Ebaco Salt Pepper Grinder Set Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "Good salt grinder for the price. Lasted nearly three years from regular use!"
• "This product lasted a couple of years."
• "I've had this for 3 months now. It's hasn't broke!!! It still works!!!"
• "Used almost daily for two years before it finally broke. Good little grinder."
• "Worked great for two years."
• "This grinder holds a lot of peppercorns and grinds flawlessly."
• "Worked well for five months until it broke."

Cons:

• "The top stainless band now slips and does not turn with the black plastic grinder mechanism...hence, it no longer grinds the pepper!"
• "A plastic retaining ring on the grinder broke off and now the item is useless."
• "The inner black plastic grinding mechanism separated from the stainless outer grip making it impossible to grind salt anymore."
• "The black base became detached from the silver metal part. So it no longer grinds properly."
• "The black plastic ring fell out in the frying pan."
• "Been using this for about 12-13 days. Broke on the 13th day."
• "The glass shattered because peppers keep getting stuck in the grind area."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Seems to be free of any cheap plastic parts. Mostly glass and stainless looking metal."
• "Great looking, works well, and solid in your hands."
• "It works just fine. Looks nice."
• "It is nice to have the option of a larger or smaller size of grain."
• "This product may not have that rustic design some may be looking for, but it's sleek glass and stainless steel design can still fit in to the decor of any kitchen."
• "The size is perfect. stylish & sleek design! Fits nicely in my hand and the cover snaps on securely."
• "Likes: good-looking, nice heft, feel good in the hand, and––when they work–– they work well."

Cons:

• "Might as well just pour preground pepper into a shaker."
• "No country of origin listed anywhere, made with plastic, is it bpa free, who knows!"
• "The silver grinder sleeve separated from whatever it's meant to be glued to and just spun without turning the mill after only three turns."
• "The sheath around the neck has not stayed fixed and slides now when turning the grinder."
• "The ring you hold and twist slips and is loose."
• "on both my grinders the brushed-metal sleeve––the part you grip to make the grinding action––on both grinders the metal sleeve was not secured to the plastic structure underneath."
• "The poor part of design is the parts holding grinder inside are plastic and gave out/broke after 2 1/2 years."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Turn the dial to adjust the coarseness to your desired grind. Simple to use and I love it!"
• "Your variable size grinder was perfect to get the salt down to the size I needed."
• "The adjustment dial works great in allowing you to find the desired fineness/coarseness of the salt."
• "Easy to fill, large capacity, easy to adjust the size of the grind, and it doesn't take-up too much space."
• "This little grinder works perfectly."
• "The control for grind size actually works."
• "It is easy to hold."

Cons:

• "I bought this because I bought some nice peppercorns but it just did not grind very well."
• "The adjustment part turns but the grinding does not change. It is way finer than we want."
• "It was fine at first but when it’s set to course, the salt gets stuck and then you can’t use it on any other setting."
• "It’s somewhat hard to adjust the grind, still too fine for my preference."
• "I don't know if I'm just a super aggressive grinder of salt or what. But there's a little plastic piece that fell out of the center."
• "If you like the taste of plastic bits, this is the product is for you."
• "The salt dispenser stopped being able to change coarseness of the salt grind."
