The mill is very stylish and it looks pretty robust. Inserting the batteries and loading pepper are pretty easy. There is a setting that lets you easily adjust the size of the desired grain. The automatic lamp as soon as the mill is operated is rather convenient. To use, you just get used to not put his finger on the upper part where the button is very sensitive is. After trying different mills of all price ranges, this is the best I've had. I am very happy with this purchase. My purchase is relatively new, however, I can not comment on the life of the batteries.
