   Now that I’ve used the pepper grinder for a few weeks I thought I’d offer my thoughts on the product.Overall, the product works well and grinds the pepper without any trouble. While not a connoisseur of cracked peppercorns, the ground pepper seems about the right size and is produced quickly and easily. The peppercorn compartment is big, easy to fill and easy to see. Although others see that others had problems putting in the batteries, I didn’t experience any issues and don’t know what the fuss is about.My only product complaint is that the blue LED light is pretty weak. Since it’s gravity operated, the light is almost always at an angle (since I’m rotating it upside down to dispense pepper) so it doesn’t light up where the pepper is going. By the time you’ve got the light pointed anywhere you want, you’ve already dispensed too much pepper. Not really a big deal but if you’re a cook a better light might be a plus.My real issue (no fault of the manufacturer) is that I wish I’d bought a push button dispenser. You’d still be able to use one hand and it seems easier to hold the dispenser over the spot where I wanted to put my pepper and then press a button. The tilting seems to kick pepper around and often off the plate. Also, the grinder turns on momentarily when it is knocked on its side (which happens more often than I ever thought it would.But…if you want a gravity design then I can’t imagine that any models out there would be much superior to this solid performer and I’d end my search here given the high capacity/easy to see peppercorn canister and the quality of the grinder.Haven’t tried it on salt, FWIW.

   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.)

   My cousin and I regularly make Italian sausage and the recipe calls for 1 ounce of ground pepper per batch. We always grind fresh pepper and it’s a chore to grind 2 ounces. He mentioned that Alton Brown uses a battery powered mill so I ordered two of these: one for each of us. They arrived February 1st. He uses his every day and has had no problems with it. I keep mine at my home in the country and use it only on weekends. My unit arrived with no batteries and his had 6 Rayovac batteries installed in the unit. Go figure! Maybe his was a demo model.This past Friday, March 15th I used it preparing dinner and the next morning it was DOA. I remember reading the 1 Star reviews and seeing the pictures of the corrosion on the battery contacts so I unscrewed the top and sure enough the contact was corroded. Surprised me as it was only 6 weeks old. I immediately noticed the poor construction of the contacts. If you look at the picture you can see how the rings that connect the contacts are split open. This is by design. Really poor design and cheap construction. I cleaned the contacts with vinegar on a Q-Tip and there were many fine tits or splinters of metal protruding up from those splits that kept snagging the Q-Tip. I smoothed them down with an emery board and finished the cleaning, then cleaned the vinegar off with water on the Q-Tip and then a quick drying with my hair dryer. A thin film of petroleum jelly was spread on the contacts to protect them from further corrosion. I put the battery compartment back on the unit and it worked fine.Those tits or splinters that I mentioned can cause a small trickle drain of the batteries which can start the corrosion forming. A better design for the pepper mill would be to have form-pressed contacts (see the additional picture.)I like a lot of things about the pepper mill; the attractive design, adjustable coarseness settings, acrylic window to see the amount of pepper and the top push button to activate it. However, it lacks in producing a consistent grind on any of the settings. The fine setting doesn’t produce a consistent grind as does my manual grinder. In fact, all of the settings produce a mixture of grinds which are more sliced than ground especially on the coarser grinds. The unit also has an “Off” setting even though the unit automatically turns off after releasing the pressure button on top. I will now be turning my unit to the “Off” position after each use to ensure that there is no trickle current draw going through the unit when not in use.
