Trudeau Graviti Battery-Operated Pepper Mill, Black
Amazon.com Review
As its name implies, the Graviti battery-operated pepper mill from Trudeau leans heavily on the laws of physics for its function and appeal. A sleek and amusing gadget that also makes great ground pepper, the piece turns on automatically when flipped upside down. This saves grinding effort, of course, but it is also useful for the stirring cook who only has one free hand to add spice, not to mention that it serves as a fun conversation starter. To ensure that the Graviti is not mere gimmickry, Trudeau equips it with a durable and efficient ceramic grinder, and a finely tunable knob for adjusting coarseness. The grinder works well for both pepper and sea salt and arrives filled with gourmet peppercorns. It washes up by hand, runs on 6 AAA batteries, and stands 7-3/4 inches high. Trudeau makes the mill in several attractive colors and backs it with a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

This is the absolute best pepper mill I have ever had in my hand.
Just be careful when installing batteries.
Good item
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
My husband and I love this grinder. We actually bought several for gifts and an extra one for ourselves to use as a sea salt grider. Only 2 disadvantages to this grinder (one is why I didnt give it 5 stars).
The unit doesnt hold very much product, which means it needs to be re-filled often. In order to re-fill the unit, the base must be removed and the base is quite snug (and is difficut to remove). You want to turn the grinder over to remove the base, which turns the grinder on- that is quite frustrating.
To those who would like to use this as a sea salt grinder, beware that it grinds the salt rapidly which can oversalt your food. This is not a disadvantage to the grinder itself as it was not made to be a salt grinder.
Other than the above, we love this grinder and think its a great buy. Amazon also has the best price- I found this grinder at a large national retailer for almost $30.00, so this is a great price!!
Handy, but not perfect
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :4
This is a handy product, but it has a few problems:
Pros.
1. Works well and is highly adjustable.
2. I like a lot of pepper. It would sometimes take me a couple of minutes to grind with a manual grinder what I can now grind in seconds.
Cons.
1. Grinder stem contains a spring that is easily dislodged. It ends up in the peppercorns if you arent very careful when refilling. Also, if you accidentally overfill it, the spring will fall out when you empty the excess peppercorns and you will have to get a tool to reinstall it. Its not a huge problem but is mildly annoying.
2. Sounds like an electric pencil sharpener. The motor is a bit loud.
A rechargable model might be better. I used Duracell batteries and the required 6 AAA batteries lasted three months. I use it rather intensely 5 days a week, so your mileage may vary.
Piece of junk
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :0
This pepper mill is a nothing but a piece of junk. I ordered two of them. The motor on the first one died within 10 seconds of putting the batteries in. On the second one, the motor is "working", but it is not turning the metal rod, so all you get is the motor noise and no grinds. The motor has all plastic, fine teeth gears - even if you get lucky and get it to grind a teaspoon before it dies, how long do you think thats going to last? Dont throw your money away on this bottom of the barrel "made in china" junk.
Not the same old grind

Well made. this product uses too many battteries. Also it should only work when turned upside down. It starts when turned sideways. Also should have a larger reserve for pepper and the grind size is too big even when adjusted
