Amazon.com Review
As its name implies, the Graviti battery-operated pepper mill from Trudeau leans heavily on the laws of physics for its function and appeal. A sleek and amusing gadget that also makes great ground pepper, the piece turns on automatically when flipped upside down. This saves grinding effort, of course, but it is also useful for the stirring cook who only has one free hand to add spice, not to mention that it serves as a fun conversation starter. To ensure that the Graviti is not mere gimmickry, Trudeau equips it with a durable and efficient ceramic grinder, and a finely tunable knob for adjusting coarseness. The grinder works well for both pepper and sea salt and arrives filled with gourmet peppercorns. It washes up by hand, runs on 6 AAA batteries, and stands 7-3/4 inches high. Trudeau makes the mill in several attractive colors and backs it with a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

 Worked great at first. September 1, 2010
Fen Sartorius (Placida, FL USA)
We bought one pepper mill and liked it so much we bought another one. They were easy to use and did a great job. I particularly liked the ability to adjust the coarseness of the grind. The only problem at first was that the bottom would not stay on, which meant they wouldn't operate; we sort of solved that with some masking tape inside to add friction BUT THEN...after about 4 months they each broke - neither one will grind pepper (or salt). Unfortunately the "return window" was expired so we're out about $60 for these mills. Very disappointed.
 Excellent Pepper Mill! August 5, 2010

I have owned and used several pepper mills over the past years. This has to be the finest one that I have had, bar none!
Piece of junk June 22, 2010
P. C. Setzler (Southwest Virginia)
I bought this because my husband has the use of only one hand and thought this would be perfect for him. NOT! sometimes it grinds, and when it does it comes out in all sizes, no matter on what size grind you set it. It will only work for a few seconds and then quit.
NEW UNIT DOA - NICE PRODUCT IF IT ONLY WORKED. June 22, 2010
dick (San Jose, Ca)
I LIKED THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS PEPPER GRINDER BUT THE FIRST ONE I GOT AS A XMAS PRESENT STOPPED WORKING WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THERE WERE SOME MINOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT FILLING IT AND UNIFORMITY OF THE GRIND BUT OTHERWISE IT WAS A GOOD PRODUCT. WHEN IT FAILED THE MOTOR TURNED BUT THE SHAFT DIDN'T ROTATE, EVEN IF EMPTIED OF THE PEPPERS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GRIND - NO SHAFT TURNING MEANS NO PEPPER GRINDING. IT COULD BE TURNED MANUALLY SO IT WAS NOT JAMMED, SO A MOTOR OR CLUTCH PROBLEM. HOPING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE AND THE REPLACEMENT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM,WITH OR WITHOUT PEPPER LOADED, AND WITH NEW BATTERIES. FORTUNATELY AMAZON HAS AN EASY RETURN POLICY AND I OPTED TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY AND REORDER RATHER THAN CREDIT - BUT WROTE TO COMPLAIN TO TRUDEAU. NO RESPONSE YET. I WILL UPDATE THIS IF THE PROBLEM GETS RESOLVED - BUT FOR NOW IT IS A DICY CHOICE TO BUY THIS GADGET.
 Love It! June 1, 2010
Carlin Papp (Redondo Beach, Ca)
I first saw this this pepper mill when I was visiting my son & family. My instant reaction: "I must have one of these!" I ordered two for me (one for salt; one for pepper). All the guests that have been to my house have had the same reaction. This last time I ordered, I ordered 6 for friends and relatives. I also ordered two as a "thank you" gift for my cousins in Pa. If you try it, you will love it and so will all your friends and relatives. It is a bit tricky the first time, so follow the directions carefully.
