It produces a consistent grind, and is easy to use. I am a little underwhelmed by the volume of peppercorns it stores (I had a fishbowl-like peppermill before that held a lot more).
I paid extra for longevity, I was tired of cheaper plastic parts breaking. I’ll update this review periodically as mine ages to report how it’s holding up.
UPDATE January 2020: after daily use over the past year, it's still working fine. The screw that adjusts how finely it grinds doesn't stay where I adjusted it as well as I’d like but I'm not too picky about that. I'll update this post in another year.
UPDATE August 2020: The adjustment screw is much worse now. There is nothing to keep it from spinning after an adjustment. If I adjust the screw to grind finely it will loosen itself in just 2 or 3 twists leaving me with a much coarser grind than I can stand. I dropped my review to 3 stars because of this. Even the single use plastic grinders have detents to lock in your adjustment. Since I now effectively don't have a way to adjust coarseness anyway, I ended up resorting to putting a drop of thread lock on the adjustment screw. At least now it's locked into the fineness I want.
