FridgeFreezer Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 They may be chocolate, but they have a TWO YEAR GUARANTEE which means you should get two years grinding for your money. Not bad methinks. They're 860W 115mm BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 My Wickes grinder is a few years old and still going strong. Paid about £15 IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I bought a 15quid clarke jobbie from machine mart, its pathetically underpowered but what can you expect for £15. It will stall if you try to take paint off with the 65mm wire-wheel Only good thing is its garenteed so i just take it back when it breaks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
