Cuisinart Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set Rechargeable Seasoning Mill No Batteries needed, 20 min charging Measuring cap Adjustable Grind settings 3 year guarantee Frosted Pearl

Great bit of kit. Easy to use and charge. All in one save space and looks cool on the worktop👍

I bought this to replace two battery ones, they still work but use 6 batteries each. This one has good and bad reviews, I decided to try it, and wanted the stainless steel one although it cost more. Straight out of the box when I pressed the button I heard it and saw it working just briefly, that was the only time it worked sadly. I read the instructions, hand washed the containers and air dried them, filled both ends (very easy to fill) assembled and put it on to charge overnight (charge for 12 hours the instructions say). Then I unplugged it, although the instructions advise to keep it plugged in. I don't need to use it often, mostly when I have family visiting. A couple of days later I decided to try it, it didn't do anything. I plugged the stand back in and put it on, red light. Let it charge again to green, tried it - nothing, no sound or action. Then every time I took it off the charging stand, green light shining, it not only didn't do anything but as soon as it was returned to the stand the light changed to red. It isn't holding any charge at all. I even tried shaking it in case it had jammed, even though it hasn't ground anything or made a sound since I filled and charged it, still nothing at all. I am going to return it and get my £44 back, I didn't want to talk to Cuisinart first as suggested. I will not purchase another one and I can't recommend it.

There have been some really mixed reviews about this product. I had the battery mills years ago but they took lots of batteries and they always seemed to run out at a crucial moment. I really like that this is one single unit, the motor is in the middle and runs both ends so depending which way up you turn it the salt or pepper will come out. You can adjust the grind, it doesn't grind as fine as some hand mills but it is fine enough for cooking and garnishing. The charging unit is great and the grinder fits well and engages with the charging point easily so no fiddling around. As it's new I can't comment on the battery life. People have complained about the mech jamming with peppercorns, this hasn't happened to me but I would recommend using fresh pepper, some older pepper corns can be rock hard, this doesn't have a metal grinding unit so it will struggle with very hard peppercorns. Very happy so far! Update 16/03/2024 excellent. 4 years on and works like a charm. Holds charge for about a month. Highly recommended.

Stylish good battery life, only issue you have is visitors try to twist to dispense pepper or salt which causes chambers to open an drop contents, rather than pressing button to operate. Once used to no problem. Good bringing quality.

Really pleased with the performance of this grinder so far. It arrived nice and quickly, and was easy to set up. I hand-washed and dried the individual salt and pepper chambers with warm soapy water before filling them with salt and pepper. But it is important to make sure that moisture never touches the middle of the device where the motor and rechargeable battery are. There is only one button, and it controls a central motor that spins both the grinders when pressed, (there is a grinder at each end, at the far-end of each chamber). However, because of gravity, only the contents of whichever chamber happens to be the bottom chamber at that moment, will touch its respective grinder, and get ground up and dropped onto your food. I use telicherry peppercorns in the pepper-half, and regular table salt in the salt-half. The peppercorns are bigger than the salt flakes and so take longer to grind up. But it is lovely not having to grind manually anymore! The instruction manual was very clear too, and contained handy advice about how to dislodge trapped peppercorns. (I have not had to dislodge any peppercorns yet.) The device displays a red light when charging, and a blue light when fully charged. I've found that if the grinder is fully charged, and you grind for about 30 seconds, the device will require about 5-10 minutes of charging to go back to fully charged. I do not know how long it would take to drain the battery entirely. The device will arrive without any charge and so must be charged before using for the first time. Overall, I definitely recommend this product. It is great quality.

I have no idea how this is as the one I received arrived just now and I was looking forward to using it but it’s used with fingerprints inside the compartment and scratches. There were 2 parts missing too - also read a review saying needs charging before use as it arrives dead well I pressed the button and has charge again confirming it’s used although the dust and fingerprints did that already. I’ve arranged a return and was about to reorder but the price has gone up so disappointing. If I manage to order soon again at the same price then I will review it properly. **update** So I did get it again for the same price. Not sure what’s going on but I had to return it as when it came charging it didn’t sit flush in order to charge. Needed to fiddle about so I did but once the red light came on I walked away for a minute and I saw the red light just disappear. I checked because I’m sure it was supposed to turn blue if charged even so I fiddled with it and it started charging so definitely was a charging fault. Anyway a shame I didn’t get to use it as I hoped and obviously I sent it back. Will be looking at others in the meantime but I am disappointed as I’ve not had one in ages for the hopes of getting a 2 in 1 to save worktop space.

Bought this a second time as we drop and broke the last one!

Does not work at all. Battery must be old and cannot be charged. Unit is totally useless for us.

Great find! I’ve been looking for this & considered other options. This one looking the most promising. When I received it, it was even better than the pictures! Plus, it’s easy to use, fast and quick and very quite too.

Die Idee von dem Gerät ist gut und es sieht wertig aus. Problem ist allerdings das der Motor zu schwach ist und sogar bei vollgeladenem Akku die Mühle manchmal einfach steht. Der 220V Anschluß ist ein englischer Stecker und man braucht einen Adapter auf EU-Stecker. Fazit: In meinen Augen das Geld nicht wert.

I am rather unhappy with this purchase, when i got it in June I tried it out and it worked well so I set it in its home base to fully recharge. As I still had some salt and pepper in my old (IKEA) devises I used those for the first 2 -3 weeks after which I started using the new machine and now after using it just a few weeks one side already does not grind any more. At first i thought is was the salt I was using so I changed that but it still does not work ! I am not sure if there is still any warranty on this product , kindly let me know. Thanks, Ido Bakker
