Amazon.com Review
Vic Firth's elegant stainless-steel Pump and Grind salt mill works with just one hand. A large button on the top of the mill is pushed with the thumb to operate the grinding mechanism, making the mill a snap to grab in order to salt a dish while stirring with the other hand. Producing freshly ground salt ranging from coarse to fine, the grinding mechanism works effortlessly and removes for easy cleaning.
Six inches tall and quite slim, the Pump and Grind features a patented viewing window for distinguishing the salt mill from its matching pepper mill counterpart, and for viewing the level of salt crystals in order to prevent a shortage at a crucial moment. Vic Firth salt mills are fitted with nylon mechanisms, while those on the pepper mills are stainless-steel. Vic Firth backs the long-lasting mill with a lifetime guarantee. --Ann Bieri

Summary: It works the same for pepper!! 2010-05-18
Comment: I ordered this from Amazon and thought I had ordered the pepper version. When I recieved the salt version, I got a little worried thinking that the mechanisms might be different as they are on some of the other Vic Firth Grinders (ceramic vs. Metal etc..). I called Vic Firth and found out that in this case the only difference is what they come filled with. So I emptied the salt when it arrived and filled it with pepper... Just so you know.
Other than the window kind of cheapening the look a bit. I don't think there are any better inexpensive travel options. Nice product that feels like it will last a lifetime.

Summary: What a star product 2010-02-01
Comment: I love this salt mill. With the moisture issues solved and only a small quantity in use at any one time, this is perfect for me. I like the one-handed use which is ideal when I cook. In addition, the stainless steel grinding mechanism ensures it always works well. The bonus is the visual delight of seeing it sitting on the table! It looks very modern and matches the modern table settings effortlessly. I also bought the pepper mill.

Summary: Works well but comes with a little surprise 2009-08-24
Comment: This appears to be a high quality pump style grinder however, when I received the product, I was surprised to find that it had a large black logo of a grill manufacturer on the side of it. I used a rubbing compound and LOTS of elbow grease and was finally able to get it off. I also had to return one as the top of the pump handle broke off after just a couple of uses. I had no problems with the exchange. Otherwise the product works well and looks great!

Summary: Looks and works cool, but a piece of junk 2009-07-07
Comment: Stylish, worked well at first, handling dry, coarse salt. Within a few months, it began to come apart regularly, just falls apart, dumping the contents of salt on your plate! Disappointing.
