Anyone used the mill the Malt Miller sells?

Has anyone used the mill the Malt Miller sells? It seems pretty decent in terms of price and is back in stock (am not sure if it is a clone or not) but anyone able to chip in as to how it performs and whether it is worth getting or going for something else?

I'm also interested in this. I've also seen brewbuilder does one similar for 70.

Good to hear if anyone has experience of either.

Anyone have either?

As when I get to brew is a bit random due to family life and being slightly tight I'm looking to buy a bag of MO and grind as I need it.

I have one from Brewbuilder.

It's good, has done well for me, although you need to mount it to a board of some kind and the screws for doing so aren't supplied.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.

Great, thanks for the feedback. I've got a garage full of 18mm Mdf off cuts.

I meant to ask, are the two rollers connected by gears?

Almost certainly not, since there's no need for any mechanical connection between the rollers. The grain being pulled down by the driven roller causes the undriven roller to rotate.

I have one I'm looking to shift if anyone's interested??

Bought from Rob a couple of months back and used twice. Works perfectly but I don't brew enough to justify having it sat here.

£75 and I'll ship it for nowt.
