O.K., so this pepper mill and salt shaker set isn't sleek and shiny. What this set lacks in styling it more than makes up for in function! I can't tell you how much money I've wasted purchasing pepper mills because they looked so nice. Then, when I used them, they didn't work very well. This OXO Good Grips set is the best functioning set I've ever used. I'm even beginning to like the way they look!

The pepper mill has an easy to fill chamber, with a large opening. No more dropping the peppercorns one by one into the mill because the pepper mill opening is too small, or struggling trying to use a funnel to fill the chamber. The grind is fully adjustable from very fine to coarse. It is very simple to adjust, too!

The salt shaker has a rubber stopper for refilling the shaker. I usually don't like stoppers as generally they're hard to pry out of the shaker and hard to get back into the shaker. The stopper on the OXO shaker is large and has an extended tab which makes it very easy to handle.

I don't have any physicial handicap, but I can see where someone who has trouble using their hands would love this set! I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have two autoimmune diseases, which impact my joints. Cooking is difficult to say the least! I have used other OXO products with success. The OXO salt and papper mill set is easy for me to grasp and hang on to with my hands. The salt mill has adjustable pours and the handle on the pepper mill allows me the freedom to grind fresh pepper without pain. All I can say is thank you OXO for making my life easier.

I recommend this set to anyone willing to pay a little more for quality. The peppermill is by far the best I've ever used and the salt shaker features a flow control that allows 3 levels of output. Both items are intuitively designed and durably constructed.

I looked around at a lot of grinders in stores and we have 3 that don't grind well at all settings. What sets OXO apart is the grinding mechanism is wide and deep so that the peppercorns fit completely within the grinding area and so get ground! Many, many others have shallow sets of teeth so the peppercorns have to be caught by their rough edges (not all peppercorns are rough)and hopefully get ground. Too often they pop out of these shallow tooth grinders. These shallow ones must rely on the mass of peppercorns to keep others on the grinding teeth.

Not OXO! The deep grinding jaws do the trick - peppercorns can't escape, even the smooth ones. 2 months of flawless grinding so far. Oooooh, fresh pepper smells so good.

I ordered this set for someone for Christmas and decided to get them for myself as well. I'm so glad I did. The pepper mill is so easy to use, grinds the pepper well and has a nice cover on the bottom to prevent those little pepper trails on the table. The salt shaker is good because it has 3 different size openings and can also be closed to prevent salt from hardening in the humid weather. Great set for the price. I'm a new OXO fan.

These are great! Easy to use and I love the look of them. Everyone in our family especially likes to use the pepper grinder, it's great fun! I highly recommend these.

I am addicted to pepper, I love it on everything. Recently I bought a pepper ball and it was okay. Well, that was until I went to my Grandmas and used her OXO grinder. This thing is amazing! I love my pepper ground very fine and this does it with ease. With one turn I have the same amount that the pepepr ball would give me in 20... This is better than expensive grinders and at a fraction of the price. Also, Amazon has this set for the cheapest anywhere else. I looked around and you will not be able to find it any cheaper, but even if it was triple the price, it is still worth more.

Love this salt & pepper set!! Fully adjustable fine to course grinder; it even has a bottom cap to keep the grinder mechanism clean. Love the 4 option opening for the salt shaker: 1 large hole, medium holes, small holes, and closed. Both are durable and comfortable to use--as expected from an OXO product.

I love my OXO salt and pepper shaker! I have several different pepper grinders, but my OXO grinder is by far the best. Because of the crank handle, it grinds pepper faster than any of my other grinders, with not nearly the effort needed with other grinders. I've had it for over three years now, and it still works great. Friends who have used it love it--I have even given this set as a Christmas gift. I can't say enough good things about it!

I looked around forever for a solution to my "pepper on the counter" problems. I found only two really good, practical solutions -- this set, with a cap that covers the pepper grinder when not in use was the better option. The other was to buy the new disposible pepper grinders at the grocery store where the grinder is on the top.
