Cuisinart SP-2 Stainless Steel Rechargeable Salt and Pepper Mills

Purchased 2 for gifts- both were defective-returned to Amazon and they replaced 1 unit-this also was defective. Seems to be problem with the charging unit. 1 unit- the charging indicator light stayed red for both mills. 2 units- only 1 of the mills showed green on the charging unit.

Amazon's customer service rep, Jane, has been extremely helpful in trying to get this resolved. I am hoping that this was just a bad lot sent to them and that they can replaced them. My kitchen has many Cusinart products and this is the first time I have had any issue with this manufacture's products.

Right from the box this pepper and salt set worked well. There did seem to be an issue of charging but when I switched sides both units charged accordingly and have never been a problem since.

The handle is ergonomically designed and comfortable to hold and both units have an easy to press button on the top to start the grinding. The base unit is great for storage and makes recharging easy as well as economical, thus saving on tossing batteries into landfills.

I almost didn't order this product based upon another poor review but after seeing a number of good reviews I placed my order. My product had the exact problem of the other poor review. The product cannot hold a charge and the charging lights (which turn green when the product is fully charged) never turned green, even after more than 72 hours of charging. I contacted Amazon and they immediately sent me a replacement product. Unfortunately, the replacement product has the exact same problem - the shakers cannot hold a charge. I don't want to continue with this process so I am returning both orders to Amazon.
