I love this salt mill
By Mary Ann Rocco
I primary purchased a travel size pepper mill and loved being competent to grab with one hand and use it while cooking. I in the end ordered the salt one and glad that I did. I don't care that it doesn't hold alot of salt. It's not like I have to add more salt to it often...more like each 2 or 3 months. I live in California so I guess I don't have issues with the humidity that others have commented on. I lost mine (I have no idea how) and ordering a second one so that says alot. Of course I will find the lost one the day the new one comes in the mail...

Best Salt Grinder Ever
By D. Fernandez
I've being using this product for more than a year.
It is easy to use. It's good for humid places and in particular boats.

PROS
1) Maintain the salt free of humidity
2) The salt is grinded into a cloud of tiny grains. The grains are grinded into smallest size than mercantile grinded salt. Looks like salt powder.
3) The acrylic tube let's you know when to refill.
4) The size is perfective for daily use at home.
5) In contrast with battery operated grinder, it's always ready to use, the salt is grinder into powder not big grains, and it's free of moist.
6) The little grains of salt (powder released) is more enjoyably and quickly dissolve in the mouth equated to others salt grinders and general salt.
7) The salt is freed with consistence (quantity and grain size) with each push.
It's easy to use for adults with just one hand. Good for occasional used at the kitchen or every day use at the table.

CONS
1) The grinder might be difficult to push by toddlers (which is good in a way since it helps to make them use less salt).
2) After assorted times of falling to the floor (more than ten times in my case), might broke at the acrylic part.
3) The amount of salt storage might be consumed fast by a chef or if you employed more than 100 grams every day (3.5 Ounces).
4) The grinder might stop working if you wet the base by accident. If so, replace the humid salt and it will keep working like new.

PS: I purchased booth the salt and pepper grinder. Both are the same in size and parts. In fact I ended up using the pepper grinder for salt too and it works perfect.

Looks better than it is
By Jane
Good looking and works well, in arid weather. Very little salt comes out when it's humid. The capacity of this mill is small.
