I've had both a Peugeot and a Perfex since the early 1970s and neither show
signs of wear or deterioration. The large Peugeot is used primarily in the
kitchen while cooking, the Perfex at the dining table, and both see daily
use. A good mill should last a very long time as long as it isn't
subjected to adverse conditions.
