Summary: 4 Stars
My wife would not miss this elegant peppermill anymore! We think this gadget is really great. However, we bought our peppermill when it still came with a bottom lid. We feel this is a mandatory part. It happens quite often that one inadvertently touches the top button when getting the peppermill out of the cupboard or putting it back in after the meal. Of course, it starts to grind instantly. So what happens when there is no lid at the bottom: you have that pepper (or salt) on your floor or wherever. Quite an annoying prospect indeed. I'd rather pay an extra dollar or so to have that lid included again. (This is assuming it is still missing as some reviews here indicate.) There is certainly no problem that the batteries are no longer included. These are readily available everywhere, whereas you'd have a hard time finding a lid that fits.
These things are a bit top-heavy (because of the batteries) so they tend to tumble if you hit them a bit. But that is only a minor problem. This peppermill has served us for several years now, with only one change of batteries so far. So, if you can get it with that bottom lid, buy it. It's great. The light is more of a gag than a necessity in our opinion. But kids love it!
Customer Review: I'm spoiled.

MIU Electric Peppermill
I'm about to purchase my 5th unit for a present.
We've had no particular problems with the functions of any of the 4 units I've purchased, although the first one quit working entirely after only a few months.
I hesitated to buy a second mill but loved the function so much that I decided to give it another chance. The second mill has worked well for perhaps a year and a half. Those I've given to others are still workin well.
I have been sufficiently spoiled buy using mine that I'd probably continue buying them if they only lasted about a year but fortunately the average life-span now seems to be significantly better than that.
I wouldn't recommend "BRAND X" alkaline batteries. I tried some on the my firt peppermill but they were insufficient to power it.
Buy the way, it's important to keep the electric peppermill out of the reach of 3&4 year-olds unless you want piles of ground pepper in unfortunate locations!
