Note from Day Undefined:
Update: Two people have written to us saying that their product has jammed and stopped working. While we love the design of this product, we do have questions about its durability. Please take this into account when you consider purchasing.
Correction: In the current video demo of this product (scroll to bottom), Mike indicates that the arrows on the device adjust the coarseness of the grind; however, the coarseness of the grind is actually adjusted with a knob on top of the device. The arrows on the side need to be aligned to open the battery compartment.
Where you can find this product:
Amazon - Gravity Electric Salt & Pepper Grinders by Sweet Alice
Update: Mike's biggest con is that this gravity set uses a lot of batteries, and we are here to say that rechargeable models do exist! We have not reviewed them, but here is one such model. We encourage you to find the product that is best for you.

Product Review by Mike: (meet our team)
You know, life is all about making things easier, and these grinders seem to have that in mind.
Pros:
Change is a constant, and these grinders bring a welcome change to the kitchen game. The one-hand automatic operation is a great feature. No more wrestling with manual grinders. Just a simple tilt.
The adjustable coarseness is another feature. Whether you're in the mood for a fine dusting or a hearty sprinkle, these grinders let you choose between textures with ease. Plus, the LED light adds a touch.
The stainless-steel black looks sharp. They bring that modern, classy vibe to your countertop.
The knob on the top of each unit controls the size of the grind. So, depending of your preference, it is extremely easy to adjust.
Cons:
Change might be inevitable, but it can be a bit intimidating. Some might argue that the learning curve with the one-hand automatic operation takes some getting used to. But once you've got the hang of it, it's smooth sailing.
The battery-powered feature. It means no wrist strain from manual grinding. On the other hand, you've got to keep an eye on those batteries. But hey, it's a small price to pay for the convenience they offer. It would be better as a rechargeable unit, in my opinion.
In the end, these Gravity Electric Pepper and Salt Grinders seem like a solid addition to the kitchen. They bring a touch of innovation, convenience, and style.

Mike demonstrates using the gravity electric salt and pepper grinders. A blue light activates when the device is tilted down and grinding.
