These work fine, but aren't as sturdy or large as my other set. I have a set I really love, and wanted to buy a second set for different pepper varieties. But that set is not available, sadly, so I looked around and bought this set. It's smaller, therefore holds less, is acrylic instead of glass and seems not to be built as well. But, I won't be using the pepper inside these as often as I use the other as they're both a more specialized variety for specific recipes. So, even though these were 30% more expensive than the first set, they'll do the job. The adjustment knob on top is a bit finicky and also has a little play in them that I don't like, but they will grind coarse to fine, so it's okay, as long as the adjustment knobs continue to function.
I do like the rechargeable aspect, and the gravity dispense; I only looked at that type as I previously went through multiple sets of manual grinders, and also push button grinders that dispensed from the bottom. I hated both types as the first required the use of two empty hands, which is not always easy when in the middle of cooking, and the bottom dispense types left a mess behind no matter where I set them down, which was a deal-breaker. So. a gravity style is the only type I consider anymore.
But, truthfully, if my preferred set becomes available again, this set will be given away and I'll buy the set I originally wanted. If this set's quality was a little better, I'd be totally happy, but, for now, it'll do. I can't speak to the longevity as I've only had the set a short time, but if a problem arises, I'll update this review.
