I'm reserving future judgement on this product because this is the SECOND set I've purchased from Circle Joy HK. The first set I purchased was a similar model but had an internal grind adjustment. This new one is external and is easier to use. The main issue I had with the first set is that after 7 months, (past the warranty) I was preparing a meal and when I went to salt the sauce in the pan the entire grinder head came apart and fell in the sauce. Needless to say, I have a bit of apprehension with this purchase, but I'm willing to accept the breakage as a one off. All manufacturing has an expected reasonable percentage of manufacturing errors that may slip through QC and go out to the consumer. I understand that I could just be one of the unfortunate end users that fell into that very small percentile. That said, however, there is always the chance that the manufacturer has a serious quality control issue. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with this second purchase. Should something break prematurely again, I guess I'll have my answer and will update this review accordingly. For now I will say that this set looks really good, as they all do. The weight and feel in your hand is good. I especially like that there is a physical "slider switch" for the On-Off function. The other model I had was a pressure sensitive switch that was clunky and required too much pressure to operate. The external adjustment for the grinder head is a plus and so far works smoothly. You do, however, need to keep the grinder head cleaned, witch they did provide a little bush to do just that. All-in-all, this set is operating well, they look and feel great, and the price wasn't bad. The only thing I would suggest as an improvement would be to include a brighter led in future models as it just isn't that illuminating Read more
These are way better than the others I’ve tried. They hold more salt and pepper, battery slots are better and aren’t exposed to corrosion like others. These are gravity fed, so you turn them over to use them. Salt and pepper comes out quickly so you’ll need to adjust while cooking. Nice quality and weight. Super easy to adjust coarseness. My only complaint is that not all the contents empty so you need to calculate the amount the next time you use them. Read more
This Salt and Pepper Grinder Set works very well. The shakers are attractive enough for the table, easy to use, and the batteries I installed upon receipt appear to be holding up well. The ease of adding salt and pepper to food while preparing meals ALMOST makes cooking fun. Read more
I would given 5 stars. It's a great grinder set. My only frustration is how to you shake off the last of the salt or pepper? I always seem to have a little extra i want to put on my foot that's around the grinder. But, when you try to shake it off, it's starts grinding again. Not a real problem, just a frustration.

I got these because of arthritis and thinking they are kind of heavy but for the amount of ease and they have a light. You do have to watch the salt but I put pink Himalayan in mine. Probably not the best idea but they are. They are good and easy for people to use Read more
Works great so far. The pepper grinder stopped working despite having new batteries. After I played around with it and turned the grinder knob for finer pepper and re-screwed it back together tightly I haven’t had any issues with it since. Read more
I really like these! Just slide the button and turn upside down and fresh pepper and salt! The light is a nice touch as well! The battery lasts a long time! You can adjust the size of the grains of pepper. It’s not a noisy as other models that I’ve tried. A lot easier than the manual turning grinders! Would definitely recommend. I bought another for a present and they love it! Especially since she had surgery on her hands and wrists. Definitely taste the difference in the flavoring with the fresh pepper and salt Read more
I like the dial option to choose how finely I want my product ground. I haven’t had any issues with grinding it preforms nicely. The battery life is great, I use it several times a day and have only charged it once in a months time. Read more
