The failure mode

~1 in 24

~1 in 24 long-term reports mention a failure, spread across several isolated components with no single part dominating. Warranty outcomes lean resolved — 5 of 6 reported cases were made right. With the lowest failure rate of the 3 hand grinders we track and a 0% serious-failure rate, the reliability picture is genuinely encouraging.

0% report a serious failure.

Most common concern: grind_quality

Based on observed owner reports, not a sampled failure rate. ~1 in 24 of the long-term owner reports we analysed mention a failure — not the same as ~1 in 24 of units failing.
