(More customer reviews)I got both salt and pepper mills and am very happy with them.They're identical except that the salt mill has a silver body and the pepper mill has a black one.
Operation is great - you just flip it over and it starts grinding.Since the opening is on the top, it also doesn't leave any mess on my counter, unlike conventional mills.I love that I can keep these by the stove for cooking, then move them to the table for serving.They look at home in both settings and work great for either setting.They're large and easy to hold, especially the pepper mill with it's rubberized black base.My father has arthritis and couldn't dream of using a manual mill, but these are no problem.
They put out a good quantity of ground salt/pepper and the grind is fairly easy to adjust. I found that it helps a lot to have the mill running when making the grind finer since the coarse chunks still in the grinding wheels will prevent them from being tightened very much.
Using six batteries, as others have mentioned, is weird because you can't buy six batteries.Fortunately, if you buy both mills, you'll need twelve batteries and that's a multiple of four and that works out fine.I bought some four packs of the rechargable Sanyo Eneloop batteries to power mine and they still haven't run down after about a year (love Eneloops btw, consider using them if you want rechargables).
Filling the mill and replacing the batteries both involve removing the bottom and pulling out the battery holder.At that point you can swap in new batteries or pour in more salt/pepper and put the thing back together.The biggest problem is that you have to flip it over to do this and flipping it over is also what activates the grinding motor.So you have to unlock the bottom cap first then flip it, and reverse that procedure when putting it back together.Or you just have to wipe up a little salt or pepper.Either way, it's never bothered me but it's worth noting.It's also easy to overfill and you can't get it back together if you do, but I only have to pour a little out when I do and everything is fine.
PS - I used to scoff at the idea of a salt mill, thinking "WTF? It's not like salt goes bad or is better when freshly-ground!"Then I started using coarse sea salt regularly and realized that sometimes I needed salt with a finer grind for better texture or faster dissolving.And that's what a salt mill is great for :)
