Perfex 4-1/2-Inch Pepper Mill

Without a doubt, this is the best mill in the collection of pepper mills that I own.

Yes, it is pricey - especially for the small size and, thus, capacity of the grinder. So what? The grinding mechanism is fully adjustable (on the bottom, not the top) and it absolutely "rains" pepper onto whatever you wish. You can empty the entire mill in a few minutes; it is that efficient. The fill chute beats most of the "top-loader" types in terms of ease of use.

I also have big hands (more than an octave spread) and have no problems using this pepper mill. I use this one for black pepper and a William Bounds for white pepper.

I have had mine for over 30 years.
I value it because it grinds very fine or very coarse, as needed.
The aluminum is easy to hold and easy to keep clean.
The size is great for easy, rapid grinding.
It has been worth its price to me many times over.

I received the Perfex 4-1/2 Inch Pepper Mill with no paperwork or written material regarding the product and, at the price paid for the item, found it less than satisfactory as a grinder compared to others at a lower price. The fact that is made of solid aluminum may justify the price since it may last longer than other grinders but that said, you can buy 2 or 3 other brand grinders that would perform as well or better than this product.
Also, the size is too small for handling (I have large hands) and find that turning the handle for grinding awkward and at times, just plain difficult. Also, the grinding mechanism is not as smooth as I would have imagined and catches and more force than necessary (I feel) must be used to turn the handle.
Overall, this product was not what I had imagined to be and would not recommend buying it at such a high price. There are other satisfactory pepper grinders available that would suffice in everyday kitchen and cooking use.
