This review is from: Peugeot PM14018 Nancy 7 Inch Salt Mill, Acrylic (Kitchen)
This item seems to work with the salt that comes in it - it isn't very coarse. But, as mentioned by another reviewer (that I should have read first!) it doesn't work on Pink Himalyan. The product directions packed with the product, but not mentioned online, list a lot of things including Pink salt that it should not be used with.
The quality doesn't seem to me to be as advertised because there is very little selection possible on the fineness of the salt when grinding it - even with the salt that accompanied the unit. It will not grind as coarsely as common table sale, for example. Virtually no adjustment to the coarseness of the grind.
For me, this item proved to be useless. If you get it - be certain to use nothing larger than a medium sized salt in it - coarse just won't work.
We love this mill.,

This mill is made in France and very well made. Actually we own a pepper mill from the same manufacturer - Peugeot. Yes, the design is old but it works. Many here seem to complain the design, but in years of using the pepper mill, which is the same as this one, we got no complaints. Looks beautiful and always works. The control is simple yet functional and the materials used are top quality. Yes, there are lots of cuter ones but most of them are made in China and low quality materials. For health reasons, we try to avoid any items that come from third World places.
Another Good Product,

Once again they produce a good solid product and it does what it should and searching online you can find a bargain as in stores these products can be pricey.
