Insufficient control of pepper size
By Telstar
This unit works fine.

However, do not expect much control over the granularity of your pepper.

I tested by setting out a white paper towel and setting the grid level using the knob to six different settings.

There is *very* little difference from coarse to fine...and fine contains chunks of pepper.

Addendum

The new shipments do NOT include the six AA batteries.

great device...but
By B. Tesnar
This thing is nice. A good show off item for guest mostly. It does the job well, but our light bulb has burned out in just a few months. So far I cannot find another one (strange bulb).

poorly designed on-off control
By Madoo
I love the speed at which I can grind a lot of pepper with this for preparing large dishes. However, the button often gets stuck in the "on" position, so this is not useful when you need to grind small amounts on an individual dish. In fact, the button often turns on when the mill gets bumped accidentally. I have ground a lot of pepper onto the shelf in my kitchen cupboard! My husband hates this mill, despite his love for pepper.
