Can you use the pepper mill without the batteries, i.e. can you also use in manually?

no, it only works with the batteries when you push a button. There is nothing to twist manually

It's a little harder to turn than the old fashioned pepper mills. You need a pretty good grip on this one. It does a great job, but you might look into the electric pepper mills if your hands are that weak.

I do not think that you can manually slew it. For me I bought rechargeable battery and it saves a lot.

You can use either one. It comes with an adapter so you can use it without batteries.

If you read the instruction manual, you'll find that the internal battery can be replaced. I've had mine for a few years and only had to replace the internal battery once. . . and that was just for one of the mills. Well worth it! I love this product and have purchased it for friends. BTW, Cuisinart sells this product for $60, not $110. The $48 price is good and can be purchased at BB&B; for the same with their 20% off coupon.

My salt and pepper grinders did not come with a stand. They require no batteries and are new from the factory. Thank you.

Didn't come with a stand. No batteries are needed. You just push down on them to grind out pepper and salt. I saw them at a restaurant and thought they were really cool. These work just like the ones at the restaurant.

There are no batteries. You simply fill the unit, and twist the top to release pepper grounds. There is a screw on the bottom to adjust the grind.

As far as I know the BODUM salt/pepper grinder does not have batteries... The one I had was manual - refilling could be a bit messy as you basically just pop off the bottom of the mill - sometimes the peppercorns flew all over the place so it was best to hold a towel over it while opening to refill.

Yes. It has a battery and I have used it both ways which is the reason I bought it. If I need to use it without electricity I can just as well.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

It can be used the same way you use any other blender or kitchen appliance. My habit I unplug my kitchen appliances when not in use. I truly enjoy my vitamix and you will also. Hope I answered your question.

Manually operated, however very easy with the nice grip on the bottom. No batteries required!

We have only used it as a corded appliance. Never had to rely on the batteries. So sorry, but we love the machine, makes sleeping much easier, and in an apartment, is indispensable!

No, you do not. I just opened this and set it up for the kids and it does not contain batteries out of the box. I was able to open the drawer (Open button) and sort the coins. It's a mechanical release and will function without batteries. You can also put coins through the coin slot without the batteries. The scale works as well without batteries. Everything else this item does requires them.

Yes, I do that several times when I want to not use the battery and make big chnages. I would recommend slewing manually for coarse adjustments. Doing fine maybe a bit tough.

You can use it no problem, but keep the batteries in. There is no reason to remove them. I used mine that way with no problems.
