Unicorn magnum MINUS
The is the easiest pepper grinder to Unfill I have ever set my hands on!! While it is easy to fill and has a great grind, all the good points are nullified when dining area cleanup is required after a user can easily open the filling port during use.The fill port opens in THE SAME TWIST DIRECTION AS GRINDING and is located where fingertips will overlap the grind wheel and just touch the rotating fill port cover. If the next user does not keep the grinder vertical when passing or using, pepper corns will spill and roll in a most inconvenient manner at the worst possible time.I would send the designer to a hell of picking up peppercorns for eternity!

The most prolific mill ...
I always try to buy aesthetically pleasing things (e.g. the Vic Firth stainless salt mill) but sometimes you just have to go with what works -- this works.Actually, it mills so fast that it takes some getting used to but it is worth it ... but it not the prettiest mill ...

AWESOME AWESOME PEPPER MILL
This is the best Pepper Mill I have ever used.It is at a reasonable price.More expensive mills can't even come close to the value of this mill.I am having so much fun making recipes that I can use fresh ground pepper in just to use this mill.I wonder if fresh ground pepper would be good in homemade banana pudding? Just kidding. This pepper mill's cosmetic appearance should be able to go with any decor.I mean come on think basic black.And pepper is what color? black?The mill has a modern look.This mill is worth every penny even if you don't like black in your kitchen. ...

Editorial Review

Oxo Good Grips first earned its considerable reputation by making comfortable-to-use, high-performance kitchen tools, so it's no surprise that this pepper mill feels good in the hand and works like a charm. With its large, soft knob and long arm, the mill grinds peppercorns easily as the handle turns round and round or back and forth. Filling the mill is also easy because the door (made of clear plastic so you can easily check the peppercorn level) opens wide. The mill's large capacity means fewer refills, and the grinding mechanism adjusts for coarse or fine grinding. Finally, Oxo thoughtfully solves the most common problem with peppermills--leaking pepper--by providing a snap-on base for when the mill is not in use. The mill stands 5-1/2 inches high and is made of tough, durable plastic. Oxo makes a large-capacity salt shaker to pair with this mill. Read more

Very, very nice design
For years, I've been using an awkward wooden pepper mill roughly the size and shape of a table leg, a gift from one of my in-laws. The gear finally broke, giving me an excuse to shop for something more ergonomic -- especially since I've developed arthritis in my hands and arms in the past couple of years. This is the easiest pepper machine to operate I've ever used, the long horizontally-rotating arm being very easy on the hands. The large opening for filling means I don't have peppercorns on the floor anymore, nor do I have to shovel them into a tiny hole with the tip of a teaspoon. As other reviewers have noted, it would be nice if it would sit loosely on its lid without the necessity of pulling it off for each use -- but that also means I don't leave a trail of errant pepper between the island and the cooktop. And it took me a few days to discover that you have to press the wheel up into the base to adjust the fineness of the grind (there are no directions), but once I caught on to that, the adjustment seems to stay where I put it -- unlike some other people's experience, apparently. I can only hope this beautifully designed instrument lasts a long, long time.

User Friendly
Although I'm not THAT old, I still have trouble with the ones that have the grinder as part of the barrel.This one is easy to fill, easy to grind.

Best Pepper Mill Ever
I have neuropathy and arthritis in my hands.Like many people I prefer to use a pepper mill but found it very difficult.I do not have strength in my hands and had just about decided I would not be able to use any pepper mill when I saw the Good Grips. I am thrilled with how easy it is to use.My handsdo not cramp and turning the handle is almost effortless.The Good Grips is also a breeze to fill with peppercorns and there is no surprise because you can see when it is almost empty.

Great little grinder.
I'd never even thought of an electric pepper grinder until this came up as a recommendation on Amazon. I bought one based on the reviews. It's the best pepper grinder I've ever owned or used. I, too, recharge batteries, so battery life is not an issue. Still, I've used this at almost every meal for a few weeks and haven't had to change them yet.
So far, so good
This is a great little gadget.I bought it because I was getting tired of grinding pepper when say a recipe called for 2 Tablespoons of fresh ground pepper.It works great and I have retired my old grinder to the cabinet above the stove.

Best rated, and best I've owned!
Absolutely the best peppermill I've owned, and I've been through many! This one is good looking and sturdy, grinds with an easy twist, and you can easily adjust it to the coarse or fine grind that you want.
The perfect peppermill
This pepper mill works flawlessly -- easy to load, easy to use, grinds incredibly well.

Editorial Review

This electric pepper mill has a modern shape that is beautiful to behold and and a superior grinding mechanism that meets the expectations of picky chefs. The mill has a brushed 18/10 stainless steel body with a glass window for monitoring how many peppercorns remain in the chamber. Pressing the button on top of the electric pepper mill commences grinding and pepper output. A lamp at the bottom lights up during grinding so that, even at a dimly lit dining table, you can always see how much pepper is landing on your green salad or salmon fillet. The grinder has a patented carbon steel grinding gear for long-lasting use and a dial on the underside of the mill controls the fineness of the grind (clockwise for fine and counter-clockwise for coarse). A plastic lid covers the grinder opening when the mill is at rest on a table or countertop. The electric pepper mill runs on six AAA batteries (included) and the locking housing cover twists and lifts to expose the battery housing for installation. The battery housing also easily lifts from the base to refill the supply chamber with peppercorns. The grinder is suitable only for peppercorns and no other spices and is covered by a one-year guarantee on electric components and a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism. Read more

• Patented carbon-steel grinding gear for durability
• 18/10 brushed stainless steel with glass peppercorn chamber

Extremely pleased!
We purchased this pepper mill for ourselves. We like it so well, that we are ordering five more for gifts for our kids and friends. We have four other pepper mills and none of them compare to this one.

