Is it worth it?

Only for a host who wants electric mills. The CIRCLE JOY set is two rechargeable stainless steel mills on a stand, each with a ceramic grinder, an outside dial for coarseness and a light underneath. It is not the classic wooden or acrylic manual mill, and the catch is the one we looked for first: there is no brand warranty on the listing at all, let alone a lifetime one on the mechanism. They cannot go in the dishwasher, the brand says not to wash the body under water, and only nine were left when we checked.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A host who cooks one-handed and wants a button rather than a twist
  • Anyone who likes to see the grind: a light shines down as it works
  • A modern kitchen where steel suits better than wood
Skip it if
  • Anyone after a traditional manual mill with a lifetime mechanism warranty
  • A host who puts everything in the dishwasher
  • A table where nobody wants one more thing to charge

The honest read

What wins you over
  • Electric, with USB-C charging, so no batteries to buy
  • Ceramic grinders with the coarseness dial on the outside, so the spice is not touched to change it
  • A light underneath to show where the salt is landing
  • Dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • No brand warranty is stated anywhere on the listing, only Amazon's standard legal cover; the lifetime mechanism warranty we were looking for is not there
  • Not dishwasher safe, and the brand says not to wash the electric body with water
  • Only nine left at the time of checking, and the listing points to a newer version of the same set
  • The listing does not say the base charges the mills; a separate variant is sold with a charging base, so expect to charge by cable

How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026

Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (15 October 2026).

  • Stainless steel and plastic body, the ceramic grinders, the external coarseness dial, the light, USB-C charging with a cable included, three items in the set (two mills and a base), the 95ml container, the size (7.6 by 19.7cm) and the weight (650g) taken from the Amazon UK listing for the Rechargeable Set With Base, checked 15 October 2026.
  • The catch is on the listing: it shows no manufacturer warranty, only Amazon's general legal-warranty notice; its details say not dishwasher safe; its notes say not to wash the electric part under water; it shows only nine in stock.
  • Sold by CIRCLEJOYEU and dispatched by Amazon, with a standard Add to Basket button and only nine left at the time of checking.

CIRCLE JOY electric salt and pepper mills: questions answered

Are the CIRCLE JOY salt and pepper mills electric?
Yes. Both mills are electric and recharge by USB-C, with a cable included. They are not manual twist mills.
Do the CIRCLE JOY mills have a warranty?
The listing states no brand warranty. Only Amazon's standard legal warranty notice appears, so there is no lifetime cover on the grinding mechanism.
Can the CIRCLE JOY salt and pepper mills go in the dishwasher?
No. The listing says they are not dishwasher safe, and the brand says not to wash the electric part under water.
Does the base charge the CIRCLE JOY mills?
The listing does not say so. A different version is sold with a charging base, so with this one expect to charge each mill by the USB-C cable.
