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

Going on six years with original set, and just purchased these as a gift.Previous (lower priced) electric grinders only lasted a year or two.In addition to the quality, adjusting the grind is as simple as twisting the bottom part of the grinder.Lights help to easily see quantity when grinding.Comes with the 12 AAA batteries needed. With daily / frequent use they typically last 3-4 months.The quality of these makes them a better value than lower priced options.

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!

Well, what is there to say. These are so well-made and so unbelievably great. I ended up purchasing two more as gifts. I also purchased the holder that they go in. They look so elegant on your counter, or wherever else you might put them. Well-made, heavy Works great. Love the light easy to operate.“By the best and only cry once”

Product works well. I like that you can easily select grind size and the tank holds a decent amount. There seems to be a lot of pepper left in the grind after you stop. You have to make sure to shake it out or else the tray/stand it sits on gets full of unused pepper.

I make golden paste a couple times a month. A crucial ingredient of the recipe is 2-3 teaspoons of freshly ground pepper. 2-3 teaspoons of ground pepper is not easy with a hand grinder. Another electric grinder I had put out an inconsistent grind, and did not have a consistent output of pepper. It took the same amount of time to grind the pepper as the non electric grinder, I just didn't have to grind. No better in my opinion. This one, though expensive is the goat! It does what it says. There is a consistent output of pepper, on going if I hold the button, and I can choose the grind size, and its fast. If I had to find something to improve, I guess I would say the reservoir where you put in the peppercorns is small, needing to refill often. And there is a little extra ground pepper that comes out after you finish grinding. However, even with those details, if you are looking for a good pepper grinder and want it conisitan and effortless, this is the product for you. It does not disappoint and its worth the cost.

I received this as a gift. I have only had a manual pepper mill until now. This electric one is wonderful! Easy to fill and use. Looks nice on the counter and comes with its own little tray to catch the bits of pepper.

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.

It has been decades since I was a brand snob, but I have to say this Peugeot mill is as good as it gets. Excellent grind control with U-Select, a proven mechanism that just works right out of the box. I went with the powered Peugeot because when cooking I am usually using each hand for something, and there are several times when I just don't have two hands to mill pepper.This little gem gives me the best fine grand pepper available and the aroma and taste are out of this world. It seems a bit pricey at close to $100 but the quality of the milled pepper it gives you will transform your cooking and eating experiences. As of December 2019 this is the best motor driven pepper mill you can buy. If you can afford it, buy it.

High quality and work perfect.Opening them to put pepper and salt in, or install batteries is very difficult. Maybe since I have opened and closed them once it will be a little easier in future. ( I have no issues getting caps off unopened jars etc. these are VERY hard to open).

I love the way it works. BUT my complaint is that it came with NO instructions or receipts or information or lifetime warranty that I was expecting. It makes me wonder if it’s a knock-off.I had to go to YouTube to put it together.

Works very well although it does not match the pepper mill that we already had - they have changed the design slightly. Very sensitive too.

Die Mühlen sind sehr gut und hochwertig verpackt. Die Bedienungsanleitung ist absolut ausreichend und die Haptik ist hervorragend. Das einsetzen der Batterien ist wirklich einfach. An die Bedienung via dem Sensor gewöhnt man sich schnell. Das einstellen auf eine feinere Stufe bedarf ab und an der Bedienung der Mühle. Aber alles macht einen hochwertigen und handfesten Eindruck.
