"Not bad"
Maybe I was expecting a little more. The clear plastic body is not 100% rigid, the chromed metal parts seem to be zinc or pot metal and are not crisply cast. You would think the handle would have an actual rotating knob, but it is all one piece.

The top ring rotates for settings fine, medium and coarse. This is a nice feature, better than the usual inaccurate knob-tightening control on most grinders. However, it sometimes rotates around to different settings as you are grinding, so you have to pay attention. This is not really a big problem or anything, but it shouldn't happen.

It is pretty small and the crank is not so long. You don't have that much leverage. This makes grinding a little jerky and perhaps a touch difficult for weak people.

You do get some colorful peppercorns, not cheap at stores these days, and it doesn't seem as though its shortcomings will cause it to break.

Its actual purpose in life is to crush pepper and it does that quite well. Perhaps the larger models would be better for some people, but I like this style and size for my kitchen.

"Simple but nice"
Wider than it looks, this pepper mill holds a good 2-3 oz. of peppercorns and puts out a fine stream of ground pepper with very little effort. My wife and I got tired of twisting a round grinder top. The style is OK, if uninspired, and if results are what you want in the kitchen, this clear acrylic and chrome grinder does a good job. With similar pepper bulk/pound costing $12+, a grinder full of gourmet pepper is a nice find.

"This one does the job."
We could not find a pepper mill anywhere that we liked. Some "cute" style pepper mills just did not work. This does the job very well and also allows for three variable grinds: fine, medium, and coarse. I love fresh ground pepper and this mill works very well.

"Finally!!!"
Finally found a great pepper grinder which is inexpensive, cute and works like a charm! Very pleased with the product, especially after having bought so many DUDS. You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find a good pepper grinder! Very pleased with the product.

"Love it!"
See I love this little grinder. It really is so helpful when I am cooking... opposed to constantly twisting. I also love the fine, course, medium setting. I did not have any problem with the knob on the top becoming loose. I also love the crushing mechanism rather than the conventional grinding that comes with others. I wish it was cheaper so that I could get a salt one as well. Come on Amazon.. sell the salt mill.
