Summary: 4 Stars
Without a doubt there are much nicer electric salt and pepper grinders out there in the world. There are cool gravity-operated ones, or space-saving combination salt/pepper grinders, and they all fall in a wide price range. You can spend hundreds of dollars or tens of dollars.
For my budget, this "iTouchless Automatic Stainless Steel Pepper Mill and Salt Grinder" set was just what I wanted. You get two matching grinders for less than you would pay for many single grinders, they look great in the kitchen and they work just fine. I dig the light on the bottom even more than I thought I would. I thought that was a silly and unnecessary feature until I put it to use, and now I don't want to cook without it. I also have really appreciated the cap, which lets you measure out ground pepper for recipes. At first I thought the chambers didn't hold very much, especially compared to my old hand-crank grinders, but this hasn't been a problem. Refilling is easy once you get the hang of it.
I have seen several reviews were these grinders fall apart after a week, so I have been waiting and using my grinders for a month before chiming it. Happily, after a month of daily, sometimes heavy, use I have had no problems whatsoever. They have ground their way through two family BBQs now as well as just daily cooking. I keep one grinder with Himalayan pink sea salt and the other with standard peppercorns, and the "iTouch Automatic" grinds them both just fine. (pun intended!)
There are some elements that make these less than perfect. They are somewhat large, and while as a guy I have no problem one-handing them and pressing the button on top to activate the grinder, my wife finds them too bulky for that. (Don't be fooled by the name "touchless." There is a dime-sized button on top that needs to be held down in order to grind.) Also, the adjustment knob for the grind is just basically a nut that screws up and down, so you don't have really fine control over your grind. I am sure the pricier brands and models offer you more control in this area, but it is hard to complain too much with the great price on this set.
