These salt and pepper grinders are top notch quality and feature grinding from the top of the device instead of the bottom. This makes for much cleaner use without the mess of bottom grinding units. The containers are large and made of durable plastic and they feature grind settings so you can determine the size of the grindings you prefer. I like coarse ground for pepper but fine grind for salt - easy to change as needed. Highly recommend especially if you dislike refilling often. These hold a lot of salt and pepper and refilling from the bottom is fast, easy and non-messy.

The salt grinder works great. The pepper grinder, however does not. You have to turn the mill several times to get just a few flakes of pepper, regardless of coarseness setting. Shaking it to get the peppercorns to settle in bottom of grinder helps a little.

I like OXO products, but didn't like these so much. I'm giving four stars because they held a good amount of salt and pepper. What I didn't like was that the grind was inconsistent. On the finer settings, larger particles were mixed in with fine particles, and this was with both the salt and pepper shakers. For the price, I expect more consistency. Unfortunately, I sent these back.

I love the fact that the mill is on top, so the table does not get paper and salt on it, which always happened with the ones where the grinder is down...this may seem like a minor issue, but when one is always swishing pepper and salt of the table...or jiggling the grinder to knock the loose salt/pepper off.......

The adjustment is at the top, as seen in the pic with the dots for indicators, while the part that is twisted, is the opposite end. (typical of most grinders, the part one turns is the opposite of the grinder head. Lastly, they are filled from the end oppsosite of the grinder head (typical). Large opening (most of the bottom of the grinder). Great capacity. Clear view, so one knows the contents and the amount there.

I bought these for the dinning table. They look nice, just wish there was a smaller version, not bad, but I think 3/4 the size would look nicer. Much smaller, and then too small for the hand.

Range of grind is pretty good, of the 5 settings, for salt, 2nd lowest is about that of table salt, 1 is heavy popcorn salt. Pepper, 1 is typcial for ground pepper, while 3 is about that of course.

Thank GOD that someone finally had some sense to put the grinders at the top. I was very tired of always having a mess to clean from prior mills.

Pro's:
- Grinder on top (removes mess)
- Decent quality build

Con's:
- Price
- The grind can seem inefficient many times. Sometimes I feel like i'm really having to crank this thing and it's still barely sprinkling anything.
