Our handsome and oh-so-functional mill is a great alternative to manual grinders, which can be hard for some people to twist. Simply push the button to start the grinding process. A small light illuminates the bottom of the mill so that you can see exactly how much is being dispensed. Use with coarse sea salt and/or whole peppercorns only. Salt and peppercorns must be purchased separately. Requires 6 AAA batteries, not included.
Product Features Brushed 18/10 stainless-steel mill with battery-powered one-touch grinding Illuminated bottom for more accurate salt and pepper dispensing Clear acrylic window for viewing salt or peppercorns Instruction booklet Perfect for kitchen or dining table

Summary: Never Used, Wrong Instructions 2010-02-01
Comment: Purchased for my wife, needed one with ceramic grinding for wet sea salt. Product had the wrong instructions included, called Amazon & got a replacement-same problem. As we wanted to be sure this would work for Sea salt & directions were for Peppermill & cleaning/care instructions appeared to be very specific, we returned it also. Disappointed in this buying experience from Amazon. But glad
we didn't keep it as we found out it probably wouldn't have worked for true Sea salt which is damp & would get clogged up in the grinding mechanism. also wasn't crazy about the fact it took 6 AAA batteries to power.

Comment: I have had a salt mill the same as this one. I bought it for a gift for my granddaughter. She has always wanted one. She uses it everyday, she loves it.

Summary: Love the electric salt & pepper grinders! 2010-01-17
Comment: These salt & pepper grinders are amazing! I originally bought the pepper mill, and have been very happy with that and thus bought the salt mill as well!
Here is why I like them:
1. Can be operated with only one hand (real reason why I bought them)
2. Look nice
3. As it grinds, the mill will shine a light onto the dish that you're grinding pepper/salt into
4. Stores a lot, so you don't have to refill frequently.
Downsides:
the only downside that I can think of is that the refilling & battery replacement is a 2-handed operation. Other than that, it's awesome.

Summary: Mediocre 2009-06-27
Comment: Very little grind adjustment. It completely failed after about a year. Since then I have discovered that Cook's Illustrated won't suggest any electric mill. Perhaps as us "Baby Boomers" get older and develop arthritis someone will build a really good electric pepper grinder.
