My Graviti battery operated pepper mill came today.
Purchased via the TVWBB Amazon link.
I bought the black model.
I wanted this for cooking, since one hand is always a mess, and now my wooden crank model can reside on the table.
These are my first impressions.
Pros so far:
No button to push, tip it over and it turns on.
No 'grinds' left on the counter.
Grind selection on top works well.
Hefty, solid feel.
6 rechargeable AAA batteries can be used.
The only con so far:
Made in China, no surprise there, but
it really hacked me off that they have a sticker on the package that looks just like the "Proudly Made in the USA" sticker with an American flag.
When in fact it states "proudly filled (small letters) in the USA"
My displeasure about this will show up in an Amazon review, and possibly to the maker, if I can find the Trudeau Corp. website.
Sorry for the rant, guess I'm a grumpy old man who wishes stuff was still made here, but don't try to deceive folks if it's not.
BTW, I dumped the 'corns' that came with it no matter how proudly they were put there.
