powder and leaves to get stuck.

I have not yet dismantled the grinder yet-- but I do know that the mill is adjustable-- and that the grinders are large enough to handle Coffee berry/beans just fine. Ask me in a year or two, if I have had a chance to tear into it by then.-- Mack

Shirley, I haven tried that, but I think the cumin and cardamon would be fine. I wouldn't try anything bigger than peppercorns...or anything harder either. I hope this helps you. It is a sturdy little grinder!

The grinder is roughly 4" tall and the diameter is about 2" at the bottom and 2.5 inches at the top.

It is made for a 6" bench grinder with a 1/2 " arbor. If you can change the grinder wheels you can mount the polisher wheels.

Yeah, it can handle any size herb. Pounds quite easily. The only negative is the size of this model. It is soooo heavy which can make you think twice before using it, and realizing that you'll have to pick it up and clean it. I am thinking of buying a smaller model as well for the spices. They are beautifully made, works of art almost.
