Ah yes, I got the Magnum about 6 mths or so ago based on recommendations
from this group and I just love it. Best pepper mill I have ever had. There
are many reasons it is wonderful but one of the outstanding ones is the
ability to fill it thru the upper side without having to unscrew the top or
the bottom ...

I've had a Magnum for about 4-5 years now, and like it a lot.
Since my regular 6" version gets a refill every 6 to 8 weeks,
I seriously doubt the Magnum Plus holds "a lifetime worth" :-).

Hey, this is the 21st century.
Anything over 2 weeks is a lifetime!
Seriously though, do both you and Ellen have
the regular Magnum?
Any tips on whether to get the Magnum Plus or
the regular?

I have the magnum plus -- I can't seem to find the online store I bought it
at unfortunately -- they were very pleasant to deal with.

These are the best. Huge output & infinite grind.

I give them as gifts.

Google on Unicorn Magnum pepper grinder; they sell direct.

Well I did that and I don't find the direct source -- I find a lot of other
places selling the grinders ... I would like to remember where I bought it.

In any case I really do like this grinder and have consigned the numerous
other ones that I hate to dark corners of the cabinets. I think the thing
that I like the best is being able to fill it without having to remove the
screw on the bottom and then having to reset the grind or worse chase the
wingnut thingy under the stove when I drop it and of course the fact that it
actually grinds the pepper instead of throwing out huge chunks or clogging
up or not reassembling right or doing some other idiotic thing. Let's see I
have a couple or three wooden ones that look beautiful and are useless and a
couple of acrylic ones that are even worse. The nice thing about it being
plastic is that I don't worry about what bits of food stuff I have on my
hand when I grab it to add pepper while cooking -- yeah yeah I know it says
not to put it next to heat but it does sit next to the stove anyway.

My husband just rolled his eyes when I said I was buying another grinder but
he is convenced now that it was all his idea and a wonderful idea at that
:-) Now if I could just convince him to get rid of those horrible circulon
pans he bought ....

I think that I will go with it as well.

Well, I think the regular (6") version is more than big
enough for a dinner table grinder, but nice sized for
cooking. Personally, I think the Magnum Plus would be
overkill. However, after a look at the Unicorn web page,
I think I'll add the "pepper gun" to my Xmas list -- I'd
like the one-handed operation for cooking purposes.
