I have that basic model (scroll down to similar products), but I didn't get the northern brewer model. They are all made by the same factory in China, and different distributors add a base and handle, stickers, etc. I got one without a base so I could mount it how I wanted and save a few $. The biggest issue I had was that it didn't always feed well when powered by a drill (not enough torque at desired speed and hard not to go too fast). I finally bought a low speed drill and it works great with that.
