Trudeau Elite Graviti Pepper Mill, Stainless Steel Finish

I would only point out two real flaws in this item.

1) It uses 6 AAA batteries. 6 is a weird number. You can't get 6-packs of batteries, and chargers generally handle 4 or 8 AAAs. Also AAAs are far more expensive than AAs for the power. A power pack for these which used 4 AAs would have been much better all around.

2) It does not mark or indicate the grind size in any way. You have to either eye the separation of the grind gap, or grind a bit, then adjust.

I would also say that it takes a moment to see how to load this thing (or change the batteries) without grinding some pepper - the trick is not to tighten the bottom on until you turn it back right-side-up. This isn't really a problem, though.

Overall though, these are great, and certainly worth the money.

Also, this "Elite" version is worth the extra money over the non-"Elite" one.

I love this pepper mill. However, I do not reccommend dropping it in a pot of water! My first one did not survive it. :D But the quality is great, I love that it is one you flip over since the mills that have the pepper coming out from the bottom leave pepper on the counter.

I have many pepper grinders, including other battery powered ones, but this one is by far the best.
I love that there is no discharge from the bottom of the grinder as this means it is much cleaner and I don't have to have an extra small dish on the counter to keep the bottom from being contaminated by whatever is on the counter. I am a constantly wiping down and cleaning my counters and it is annoying to have to move the grinders and the saucers in which they sit each time.
I purchased one of these for a Christmas gift for my best friends and they love it too.
I plan on buying additional ones for my "fancy" peppers but first wanted to be sure the grinder would handle the different sized peppercorns. It does just fine except with long pepper which has to be broken in pieces before going into the grinder but it is not a big problem for me.
So far the battery life is better than in other grinders I have.
