Hi there,
Been reading on this forum a while, and finally decided to post some questions :).

I'm considering getting a Rocket Fausto, mostly for the large(ish) flat burrs, the motor, the modest footprint, and most of all the option to clean without recalibrating. I talked to Rocket about the motor, as some sites say it's a 250W, but they said (and I quote): "FAUSTO motor specs are: Motor: 230V / 50 or 115V / 60
500 W - single phase, RPM 1,360". Any other information about this grinder is pretty scarce, except that it's a Eureka rebadge.

What I'm curious about is how experiences have been for people who've had this grinder a while.

* How is it to clean?
* How is retention?
* How's the noise level?
* How is the consistency of the grind?
* How is the consistency of the electronic dosing?
* Can you use it without using the electronic dosing?
* Any "weird" things I should know about ;)

I know some of these questions are probably easily answered by finding a brick & mortar shop and checking it out, and I am definitely going to do that as well.

In the meantime, thanks for your help & have a nice day.

Adrian

PS if you have worthy alternatives, the budget is €800-1000 :)
