Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these shakers on Amazon after I dropped and broke a pepper mill that I'd been using for years. The first thing that disappointed me upon their arrival was their size; they're diminutive. I had expected them to be more substantial. This disappointment is my fault though; I didn't take note of the measurements provided in Amazon's product listing.
The second disappointment: they're very thin-walled and light, i.e. they just don't feel like a quality-made product (although the finish is fine). I'm guessing that the first drop on the floor will dent one.
Third disappointment: the filler plug on ther salt saker is a flimsy, rubber-like, pressure-fit (not a screw-in or bayonet-mount) gizmoid, and there was no pressure to fit it. Upon filling the shaker, inserting the plug and turning the shaker over to its intended functional position (upright), the plug fell out under the weight of the salt! I tried two more times (thinking I just wasn't doing something right) and repeated the salt loss both times (good thing salt is cheap). I called the manufacturer and they sent me two replacement plugs. These fit a little tighter (but not much) and solved the problem for now, but I'm guessing that with age these new plugs will experience the same sympton (otherwise, why would they have sent me two?).
Fourth disappointment: despite a claim of adjustable grind on the pepper mill, I can obtain only one type of grind: very coarse (splits each peppercorn into about three pieces).
In short: in my view, these are very much overpriced for their size and quality; had I been able to preview them before purchase, I would have been willing to pay maybe $5.00 (but probably I would have passed them by altogether). I replaced them a week after their arrival with two very nicely-made, rugged, real wood 6" shakers from a company called Trudeau for exactly the same price.
