CIRCLE JOY Gravity Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set Automatic Salt and Pepper Grinder Set with LED Light, Battery Operated, Adjustable Coarseness, Large Capacity, for Home…

Ok, when I first unboxed it, I honestly thought I’d received a defective unit until I figured out there’s a VERY small rubber stopper placed to keep it from turning on during shipping. (There’s nothing in the directions that tells you that.) What I do like about it: The fact that it dispenses pepper as soon as you flip it and the fairly large and easy to fill clear plastic cup – which also lets you see exactly when to refill. The advantage to top-dispensing units is that when you’re done, you don’t have the last grinds of pepper all over your table/countertop (unlike my last bottom dispensing model). I’m not seeing a huge difference in grind size but I’ve only played with that part moderately.

Durability is still a question since I’ve only had it a short while but honestly, at this price point, if it lasts a couple of years I’ll be satisfied. Easy to charge, seems to go quite awhile with a single charge.

Overall, with my experience so far, I’d definitely recommend it.

Works great

They work well as of now, after 2 weeks of use, does not seem to break, grinds well, has a variety of grinding size options, looks like the picture, did not yet try to clean but seems like it would be easy to clean the glass part, might be a task to clean the plastic and metal insides.

I have bought six sets of two of these grinders in the past 8-10 years from Amazon. I have three separate locations and have had the same problems in every kitchen. I like the look and the operation of these grinders. They have expanded the finishes offered lately but I have always gotten the brushed silver which wears well and always looks good. The blue led lights look and work fine too. Fortunately, a set gives two identical grinder units (salt and pepper are the same). The clear plastic reservoir at the bottom allows you to see when to refill and it never breaks. The ONLY problem with these grinders is that the salt grinder (never the pepper) eventually corrodes and freezes and no longer works. Also, the salt gets into the battery compartment and the contacts corrode and prevent the electrical connections. I have disassembled non-functioning units and found salt completely encasing the works. It usually takes a year or two of use for the salt grinder to stop working. So, I’ve bought other sets so that then I have TWO new salt grinders to match my long-functioning pepper grinder. I guess it’s understandable that salt is so damaging that any metal will get corroded regardless. However it seems to me that if there could be some way to isolate the batteries and the inside works from the salt dust with rubber “O” rings or such, the units would work longer (like the pepper). So, I give only 4 stars because of this design fault. Lastly, the newest set that I’ve just received came with a change that seems to compromise the power of the grinder. They changed from SIX AAA batteries(old) to FOUR AAA’s(new). The four-battery grinder works harder but not better. Seems weaker grinding. So next time I may have to downgrade to 3 stars. Obviously, I like these grinders and they aren’t very expensive so just consider them semi-disposable and order extras like I have.

I gave 4 as gifts and they were thrilled with them. I kept one set for myself. They are elegant and work great. I found it difficult to open the battery compartments and had to use a jar opener on them but that was the only issue. I like the adjustment for the grind size. Great value for the money and a great gift

It’s so easy to use and add a little joy while cooking/eating. I originally bought the set for a gift but I had to buy them again for myself! The only negative point is that it doesn’t tell you which way to turn the knob to make grinding finer or coarser but that’s only a very minor issue. Seem solidly built, look smart, good value for money. What not to like?

4 triple A batteries are needed for each shaker. Easy to install and easy to fill with salt and peppercorns. Size of salt and pepper granules with a twist Tip over and a light shines on your food while the S&P comes out. Lightweight and easy to use while cooking. They also look nice on the table
