Peugeot - Elis Sense u'Select Electric Salt and Pepper Mill Set - Adjustable Grinders, Battery Powered - Blue LED Light, Stainless Steel, 8-inches

great !!! so worth it.

Like the adjustable grinds; use one for cooking and another for finishing. And one can adjust the pepper seasoning to adjust the grounds further. Battery life ok but one should buy a total replacement of 6 AAA so you always are prepared. The light is handy and one can see the size of the grounds; important on salads and soups. We love it!

I have had several Peugeot salt and pepper grinders over the last 20 years, including the original model, the rechargeable model and now this new touch top model. First, they’re great — but a caveat: they don’t last forever. On average, I’ve had to replace one about every 10 years, and that’s OK.Once you get used to the convenience of using an adjustable electric grinder, it’s hard to ever go back to the manual kind, especially if you do a lot of cooking and you are a big fan of fresh ground spices.So far, this has been my favorite of the three models that I’ve owned, but I almost sent it back. As a veteran owner, I already knew how to take it apart and insert the batteries, fill it with pepper, and put it all back together. (It’s a little tricky — NOT completely intuitive — so if this is the first time you are using a Peugeot electric grinder, read the directions.) However, when I set this one up, it didn’t operate. So I sat down with the instruction booklet and confirmed that I had done everything correctly and it just wasn’t working. Disappointed. I was resigned that I would have to send it back. But I decided to give it one last try by going to the market and replacing the batteries that came with the grinder with new batteries from the store. VOILA!!! Works like a charm. I am thrilled that I don’t have to return it. I’ve read the reviews about machines that stop working prematurely, so I’m hoping this one lasts as long as my others. If it grinds to a halt (no pun intended), I’ll try changing the batteries. On the other hand, we all know Peugeots can be temperamental!

It works well with the pepper and salt included in the set.Also, make sure you know the salt one only works well withdry rock / mineral type of salt ONLY and does not work on wet saltlike what I bought for which is Maldon Salt.With Maldon salt, it does not grind (1-3 will not grind. more coarse levels willallow some salt to pass through but it's way inefficient and slow to use with wet salt)Other than that, the build quality is OK.It could've been better cause I see some plastic part that's not totally cut cleaninside which does not meet the pricing or the premium image this product was giving.It also uses 6 aaa batteries so expect some heavy weight.Other than those minor cons,it functions as intended. They grind whole pepper anddry salt pretty well.The packaging is very well done but I wish they had better quality controland finishing touches on the actual product (the plastic parts).

I canNOT for the life of me figure out how these grinders rate so highly. My experience with them has been nothing but terrible.First, they take six AAA batteries… each. Which is just plain silly. The process to install them isn’t hard, but it’s unnecessarily fiddly and hints at poor engineering and lack of attention to detail.Second, the ergonomics are terrible. The top buttons are actuated with the lightest touch. Which means, unless you pick either grinder up very carefully and don’t touch the top, you’re going to start grinding before you’re ready.Oh, and once you DO grind some salt and pepper… be sure to give the unit a shake after you’re done, because otherwise you’ll be dribbling grinds on your counter or table.Last.. after just a week of use, the salt grinder insisted on dispensing big, rough, uneven chunks of salt regardless of the setting. I tried everything I could think of to rectify this: removed the salt container, looked for a jam, readjusted the grind setting… but I could not restore the salt grinder to proper operation.Given how many another flaws I see in this set, I’m just going to cut my losses (and reduce my annoyance) pitch these in the trash, and get some non-Peugeot manual grinders.Not at all recommended for any purpose.

This item is a more expensive pepper mill and salt mill but so easy to use. Battery Operated. All you do is fill and screw on top then press when you want sale or pepper. You can control the amount you want to dispense on your food. Sharp looking and comes with a little flat stand if you desire to use it. It did not come with great instructions but a quick google search brought up how to set up and use. I really like grinding the salt and pepper.

These grind very well and haven't clogged yet. I bought these to replace much cheaper versions. Those would lock up because they didn't have the ummpph to power through larger peppercorns or salt crystals. If they last a long time they'll be worth the price.

These are the real deal. They are substantially heavier than any of the other brands I tested, and it’s all solid metal through and through.
