TrudeauOne-Hand Battery Operated Pepper Mill, Stainless Steel Finish 7 by 2

I loved the first pepper mill so much I purchased another one. Easy to use for people who can't use a hand grind pepper mill. Only drawback is it's size. Wish it had a larger compartment for the pepper as it runs out of pepper fast and has to be refilled all the time. But, I can live with that since I bought another one just for this reason.

This is the 2nd pepper mill of this brand I have had

I have been looking several years for a pepper mill that I can easily use with just one hand. I have M.S and have almost no use of my right hand. I did have to take my left hand and place my right hand around the bottom of the pepper mill to hold it just enough to unscrew the top and take it off the mill so that I could get the mill atpart to put in 4 AAA batteries. The batteries are not included. I have only minimal grip strength in my right hand so at least the one I got did not require much strength for this. I love using this so much I would give it 5 stars but since I really did have to use my second hand to set it up and it will have to be taken apart again to refill the peppercorns or replace the batteries, which may again require the second hand I gave it 4 stars. It only took my first use and I was in love. I've tried the plastic mills that you squeeze the handles and they are harder to use and one of my handles broke, making it wothless, after what I considered minimal use for a pepper mill. Granted I haven't had this mill long but I find myself looking for excuses to use it. You can adjust the size of the grounds with the black bar on the bottom as one reviewer stated. Check out the picture of the bottom of the pepper mill that I uploaded. I've used pepper mills for years and have a very nice one named after a previous cook show host and I can adjust this one better than any of the ones I've owned before, although that does take a little time to get it where you want or at least it did for me. Once the mill is adjusted you just push the button on top to grind and release the pepper. Release the button to stop grinding. Yes, as one reviewer said it does have a little pepper under it when you pick it up but since I really do need to be able to use this with just one hand, I don't want a bottom cover that pulls off. What I did do was get out a small cup that came with my everyday china that has straight sides and I set the mill in it between uses to keep the pepper off the cabinet. Besides taking two hands to take apart to put in batteries or peppercorns, the only other thing I would say is that the part that holds the peppercorns seems a little on the small side but so far I'm surprised at how much I've used it and haven't had to refill it yet, especially considering that my husband calls me a pepper nut and doesn't think there is much I cook without pepper. It does fit nicely in one hand and is easy to hold, push and release the button, and move around over the top of your food so all the pepper doesn't end up in one place on your food. All this, including picking it up and setting it down, is all done easily with one hand. Also, it sits on the cabinet without falling over, like some of my previous ones have. If my love for this mill changes or if it doesn't hold up, I'll update this review. If I can take it apart one handed and not use my right hand in anyway when I need to refill it or change batteries I'll update the review. It may be that the top was just screwed on too tight at the manufacturer to be taken off using only one hand.

I love it. I was gifted it a few years ago. Just recently our friend was visiting and fell in love with it so I gifted her two. Just push the top button to dispense. It takes 4 AAA batteries. And it holds plenty of peppercorns. It can also be used for very course salt as well.

Bought it, loved it, lasted just short of two years then died.

I like a LOT of pepper. But, after I got used to it, this little peppermill works OK for me.I don't mind refilling it every so often. Yes, it has a small capacity.But, it takes no time to refill it. Several months later, the batteries are still good.And I use it every day. I have to admit, the device is fine.Perfection will just have to wait. lol

We love this grinder. Easy to use, batteries last a long time, easy to adjust the size of the grind. Very happy with it !!

Love the shorter size. Fits on top of my oven below the cupboards perfectly.

It works well, got very good service from I&R and Amazon. Thanks.

Very handy, sturdy and useful machine

I really like how easy and smoothly the spice is dispensed. The only thing I would like is to have the container be larger.

Had one for years by the same manufacturer and like all good things when it slowed down I ordered the same kind. Works very well. Thank you " HAPPY J"

We have had this exact same design of product before and possibly even from the same company and we were satisfied until it broke.This one out of the box however is fairly difficult to get going because the button is pretty loose so it doesn't always make direct contact with the mechanism to make it work. Often I have to hold it down and wiggle the button around for it to actually grind any pepper.It's a good product regardless and our last one was used to death and I hope that this is not a common issue.