Great Product!!!
I hesitated to purchase this peppermill after reading some previous posts, but I can honestly say it was one of the best purchases I have made!In fact, my 2 sisters visited from Indiana and I just ordered them each one as a surprise gift when they arrive home.They were extremely impressed with the ease of operation - one handed - just press the button.Easy to fill and very easy to keep looking brand new.All around impressive!

poorly designed on-off control
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. ...

may deserve 5 stars...
solid, well made, cool looking and I think works well.wife doesn't like it because only a small amount of pepper per pump, which is true but I don't think someone would expect large amounts "per pump" from this... certainly good enough for peppering a meal versus cooking.I'm going to buy the salt mill to go with it.four stars because of my wife's opinion and it is a bit pricey...otherwise I'd give it five.

Pump and Grind Pepper Mill
Wonderful pepper mill; absolutely love it - easy to hold in hand, easy to use and the amount that comes out with each pump is perfect.And it looks great, too.We have the salt mill also and just love it, also!

Awesome Grinder
This grinder is great!! I am thoroughly impressed by the quality and design. It feels good in your hand and, in my opinion, is weighted perfectly.

Don't waste your $$$$ - like grinding a duck!
When I ordered this product, it had a 4 star average rating- how that happened is beyond me. Were a zero star rating available, this product wouldn't even deserve the string of uncolored stars!
Poor and Inconsistent Grinding
Unless you love the look of this pepper grinder, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. When compared to a generic grinder, this product produces inferior and very inconsistent grinds. I've gone so far as to grind peppercorns onto a white sheet of paper to look at them. With this grinder you'll always get a huge variation in the grind. Some of the pieces of the peppercorns will be large enough that it would give anyone pause to wonder whether foreign matter had somehow entered the dish. The oval top is quite slippery and when you tighten down the top nut to reduce the grind to something that will prove acceptable, you'll have trouble turning it. Not recommended.

Looks better than it is
Good looking and works well, in dry weather.Very little salt comes out when it's humid.The capacity of this mill is small.

Confusing, but definitely a salt mill
As other users indicated, I, too, was very confused upon opening my new salt mill.The exterior of the box was stamped for a salt mill, but the interior booklet was for their (MIU France's) pepper mill, and at first glance it seemed identical to the pepper mill, which I also have and love.Additionally, it did not come with the "6 included batteries" as the booklet stated, nor the bottom fitted cover that my pepper mill has (to keep stray pepper from falling out).
Excellent product, highly recommended!

This unit arrived and, as the previous reviewer indicated, the manual indicates it is a pepper mill.However, the housing has an S monogram for salt.

Nothing enhances the flavor of food like fresh-ground pepper. This traditional French-made peppermill combines sensuous curves with a precision-made, case-hardened stainless steel grinder for exceptional performance and durability. Simply load the mill with peppercorns, and twist the top for an instant burst of peppery flavor. Its beautifully-crafted body is made from a single piece of walnut-stained hardwood. Rinse the mill with warm water to clean. This item stands eight inches tall and is covered by a lifetime warranty. Read more

Ingenious in design, sleekly modern in appearance, this little salt-and-pepper set is right at hand when needed and takes up only a few square inches of space. That makes it ideal for a desktop as well as individual place settings at a dinner party. Slip the narrow pepper shaker out of its nesting place within the salt shaker's circumference, shake, set down, and then use the larger salt shaker. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Read more

Beatiful and Functional
I am a huge fan of innovation-meets-function and this product is top notch in that regard. I have yet to have a guest miss this interesting piece in my kitchen! It's a bit smaller than I immagined, but just as stunning in design as pictured. The craftsmanship is of very good quality and well worth the price. Don't expect mountains to pour our though. The shakers only dispense a small amount - inconveninet for cooking, but perfect for individual seasoning additions once the meal is set.

I hate coming up with a title
The brushed metal design is very handsome and classy to set on the dining table. These were much smaller than I had expected -- only wished they were bigger as they could also be shown as a more prominent work of functional art. Haven't had problems shaking salt or pepper out of them.

Works Well & Great Conversation Piece!!

Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill, 9"
This is the best peppermill I have ever seen.The ability to make fine adjustments and the volume efficiency of the mill are great features.
One little flaw
Very good mill, but the direction of rotation of the grinder is the same direction as the same as that needed to open the fill port. You can open it and spill if not paying attention, or if too much vino has been consumed.

This is a great pepper mill!

First Class Mill
I have several Vic Firth and a few other brands of salt and pepper mills. I grew up on them so, they are a necessity it seems. These days you will find many types and makes of pepper and salt mills yet, almost all of them "chop" the pepper corns and do not have a setting which will stay put nor grind the pepper as it should.

pepperball + hand cramp + soup = new pepper mill
I agree with all the previous reviews: it's a cute, but largely ineffectual device.It would be fine for a person (say, my mom) who has a pretty kitchen but doesn't use pepper all that much.
Not impressed
I also own both the salt ball and the pepper ball and have to disagree with the previous reviewer; I find both useful at the table but very unhelpful when cooking. The balls are both great when seasoning food, but do not work at all for recipes that require exact amounts. The opening at the bottom of the ball is extremely large, and attempting to direct what is coming out into a teaspoon or tablespoon is worthless- you'll use up all of the pepper before for you get whatever measurement you need.
Not a grindto use
I've got both the salt and pepper balls and find them very convenient to use when cooking but I don't care for them at the table.
