This grater is serious! It's large, takes up a lot of space to store it, and is a little odd in how it holds the cheese (that's all I have used it for so far.) Of course, you probably know that just by looking. You wouldn't buy a cheese grater that costs the high side of $100 to sprinkle a little cheese on your salad. You'd buy it to grate some serious food. I had two blocks of cheese, 8 oz each, and I almost wish I had more. This thing is fast and quiet. It's solid and grated both blocks in about 3 minutes, most of which was putting the shredded cheese away. You put in your cheese, turn the crank, and it just silently grates the snot out of your cheese. You pull this out to grate up those 5 lb blocks of Mozzarella for your pizzas, or to slice blocks for cracker trays or something. It's pretty easy to clean, and comes with a nice stainless steel bowl. So far, my only dislikes are the size of the thing and you can't grate the very end of the cheese. The last 1/2" or so just passes out, but I just call that a snack! If you're like me and hate dragging out the food processor or salad shooter to grate a lot of cheese, this may be just what you're looking for. It's sturdy, mostly made of metal and I expect it to last a long time! Now, where to put it when I'm not using it... Read more
Love it and use it everyday! This grater/ mandolin is made of stainless steel, so no plastic parts touching the cheese or vegetables, which was very important to me. Strong and well-made, it grates and dices perfectly every time. We are now able to add beetroot, carrots and cabbage effortlessly to our salad. Our meals are more vibrant and less time-consuming because of this purchase! Read more
The media could not be loaded. Fantastic. Base detaches for each storage, blades lock into place with a twist. Only complaint is the plastic guard up to but no biggie to me personally. Honestly more impressed with how sleek it all looks than i expected to be. Simple to clean, makes work of any veg in seconds, easy enough I'd trust a mature kid to use it while supervised. Price could be slightly better but i expect the lifespan will justify it. Read more
This rotary grater is good. The grater body is very heavy duty and works great. Smooth bearings and the suction cups are good so far. But they do need to make the suction cups available for separate purchase just in case they wear out. The rotary cutters are made from 304 stainless steel which is exactly what I wanted as they will never rust and you can really scrub them clean. The only issue I have is with the cutting edges. 304 stainless steel just isn't great for a cutting edge. And they just aren't bent very well. Plus there is no common style cheese grater (big and small) attachment for it, and the fries cutter doesn't cut square fries. And they need the strain slicer for thin slices and thicker slices. Same for the crinkle cutter. In my opinion, they need to offer premium cutters. Even if they are available for seperate purchase. They need to make the body out of the 304 stainless steel, but then attach a higher quality stainless steel knife edges like 316 or 17-7 cutters that are better shaped, and offer more variety of cutters than just the ones they have. I would be willing to buy a premium slicer rotary cutter for even like $30 or $40 as long as it was razor sharp and had a much higher quality cutter. Read more
I searched and read and watched video for about 100 products for manual grating, slicing cheese and vegetables (including making waffle fries). I did not want electric or anything with plastic exposure to food or breakable parts. This one was perfect! Very sturdy, processes well, nothing but cups to wash/disinfect (you can wipe the top presser). Easy and fast rotary action. Shredded 2 pounds-6 cups of cheddar in a few minutes. Then made 4 cups of sweet potato waffle fries. I make a lot of veggie burgers for freezing and grate a lot of root veggies. Used to wear me out using a mandelein or processor. The hand rotary allows me to vary/control the pressure and speed. The different cups for grating/ slicing are very easy and quick to change. Handsome appearance so I just keep it on the counter. Top quality all metal material (one plastic part- the top little presser that goes on top of what you are grating to protect your hand). Very happy Read more
Bought it for my family members as well. Grates blocks of cheese in an instant. Has transformed my cooking. Extremely durable. Don't waste your time with cheaper plastic rotary graters or handheld graters, as this makes it so easy Read more
This shredder works like a charm. It’s easy to move from the counter to storage and shreds smoothly every time. I use it for cheese, cucumber, cabbage, and beets, which makes it easy to prepare fresh salads and coleslaw and get more vegetables into my meals each week. For cleaning, I use a bristle scrub brush, which cleans it great and I run it through the dishwasher every once in a while for a deep cleaning. Read more
My son decided that Mac’n’Cheese would be *his thing*. He’s gotten really good at it, but every batch uses around 7 cups of grated cheeses, and heaven forbid he had to use pre-shredded cheese. Even I can admit that shredding your own cheese, without the anti-clumping additives does make a big difference. Anyways, if you have to grate or shred more than a cup of cheese, this is the tool for you. Easy cleanup, too. Just chuck it in the dishwasher. And there are a bunch of other attachments for grating, shredding, and slicing. Cheese, potatoes, cucumbers, all a breeze. Read more
