The mill works well, as described in other recessions. The optics are ok. Nevertheless, only 2 stars because: With us after a few weeks use, including a mill axis has fallen (in our case the salt mill). Along with the mill part fall as a two-insert discs into their own hands; one of the two should have kept the axis. The repair is basically trivial, if you would just zoom! Unfortunately, however, the main part of the device is a compact piece and can not be further opened so that the re-attachment of the disc is a real challenge. It has succeeded me after several attempts with the help of adhesive strips and various tools, but that is far from optimal.
