Grinder Quality

Pros:

  • "These are nicely made salt and pepper grinders that have thick glass bodies and an adjustable coarseness control at the grinding point."
  • "They are solid and feel like really good quality - the glass is thick and strong and the grinding mechanism works exactly as it should."
  • "These grinders are great quality, look good, and I expect that they will last a long time."
  • "They are quality built, perfect for your hands to hold and grind."
  • "These are high quality glass and have some weight to them."
  • "It is made of a high quality BPA free thick glass."
  • "They are not the plastic that breaks on other shakers."

Cons:

  • "The Glass on these is only half as thick as my other Grinder Jars."
  • "This wasn't ever a very good grinder, and the adjustability was not accurate or consistent."
  • "The grind mechanism isn't as smooth as my other grinders."
  • "Not impressed, the glue holding the stainless to the plastic came separated after less than a year."
  • "The ceramic burr is prone to breakage and shattered into multiple pieces."
  • "The inside of the top also corroded and went rusty."
  • "The metal band that attaches to the jar does not seem very secure."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

  • "They have a nice modern look without trying to be too cute or fancy."
  • "They look good sitting out on my kitchen counter."
  • "The coppery color of the tops makes for a pleasant accent compared to the clear base."
  • "This sleek salt or pepper grinder is made of steel and heavy glass and looks good in any setting."
  • "They look great on my countertop."
  • "Very nice to have on the table. They are attractive."
  • "The copper top is an elegant touch that also includes a cap to prevent moisture from getting inside."

Cons:

  • "I felt mislead all the same by the imagery used with the product."
  • "This set is fine, but wasn't as nice as I expected."
  • "The gold finish does not look that great, I would not get it again in that color."
  • "The glass was not clear, had imperfections including a long strip of like kind of a dent in the glass."
  • "All the photographs show salt and pepper included in the containers, however when they were arrived, the containers were empty."
  • "The copper color has a very attractive brushed metal look."
  • "Seems fine, apart from the broken glass inside - be sure to check and wash before you fill and use or you could be grinding glass on your dinner."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

  • "This grinder is so easy to use. It is just the right size, not too big not too small."
  • "The grinder is easy to turn if you have wrist or hand problems."
  • "These two are easy to turn and easy to adjust the grind size."
  • "It’s wonderful works and looks great, easy to fill with funnel provided."
  • "They're also easy to fill with the helpful funnel that's included."
  • "They are easy to disassemble and clean."
  • "This product is very easy to use. The top is easy to pop open and sides easy to grip when turning. Dispenses with no resistance and with just the right amount of pepper that I need without making a mess. I'm happy with this purchase."

Cons:

  • "Particles of the salt & pepper stay at the sight of the grind mechanism after use."
  • "I was disappointed that one of the grinders broke after just a few short months of use though."
  • "Unfortunately, the replacement has already broken in less than a year. It looks like quality has gone down since we purchased the first set."
  • "If you want a finer grind on your pepper, it's really hard to turn the handle and it hurts my hand to grind a lot."
  • "I tried to use this to grind some pepper... the thin metal-textured band on the screw-on section of the mill head partially slid off while fastening to the container and caused a severe cut on my finger."
  • "Look great, but doesn’t grind. No matter how much I adjust the dial. They do not consistently grind."
  • "The adjustment on the grind-size isn't particularly effective and the dial doesn't work very well."
