 Excellent October 4, 2009
K. Carr
I almost threw this pepper mill away in the beginning. I found that with the six NEW batteries that were installed, one was apparently defective. When I replaced all six again just to see what would happen before I trashed it, SUCCESS. I have found it to be a wonderful product that is very efficient in providing an excellent quantity of pepper with no jamming.
 broken in four months September 6, 2009

This grinder has several flaws. It only went three months before I had to replace the batteries. It is difficult to adjust the grind and have a consistent size grind.
Now it has quit grinding the shaft that turns the grinder has come loose and just spins. I am waiting to see how the warrenty is taken care of.
4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, but could be better. May 28, 2009

First, let me point out that this is EXACTLY the same item as the salt grinder version. It just comes pre-loaded with stale pepper, instead of with a separate back of salt (so, get the other one, since salt doesn't go bad, and it's free).
I would only point out two real flaws in this item.
1) It uses 6 AAA batteries. 6 is a weird number. You can't get 6-packs of batteries, and chargers generally handle 4 or 8 AAAs. Also AAAs are far more expensive than AAs for the power. A power pack for these which used 4 AAs would have been much better all around.
2) It does not mark or indicate the grind size in any way. You have to either eye the separation of the grind gap, or grind a bit, then adjust.
I would also say that it takes a moment to see how to load this thing (or change the batteries) without grinding some pepper - the trick is not to tighten the bottom on until you turn it back right-side-up. This isn't really a problem, though.
Overall though, these are great, and certainly worth the money.
Also, this "Elite" version is worth the extra money over the non-"Elite" one.
Quality Grinder, Easy to Use December 31, 2008
K.S. (WA USA)
This is an excellent product! I've had several mills (Peugeot, William Bounds, and Kirkland Costco built-in grinders), but this is by far the easiest to use. It allows for one-handed operation and would be ideal for anyone with weaker wrists, arthritis, or Carpal Tunnel. When you're in the middle of cooking something, just tilt the mill over and get exactly the grind size and quantity you need. The only disadvantage is that it takes 6 batteries (not included). I have been using this for a couple months and haven't had to change the batteries yet, so I cannot fairly comment on how frequently the batteries will need replacement. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking, and I would consider giving this as a gift because I know any recipient would love it too.
