Pros
Pro Comfortable one-handed use
This electric mill is convenient to use for cooks who need to have one hand free for food preparation, or someone with a weaker grip who has trouble using manual pepper mills.
Pro Grinds fast
Electric mills are quite slow, they usually take 1-2 minutes to fill a teaspoon. The Model 200 cuts the time down to about 20 seconds.
Pro Universal use
Dual ceramic grinders can handle not only peppercorns but some of the other spices as well. This electric pepper mill easily grinds coriander, fennel, rye, flax, anise, and dill seeds.
Cons
Con No very fine grind
The Model 200 has 4 preset grind sizes (most manual mills have 6), and the lowest one does not produce a very fine grind.
Con Makes a loud noise
The battery-powered mill makes a loud whirring noise while grinding, so it's more suitable for cooking, not on a dinner table.
Con Spreads pepper over a wide area
Two grinders spread crushed pepper widely - you need to hold the mill low over the food, so the pepper doesn't cover the whole plate or kitchen counter.
