When did electric pepper mills become Appliances! ;-)

Take a spin through the thread linked below, and go get yourself a Unicorn Magnum. You won't be sorry.

Unicorn Magnum Plus

I have one, it is great as far as pepper mills go. It is not electric though. It is top rated by Cook's Illustrated.

One tip - if you're going electric/battery operated, make sure you can test-grind it at the store. We got one as a gift and I hate the metallic revving sound of the grind, especially in the morning.

We have battery powered salt and pepper shakers and they eat up batteries really fast. I would not do batteries again.

They're curiosities, but little more IMHO. Have owned two, including the Peugeot. They work OK but nothing special. Personally, I find the sound they make rather obnoxious at the table.
