Yours received many poor reviews and only a handful of people bought
it. Mainly what drew me to the OXO was its crank handle, it'll grind
a lot of pepper very quickly and effortlessly. Over 2,000 people
bought it and hardly anyone didn't like it and of those that
complained it was about the most ignorant reason... naturally the fill
door can pop open if it's not held with ones hand over it, says so in
the accompanying literature.
Btw, Penzeys new replacement doesn't have the crank handle like their
old one... pepper mills that require twisting a knob are a PIA, unless
yoose enjoy the sexual simulation.
Also, if the pepper mill you chose is so wonderful why didn't you post
about earlier, why did you take the opportunity to knock the one I
posted about, and then claim you had already bought the same one and
didn't like it... anyone can make up a story after the fact while
boasting about something they don't have, Janet B. Smith.... exactly
like most RFCers, who constantly Tell about all the food they prepare
and everything else in their life but never Show any thing... they are
the Pinochios who failed 1st grade "Show N' Tell".
