Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Oxo Good Grips first earned its considerable reputation by making comfortable-to-use, high-performance kitchen tools, so it's no surprise that this pepper mill feels good in the hand and works like a charm. With its large, soft knob and long arm, the mill grinds peppercorns easily as the handle turns round and round or back and forth. Filling the mill is also easy because the door (made of clear plastic so you can easily check the peppercorn level) opens wide. The mill's large capacity means fewer refills, and the grinding mechanism adjusts for coarse or fine grinding. Finally, Oxo thoughtfully solves the most common problem with pepper mills--leaking pepper--by providing a snap-on base for when the mill is not in use. The mill stands 5-1/2 inches high and is made of tough, durable plastic. Oxo makes a large-capacity salt shaker to pair with this mill. --Fred Brack
Product Description
This grinder is certainly one of the very easiest to use, making it an excellent choice for anyone who has difficulties with gripping. There is a dial to adjust from coarse to fine, and then you simply grab the big, soft knob and turn to garnish your food. A clear window lets you know when it's time to refill.

Fantastic for painful hands,
By H. Grove "Errant Dreams Reviews" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill (Kitchen)
Some time ago I was having a tendonitis flare-up. At the time we had a little crystal-clear pepper mill that was fairly stiff when you used it to grind pepper. This was merely annoying when we wanted to grind lots of pepper for a recipe; it was sheer agony when my tendonitis started acting up. So, we decided to try the Oxo pepper mill.
You pull open the little plastic "window" so that it becomes a spout-like opening, and you pour peppercorns inside. You set a wheel on the bottom in order to adjust the grind from coarse to fine. Then you grab the big black knob on the long lever arm and grind your pepper. Because you get plenty of leverage with that long grind arm, you can very quickly grind large amounts of pepper with little effort - perfect for the home cook! Best of all, it's very easy on the hands. Even at the worst of my tendonitis I've been able to use it. The clear window makes it very easy to see when you're running out of pepper. Wonderful for people like us, who cook a lot - we go through a lot of pepper! The white color unfortunately does mean that it gets dirty quickly and obviously. You'll need to clean it quite often if you plan to use it at the table. It's extremely easy to load - nothing to unscrew or pry apart. You just open the window like a drawer and pour stuff in! That's a lot easier to load than our salt shaker, let me tell you. Like so many things Oxo, unfortunately, we find that this mill doesn't entirely stand up to frequent usage. The grind wheel developed problems pretty quickly. Now, if you want finely-ground pepper, you have to keep dialing the wheel back to the fine side after every few grinds. It seems to work its way back to coarse without help from anyone else. Luckily for us, we don't mind coarsely-ground pepper, so this doesn't bother us too much. If you like your pepper fine, however, you might find this annoying.

Spicy And Pleasing,
By A Customer
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill (Kitchen)
Oxo International has a well deserved reputation for the durability and ease of use of their kitchen products--earning them the Tylenol Arthritic award. And this pepper grinder fits that mold perfectly.My husband collects pepper grinders and this one is his favorite. With its extended arm and comfortable knob grip, he can pepper his salad and sizzling sirloin quickly--and he eats a lot of pepper. So much so that if eating out, the poor server usually ends up just handing him the mill. I like this grinder for two main reasons: the large capacity can be watched through the clear area and the cap which snaps on the bottom, when not in use, keeps my sponge work to a minimum. This is a good product at a good price. Paired with a bottle of specialty peppercorns , such as Wedding Blend, it could make a spicy gift for house-warmings, bridal showers or holiday events.

Well-designed little pepper mill,
By "45mouton" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill (Kitchen)
I am a fan of OXO kitchen utensils and devices (with the exception of their corkscrew -- easy extraction but very hard to remove the cork from it), and this little pepper mill is no exception. The comparatively long handle affords the mill excellent leverage, resulting in a smooth and easy grinding action. I particularly like the flip-open plastic door for the intake of peppercorns -- you can see how much peppercorns are left and no more looking for the cap. The quality of the plastic is excellent, not a rough edge anywhere. Highly recommended.
