MIU France Stainless Steel Battery Operated Electric Salt Mill with Light

 (27 customer reviews)

As other users indicated, I, too, was very confused upon opening my new salt mill. The exterior of the box was stamped for a salt mill, but the interior booklet was for their (MIU France's) pepper mill, and at first glance it seemed identical to the pepper mill, which I also have and love. Additionally, it did not come with the "6 included batteries" as the booklet stated, nor the bottom fitted cover that my pepper mill has (to keep stray pepper from falling out).

Curious and a little frustrated, I sat down and compared the two. I saw no "S" anywhere on it as another user stated.

It is beautifully made but when I got it my salt mill according to thr literature is supposed to be a pepper mill and it says not to be used for salt at all - very confusing. Also the light does not work anymore because SALT corroded the contacts. Crappy design.

This unit arrived and, as the previous reviewer indicated, the manual indicates it is a pepper mill. However, the housing has an S monogram for salt.

This has a lifetime guarantee but there is no phone or address for the company at all.

It turns out that this is a company in China with no connection or origin at all to France!
