Internal parts broken after 7 years - lifetime warranty?

We have two of these salt mills and we both use them on a daily basis. One bought in 2013 failed internally and didn't figure out how to run a lifetime warranty. Olde Thompson's website doesn't even list this grinder on their product page, and there's no indication on the website of how the warranty is honored. Both are used with Himalayan salt.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Excellent0 good for kitchenware and gadgets

Olde Thompson is the only brand worth buying if you are looking for a reliable salt/pepper grinder that will grind equally fine or coarse. My daughter bought a similar set from a different manufacturer. They were cheaper and useless. I bought her this set and I know she loves them. I have 3 wooden ones. Brown for black peppercorns, natural for white peppercorns, and light brown for peppercorn blends. You have never let me down.

Pros
  • even old timers understand
Cons
  • Zero

Works and looks good, doesn't grind super fine

Doesn't grind well which I prefer. I ended up donating it to charity and used the Costco salt that comes from the mill because it grinds it a lot finer. Regular-grain salt or finer salt, which can also be used with slight adjustment, will likely work for most people. But sometimes I just want to add fine salt that mixes well and easily, or put a very small amount of salt on a dish. I miss the much better looks of this one and wish it had a finer grind.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Appearance

A small difference to my previously purchased salt mill!?

I love Olde Thompson Mills! I bought a set of Bavaria salt and pepper mills! There is a little difference from my previous salt mill!? I've bought a Bavaria salt mill before! Differences in the lid! My current Bavaria salt mill lid has a distinctive rounded shape on the inside, which indicates a certain care with this design! The new Bavaria salt mill lid is the same as the Bavaria pepper mill lid! I would give it 5 stars if only the salt mill lid was the same as it used to be!

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Superb salt grinder, company has excellent customer service

We bought this salt grinder and matching pepper grinder to replace those purchased from WS. The old ones were ok, but dosed from below and always left salt on the table. This is great because they spread out on top and don't make a mess. When we first received them there was a problem with the caps - the two parts of the cap came loose even though they were supposed to stay together. The seller said I would have to send it back and I really didn't want to mess with all of this (and have to pay…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Great product, love the ceramic components!

Originally bought an identical version of this Martha Stewart from Macy's. It was much more expensive and was no longer sold there. So when I discovered that my previous grinder had rust in the grinder, I contacted Revain for a replacement. This grinder is exactly the same, with two improvements; First, it's cheaper. Second, and more importantly, the grinding components are ceramic and will (hopefully) not degrade like metal when rusted. I'm pretty sure it's rusted because I live in a humid…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Quality

The best grinder. Look no further.

[.] Dollars may seem a bit pricey for a salt/pepper grinder, but it's worth it. It is made of thick glass and metal. The grinder can be ground completely steplessly from very fine to very coarse. The lid that comes with the grinder can be used as a water trap when you turn the grinder upside down and grind loose salt/pepper. The quality of the salt/pepper (depending on the grinder) is also very good. You will not be disappointed. I firmly believe in quality and am constantly disappointed with…

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

SO MUCH SALT! - Kitchen Utensils and Gadgets

I bought this Himalayan Salt Meat Grinder which I received at the same time. This is a lovely grinder that already had salt (white) in it which was a nice surprise and would be great if I used it for white salt. In any case, it arrives ready to drive. I like this coffee grinder for several reasons. First, the salt is ground from the top, not the bottom, so you don't have salt crystal traces when you pour it in. Second, there is a small top disc that closes the grinder when not in use. If you're

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Weak Set
