My first electric peppermill was a cheap product from discounters, very fragile process and the 6 batteries were each time within a very short time empty. Finally, the block in which the batteries are inserted, broken from the rest of the mill. So needed a new, for which I was willing to pay a little more. The idea with the Peugeot mill I actually came because I drive a Peugeot and my car love. I also liked the design and the price seemed very reasonable to me. The build quality is solid and 1a, everything stable and fits comfortably in your hand. You can individually adjust the grind and mill grinds quiet and fast. The batteries I have now been about a month in the mill and they still show no signs of fatigue, although I use it several times a day. The refilling is quick and easy and the pepper container also holds quite a lot. I am fully satisfied and I am pleased to have so made a great purchase. I highly recommend the mill!
