Great shakers with convenient dock
Color: Silver, Size: Rechargeable
These are very nice. Work very well. My only complaint is right where I pick them up is the button to turn them in so I’m always accidentally salting the counters lol. Easy to refill. We like the lights. I love that they have a charging dock so they are always fully charged. Very happy with them.

You don’t have to shake it. I love it
Color: Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Different settings from fine to course. It has a light around the bottom where you can see how much you’re using. It stays charged for a while. The quality is great. Well made.
