Review on Effortlessly Perfect: Prodyne Smart Grind Lighted Electric Mill, Stainless Steel by Jim Larson

While the automatic grinder is a great idea for those like me who only use one hand, this particular model broke after a few months of regular use at the table or while cooking on the stovetop. I was hoping that this model would be better than other inefficient grinders I've used, but I was disappointed. Replacing the batteries twice didn't help - plus you have to remove the entire battery pack to get the peppercorns into the tank. This is inconvenient and pretty much guarantees you'll be chasing spilled peppercorns all over the kitchen floor. Eventually I gave in and bought a hand mill that you can use with one hand.
