Any reviews of Fetco GR1.2 grinder?

Does anybody here have experience with this machine? Good, bad, or ugly? Are the portion size settings changeable? And what are "vertical slice grinding disks?"

Yes the portion sizes are changeable along with grind out time. Honestly it escapes me why they even bothered to list the burrs that way. I think they did it to make is sound more sophisticated? Bunn, Fetco, and Grindmaster all have vertical burrs. Its simply means the motor is mounted horizontal aka its laying on its side versus standing on its end. When you get in to grinders like Ditting most of your espresso grinders the motor is vertical so the burrs are horizontal.

Simply put its a sales gimmick. The Fetco 2.2 or 2.3 is a good grinder.
