 OXO gets it right again Sep 11, 2009
By bruce porter
My sister turned me onto OXO kitchenware a few years back. She has issues gripping utensils. I liked them for their construction, how well they work and easy clean up. I saw these mills and loved the look and the quality materials they are made of. They are solidly constructed yet still light enough not to cause issues for those that OXO items were designed.
Both mills have adjustments on the collar above the see-through storage portion. There are little "ears" that allow selection of one of five various settings for "fine" through coarse granules to exit the mill.
I wouldn't call any of the dispensed salt or pepper "fine" but that's perfectly okay for me and my family. Please consider other options if you like "pepper dust" as these puppies just won't grind that fine.
As others have noted, the mills set "upright" with the ceramic teeth facing the sky. It seems a little point, but how often have you lifted your old pepper mill to find flecks on the counter or table top? Filling and actual turning of the base portion to dispense either the pepper or salt is effortless.
I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. (In fact I have a feeling I know what I will get some family members for a certain upcoming holiday)
Unless you simply don't have access anything other than pre-ground salt, I urge you to get the set that contains two mills, not the pepper mill and salt shaker)
Both mills do come loaded ready for use. I read where some have dumped the peppercorns that came with, to refill them with the identical black peppercorns. Whole spices tend to have a lengthy shelf-life. Upon checking, I see they say peppercorns have about 4 yrs. A few have dumped the salt too. It must be due to their concerns with contamination rather than the salt going bad. Being a hearty soul, I opted to not waste what came to me. Pungent pepper and salt as fine or course as I ask is delivered painlessly in two beautiful little packages. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Simple & effective salt/pepper grinder set May 30, 2009
By Barry Lentz
Owned for about a month. Simple mechanism. Sound construction. Course/fine adjust works well. Easy for even a child to turn. Perfect results every time. Just ordered a second set for our beach cottage.

oxo grinders Jun 04, 2009
By Steven T. Grinstead
after years of the cheap bath and kitchen store grinders breaking every couple of years these Oxo grinders feel nice and sturdy. I especially like the selectable size feature

 Defective refill cap Feb 06, 2011
By David Nox
I loved these things at first but after a couple of months the bottom refill cap would randomly fall off spilling the peppercorns all over the place.
After it happened twice I made it a practice to check the bottom refill cap after each use. Sadly it seemed the cap was plotting against me and would fall off
any time I didn't check it. The refill cap cannot twist tight. It is designed to twist and lock into place but the lock part seems to wear out after some use and it will then fall off spilling it's contents after use. One user said the new model has fixed this problem but I don't know.
For a product I paid nearly $40 for I am very disappointed. It's too late to return it.
***Review Edit***
After about 6-7 months another Amazon customer advised me to try Oxo customer service. I contacted them by email and they sent out a new set to me free of charge.
Only problem is it's not the new improved grinder model. It's the same model I have. It has the same problem as the other set. One grinder fill cap is loose and can cause a major spill if it falls off. Looking on the bright side I now have 4 grinders 2 with tight lids 2 with loose lids.
If you receive the old model with the twist lids and they are too loose contact Oxo and they will probably give you a replacement.
These are nice grinders when the lids don't fall off. In 7 months It's happened about 3 times causing annoying spills.
I'm not sure if Amazon is selling the improved model yet. The current picture is not the improved model.

VERY HAPPY Nov 04, 2009
By Ty
I read the reviews and the main problem seemed to be the pepper didn't grind small enough. I'm no chef but it ground very fine to me. quality was high, nice size. the grinders are made of ceramic. hope they last a long time.
