Gravity Electric Salt Pepper Grinder - Automatic Battery Powered, Adjustable Coarseness, Blue LED Light, Great Mother’s Day Gift, Premium Quality Electronic Black Pepper Mill (Black, single unit)

I use a lot of pepper and have purchased around a half dozen or so electric grinders, both push-button and gravity-feed styles. I have not been really satisfied with any of them. They either don't grind well, have weak motors and grind slowly, are difficult to adjust, hold too small a quantity or are difficult to refill, or just plain break after a short while. On top of that, the built-in lights on all of them were virtually worthless. I usually removed them to save battery life.As for the Gravity Electric Salt Pepper Grinder - Automatic Battery Powered, Adjustable Grind Coarseness, Blue LED Light, Great Mother's Day Gift, Premium Quality Electronic Black Pepper Mill (Stainless Steel), these are my initial observations, reactions, and opinions:- It is nicely designed and easy to handle- Very easy to fill the generously sized hopper (this has been one of my biggest complaints with other grinders; either they hold too little or are too difficult to refill, or both)- Has a very powerful motor for fast grinding. Great if you need to grind a lot of pepper for a recipe.- Easy to adjust the grind. Haven't used it enough yet to determine if the grind sizes are fine or coarse enough, but initial impression is good- The motor seems as though it is strong enough to actually grind hard peppercorns or coarse salt.- The blue LED seems as though it may actually be useful, although I haven't used it enough yet to really tell, but it looks cool. I do wish the light was white instead of blue, but I can live with it. I just hope the light doesn't drain the batteries too quickly.- The gravity feed seems to work well, so it is easy to operate- Hopefully the AAA batteries will last a while, but this is a minor issue. I buy my batteries in bulk, so cost is not a major concern.The bottom line is that I believe I have finally found the pepper grinder I have spent years and lots of dollars looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.Additionally, I am an Amazon Prime member; I purchased the grinder at 11:30 AM and received it by 5:15 PM the same day, so couldn't be happier with the delivery. Amazon is pretty amazing in their ability to do that. I'm lucky that Indianapolis is one of their hub cities. (Can't wait to receive a delivery via drone one day.)

I have just received these salt and pepper grinders.- First - These take 6x AAA batteries, not AA as someone else mentioned.- They are slightly shorter than the normal tall battery operated grinders I have purchased previously, but they are also a little wider.- They have a very generous hopper for pepper/salt, much larger than most other grinders which I really like. It probably holds 3-4x the amount as the Russell Hobbs I previously purchased.- Once the batteries were put in everything was up and running as expected, no surprises, much easier to fill than previous models I've used, and very simple to put in batteries.While it is still early, everything appears to be working exactly as advertised. I may update my review later, but I don't see any negatives at this point, and they have made several improvements which I think make this a much better option to the normal grinders where you have to remove the motor in order to get to the hopper.This is basically a 3 piece design...- Case (this is the top part)- Grinder (this is the middle part and where the batteries go as well)- Hopper (this is the bottom part.Unlike most other brands I have tried you can access the hopper directly without having to separate the case and grinder. Simply unscrew the jar at the bottom and fill it. And then when replacing the batteries you can do so without having to expose your hopper either, simply remove the case, insert the batteries, and put the case back on.

This thing works great. I got another grinder as a gift and it was terrible. It would take forever to grind out the pepper and you could not select the coarseness of the grind. Now this baby puts out a beautiful courser grind on the medium setting in a matter of seconds. it holds a ton of pepper corns. In fact I only filled it up half way or my store container would be emptied.It has ceramic grinding wheels, which I think makes a big difference. The light is nice but I don't cook much in the dark, so I can't give much of a review on the light. Just that it works. I also can't say much about the coarseness adjustment because I set it to medium and the coarseness was perfect. Never touched it again. I bought this because I usually have one hand into my food and only one hand free. This thing fills the bill. I have used many hand grinding pepper mills over the years and this is right up there with the best. The hand grinder mills don't come with lights and that has never been an issue. Don't spend another penny more for a more expensive electric grinder. This thing is perfect unless the more expensive grinders have a spot light on them or plays music or something.
