Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Graviti Battery-Operated Pepper Mill, Chrome
Customer Review: Worked well (at first); within 6 mos. went bad
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband gave this automatic peppermill to me as a stocking stuffer gift for X-Mas 2007. At first, I loved it, but over the past 5 months since I had it the black decorative knob (at the very top of the grinder) fell off (to my horror into a salad I was preparing - IN FRONT OF DINNER GUESTS!).
Last week, the grinder stopped grinding. I thought it was the batteries, but the new batteries seem to make little difference.
Since it's within the one-year advertised warranty, I'm going to have to take it back to the store where my husband purchased it. [Trudeau will also take it back (only if the store won't - you need to provide a compelling reason why) and the owner must "return the product by mail at your own expense".]
Hey, if the product goes bad within the very short one-year warranty period, Trudeau should bend over backward to accommodate customers. They have to know from the high return rate that they are surely experiencing that their product is poorly made. I will think carefully about purchasing another Trudeau product in the future.
Will see if the store will exchange now.
Description of Trudeau Graviti Battery-Operated Pepper Mill, Chrome
No button, no effort and no mess! This Trudeau Graviti Mill is one of the coolest and most convenient gadgets for the kitchen! It makes a great cook's tool as well as the perfect gift for friends or family. Simply fill the mill with fresh pepper and just flip it to use! It comes filled already with fresh gourmet peppercorns and is made with a high-impact ceramic grinder that is as hard as hardened steel! It can also be used with sea salt crystals so don't limit yourself to only using peppercorns. Runs on six AAA batteries, which are not included. Under normal use, the batteries should last more than year. Comes with a 1-year warranty.As its name implies, the Graviti battery-operated pepper mill from Trudeau leans heavily on the laws of physics for its function and appeal. A sleek and amusing gadget that also makes great ground pepper, the piece turns on automatically when flipped upside down. This saves grinding effort, of course, but it is also useful for the stirring cook who only has one free hand to add spice, not to mention that it serves as a fun conversation starter. To ensure that the Graviti is not mere gimmickry, Trudeau equips it with a durable and efficient ceramic grinder, and a finely tunable knob for adjusting coarseness. The grinder works well for both pepper and sea salt and arrives filled with gourmet peppercorns. It washes up by hand, runs on 6 AAA batteries, and stands 7-3/4 inches high. Trudeau makes the mill in several attractive colors and backs it with a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
