Let me start by saying that this is one of the less expensive electric salt & pepper grinders. When I unpacked the grinders, the holder was bent, was easy enough to bend back into shape. With that being said most do not come with a nice holder. It did take a few times of placing /removing the batteries to get them to work, but once they started.... works great! The reservoir for the salt and pepper is the size of the see through area. The light is nice, it could be brighter, but considering that my manual grinders did not have a light... it is good enough for my use. The grinders have a nice weight to them, they do not feel cheap. They also have rubber caps on the bottom to prevent any S&P spillage. I am very happy with them. I have used for about a week and a half, so far so good. I will update in a few months to review how well they are holding up. Update.... I just wanted to update that the seller, is AMAZING. They sent me a replacement. This one arrived undamaged and perfect working order. I believe it was 2 days after they contacted me. So for that reason, I bumped them from 4 stars to a 5.
