Cuisinart SG-3 Rechargeable Salt, Pepper and Spice Mill Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, Stainless Steel

Received Cuisinart salt, pepper, spice grinder. Set up, charged for 3 days, put salt & peppercorns in. Would not grind. Called Cuisinart, determined bad battery. Amazon replaced with no problem. 2nd grinder received promptly. Set it up. Charged 2 days. Put salt and peppercorns in. Would not grind. Called Cuisinart. Really, 2 in a row? Cuisinart is better than this, what is the issue? Cuisinart does not troubleshoot nor repair these grinders, only grinder they carry, return for replacement. This is unbelievable. Called Amazon, returning and not replacing thank you. Received return lable immediately to print here, mail both back in same box. Thank you, Amazon, very helpful and efficient, and I appreciate that.But. Can not let this go, has to be an explanation, because, really Cuisinart products are just simply great products. After a great deal of trial and error, the explanation is simple. In my opinion Cuisinart should have had this information to share. I was using Himalayan salt. I replaced that with course sea salt. In both grinders. Both grinders now process the peppercorns and the sea salt beautifully, in various grind sizes. Bottom line is these grinders do not have the power to grind the Himalayan salt.So if you want to grind Himalayan salt but a different grinder. But these work perfectly with sea salt.

**take 3 —- replacement was sent out and it’s AWESOME!!! Works perfect and it’s now my go to gift!!So disappointed!! See below for my first review and as of May 5th it no longer works!!! It's outside of the return window so no replacement for me...great idea but obviously not well made. DONT BUY THIS!!It was like an Amazon Prime movie -- I've had an expensive pepper grinder for years (Williams & Sonoma) but it took like 8-10 AAA batteries and was constantly running out of them. I was at my wits end making a large meal and sure enough -- NO MORE BATTERIES! I yell to my husband -- I wish there was a rechargeable pepper grinder! So I grabbed my phone - looked on Amazon and BOOM -- was at my door the next day! I LOVE the rechargeable aspect of it. It is super cool to have both chambers - I have my peppercorns in one end and my pink Himalayan salt in the other. Pat me on the back! LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

Oh, joyous day! The Cuisinart SG-3 Rechargeable Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill Mini Prep Plus Food Processor has graced my kitchen with its fleeting presence. What a rollercoaster of emotions this little contraption has put me through!At first glance, it seemed like a dream come true – compact, rechargeable, and ready to tackle the world of seasoning and spice. Ah, the joy of grinding peppercorns and salt with a touch of a button! But alas, this fairytale romance was short-lived.Within two months, the magic fizzled out, leaving me with a powerless, lifeless, and quite frankly, useless piece of machinery. I mean, come on Cuisinart, was it too much to ask for this thing to last longer than a summer fling?The rechargeable feature, well-intentioned as it may be, was more like a drama queen in disguise. It constantly needed pampering, begging for attention with its finicky battery life. "Charge me, charge me," it whined, demanding more care than a high-maintenance celebrity. Not to mention the charging dock taking up real estate on my already limited counter space. Bravo, Cuisinart, for adding clutter to my life.And let's not forget the customer support – a shining beacon of indifference! When I dared to seek help, I was met with the enthusiasm of a sloth on a sleepy Sunday afternoon. It's like they knew their product had an expiration date but chose to remain tight-lipped about it.Oh, Cuisinart, you really nailed the art of building something with built-in obsolescence. Bravo, indeed!So, to sum it up, the Cuisinart SG-3 Rechargeable Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill Mini Prep Plus Food Processor is like a shooting star – brief and awe-inspiring, but gone before you know it. Unless you enjoy short-lived romances and enjoy playing "find the charging cable" every other day, stay far, far away from this kitchen fling.Now, I'll be off to find a more reliable and committed kitchen companion – one that doesn't vanish into thin air just when things start getting interesting. Farewell, Cuisinart, you had your chance, but your enchantment has faded.
