Smooth operation, easy to choose size, and it's wonderful to have a pepper grinder that can grind a good amount of pepper in less than 5 business days.
I bought these grinders based on the recommendations of Americas Test Kitchen and I am glad I did. These grinders are excellent. To the reviewers complaining about the grinders leaving a lot of excess salt and pepper after grinding and the grind adjusters being hard to adjust, they have not taken the time to consider how the mechanism works. In both cases, turning the knobs on the grinders in the opposite direction of grinding releases most of the excess salt and pepper and the reverse motion also unloads the tension from the grind mechanism which will then allow for easy adjustment of the grind setting.
I purchased this salt and pepper mill approximately 10 years ago. I absolutely love it and use it often. It is absolutely beautiful and I love having the various grind settings.
Great pair of modern stainless steel salt and pepper mills. Very pretty and functional. Was tired of my battery operated ones always breaking and purchased these. I love that I can adjust the coarseness of both the salt and pepper.
