Solid State & Spicy. Most pepper mills stink. We hate the plastic and lucite modern ones that get cloudy over time, as well as the wooden ones that seem to collect the grime of the kitchen and are tricky to clean. In fact we hate the premise that pepper mill and salt shaker should be matchy-matchy, since these two amazing condiments do not need to be any cuter.
In all our days, the best pepper mill we have ever had is the aluminum Perfex. It grinds perfectly. It is easy to clean. It never needs tightening. It is a classic, and as far as we can tell, has no competition. It also costs more, but is well worth the price.

Yes, Perfex is good.
However I am now seeing some mills that are motorized (press a button on the top) and have a light on the bottom so you can see the food. This means you can operate them with one hand. This is cleaner because often one hand is dirty from turning food.
How about those, what do you think?
My Perfex mill spontaneously quit working. The grinder mechanism rotates but it doesn't seem to "catch" the pepper, so nothing comes out. I took the lifetime guarantee on this product seriously, so am seriously disappointed at this malfunction. Does anyone have any advice? In the meantime, I bought an OXO...
Nhoal: It is broken. Why not contact the vendor for repair replacement
Hi! i would like to know if you where i can get those "perfex mills" in Canada...
Thank's
Our Perfex pepper mill has circular abrasions under the crank handle on the top of the mill. Should there be a washer between the handle and the mill? Would anyone look at their Perfex to see if there is a washer?
Is there a repair service for this product?
Thanks.
