5 Star With Reservations.....!
I'm reserving future judgement on this product because this is the SECOND set I've purchased from Circle Joy HK. The first set I purchased was a similar model but had an internal grind adjustment. This new one is external and is easier to use.The main issue I had with the first set is that after 7 months, (past the warranty) I was preparing a meal and when I went to salt the sauce in the pan the entire grinder head came apart and fell in the sauce.Needless to say, I have a bit of apprehension with this purchase, but I'm willing to accept the breakage as a one off. All manufacturing has an expected reasonable percentage of manufacturing errors that may slip through QC and go out to the consumer. I understand that I could just be one of the unfortunate end users that fell into that very small percentile.That said, however, there is always the chance that the manufacturer has a serious quality control issue. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with this second purchase. Should something break prematurely again, I guess I'll have my answer and will update this review accordingly.For now I will say that this set looks really good, as they all do. The weight and feel in your hand is good. I especially like that there is a physical "slider switch" for the On-Off function. The other model I had was a pressure sensitive switch that was clunky and required too much pressure to operate.The external adjustment for the grinder head is a plus and so far works smoothly. You do, however, need to keep the grinder head cleaned, witch they did provide a little bush to do just that.All-in-all, this set is operating well, they look and feel great, and the price wasn't bad.The only thing I would suggest as an improvement would be to include a brighter led in future models as it just isn't that illuminating
