Don't buy these grinders

This is really a cheap, deficient product.  The space where the spices should be dispensed is much too small, hardly anything comes out when used.  They are cheaply made, as well.  I'm returning these and suggest no one else buy them.

The grinder did not work properly.
I am extremely disappointed in the workmanship and design of this product.

Grinders didn't work.  Pepper corns jammed up.  Little plastic rings broke off immediately.  Not sure what they were for.  Have used grinders forever, but these don't seem to work.  Sent them back same day.

One grinder works great, the other makes a noise like it the motor is binding on the cover. Waited too long to take em out of the box, so i can't return it.

I bought these salt and pepper grinders for my wife for Christmas as I thought Cuisinart was a reputable brand. Unfornately, we have found that this product is complete garbage and I would love to return them, but the return time period has ended. DO NOT BUY!! The pepper grinder is worthless and doesn't grind anything. Pick another brand! It wouldn't let me give 0 stars or I would!

I sympathize with the other reviewers who said they should've known better than to spend a small amount for a burr grinder. If you want a burr grinder save up the money and get one that works. I switched back to my $30 blade grinder I purchased from my local coffee shop. That blade grinder provides a more consistent grind than this.

Trying to currently arrange warranty support on these after 2 years:

1. The dark brown 'wood' look of these is just an exterior skin, and is now peeling off and the grinders look terrible

2. The grinding mechanism has now seized and doesn't work on one of them.

Can't remember the last time something failed this badly

this is the worst grinder you can possibly buy, it is very poorly made, and it will put a silver paint in your meal , if you can get it to work at all!
THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT OR REFUND YOUR MONEY WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK!

DO NOT buy this grinder.  It is inexpensive, but you will wind up paying more in frustration.  I used it a few times, then it seemed broken, but I got it to start a few more times, and then dead.  In contrast, I have had a Braun grinder for about 35 years, and it is still working, but I needed a grinder for a 2nd house and my local store did not have Braun, so I tried this instead.  After it broke, I bought a Kitchen-Aid, and it has been fine for the last 2 years.

Loved this grinder for the first couple months until one of the "ear" handles broke off. Bad design, bad material choice, bad product....do NOT buy.

I purchased this grinder from Amazon (fulfilled by GencoDeals).  It worked great for 4 months light use (once daily) then broke.  It will not grind the coffee beans at all!  Neither Amazon, Bodum nor the seller,  GencoDeals will accept a return even though the product is supposedly under warranty for 1 year.  Do not buy this product or anything from a secondary seller other than Amazon LLC.

This grinder produces a wide variety of gind sizes from very coarse down to fine espresso.  The only problem is that is produces all of these grind sizes at the same time, no matter what grind size you have it set for.  Even at the most coarse setting it gives lots of very fine powdery grinds mixed in.  The discharge chute plugs up with powder and they include a brush that is supposed to help you clean that out.  Good idea, but the size and shape of the brush doesn't fit in there so it is completely useless.  Absolutely uselss.  It makes me wonder whey they included that brush.  Maybe they got a deal on some brushes that were designed for some other use and thought they would just throw them in.  There is a safety switch on the lid that shuts the unit off if you open the lid.  The problem is that the switch has a lot of slop in it and I have to push down on the lid constantly to keep the unit from shutting off during grinding.  That is annoying as hell.  On the positive side, I do like the power cord storage underneath the unit.  So if you like appliances with nice cord storage, then I suggest you buy this grinder.  If you want well ground coffee, then I suggest not buying this grinder.

I have been unfortunate enough to have had several Black and Decker power tools in my lifetime.  They have all been underpowered, fragile, poorly designed pieces of crap.  With this grinder, Black and Decker has continued that tradition.  The price was low, I will admit that, but since it was a complete waste of money, the low price is meaningless.  Would have been just as useful giving $20 to my dog and telling him to grind my coffee. I am returning this grinder to the store this week.

I recently purchased two of these grinding wheels and quickly came to the same conclusion that a lot of other people have: Norton bushings are a joke; which renders the wheels virtually useless.  With these wheels, my grinder vibrates so badly that I'm afraid to use it.  I'm trying different things to try to salvage them, without success so far.  I'm afraid that I'm going to have to toss them and buy wheels made by anyone but Norton.  (I need to add that I bought my wheels from a source other than Amazon.)

Very disappointed with these grinders.  The black pepper grinder never really worked properly but it was good enough...just bigger chunks of pepper than I would usually use and adjusting made no difference.  Just a short time later a black ring fell off the inside near the grinding mechanism and it no longer worked.  I just realized that this happened a day or so after my "return window" was closed.  Really not impressed because Target would take back a defective product after that much time.  Won't order this type of item from Amazon again because it is not worth the hassle.

I do not recommend this grinder.  The self cleaning "chamber" feature is great, but after a couple of months of use, the plastic arms broke, up at the top where they "tee" with the circular ring.  What this translates to is a lot of fiddly work to get it back together after washing it.  It's so bad I rarely wash it now, and I am -- yet again -- researching for a new coffee grinder.  Sigh.

I bought these about a year ago. The peper one broke will barely grind any more and the salt one always leaked out salt while it was in the cupboard. I would not reccomend

I used the grinder 2 times and it quit working.  Not what I expected from Cuisinart!!!
