are these manual or do they run on batteries??? thank you also, how tall are these and are the grinders identical for salt and pepper?

The grinder is manually operated by pumping the top. It is nearly 6 inches tall, 1 inch diameter. It feels heavy and sturdy, and it works very well. I get compliments on my salt grinder, and intend to order a second to use as a pepper grinder.

They're manual. They have a spring loaded plunger on the top that you press. It's really simple to use!

This is a manual grinder. You push the button on the top of the grinder. It is about 8 inches tall and has a clear window in it so you can see the peppercorns or the salt.

would guess they are identical... only one comes per 'set'. that's part of my gripe... about 6 inches tall... manual... already scraped the black finish off within days...

these are manual operating mills, they grind with a thumb press. they're roughly 6" tall. the same mill is used for both salt and pepper

The only difference between the two that I can see is that one has a black ring on top and the other a white ring. Both have 5 adjustment settings. They are pricy but I've had mine for a couple of years now and they work as good a brand new. Other salt & pepper mills wear out within about six months. Very worth the cost. I will purchase these again.

I have both the pepper and salt grinders. The internal workings of the two are the same - they both have ceramic grinders. The only difference, other than the salt coming pre-filled with salt and the pepper with pepper, is the ring around the OXO badge on the top of the grinder. The salt is white and the pepper is black.

Hello Elizabeth, This mill and all the mills similar to it do not come with batteries, they are an easy to use thumb operated mill. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I do not know of any tools or measuring devices that can give that answer. When you grind salt or pepper it is in irregular shapes. If you need a specifically consistent size of salt and pepper you should buy off the shelf commercially ground salt and pepper.

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!

There are no batteries. You simply fill the unit, and twist the top to release pepper grounds. There is a screw on the bottom to adjust the grind.

They are two separate compartments. Salt has its own grinder/lid and pepper has its own grinder/lid. You can empty, fill, or clean them individually.They are open and I've noticed that they tend to leave salt/pepper in my kitchen cabinet when I place them in there.

4-AA batteries. However, I wouldn't recommend buying this one. 1) Hard to change the batteries.2) Small holder for pepper.3) The top part is not too secured when flipped for grinding. Can be fell off if not careful.4) The cap is hard to put back without some attention.5) Low life. Only last about 7 or 8 months with mine.

If you're asking about two of the same items... I don't know. If you're asking about the matching salt and pepper, the salt shaker is just that. A container that holds an shakes or pours salt. The matching pepper grinder is a little larger, to accommodate the adjustable grinder. You fill the pepper grinder with peppercorns and grind the pepper, to the size of ground you prefer.

these are cutoff wheels not grinders. there like maybe a 32nd of an inch. these are pretty good cut off wheels I use them about every day.

Thank you Daniel. These are manual grinders. Design is unique because you set them down with base on counter and opening on top. No little grains to wipe up.

the bodum salt and pepper grinder has no batteries. In my opinion it is not easy to refill, because you have to pull VERY hard to take off the black plastic top and then try to clean trough a very narrow opening. It is very nice looking, but really not that practical.

Mine does not mill Himalayan salt. In fact I purchased a more expensive one as well and the course salt stripped the drive mechanism. I personally would not buy another battery operated mill

they do have a salt grinder, not a shaker. if you go to the pepper grinder and scroll down a bit you'll see it.

They are about ten inches tall. When they work, they are ideal. Sadly, whoever designed them never thought about long term effects of some of the finer salts. The other issues that will cause you to curse, is when attempting to open the device to replace batteries or refill the spice. Hope this helped.

It uses six AAA batteries. FYI, I haven't had to change mine very often and I use it every day. Also, I have one for salt and one for pepper and I absolutely love them!
