X Home Rotary Cheese Grater for Kitchen Shredder with 3 Interchangeable Blades Rotary Grater with Handle and Strong

The shredder came well packaged and quick. The unit goes together pretty straight forward and they did a great job in design to make the "chute" actually pointing down. The clear plastic snaps into the base, and you might have to work the release button a few times to get it to pull back off. Do the assembly a few time and it becomes a lot easier. NOTE: attach the base to a CLEAN wiped down counter top and for my unit, it really sucked down great and held steady. In initial assembly, DO use the suction to hold the base down before adding the clear plastic housing. The individual cutting drums are all assembled with their own plastic body so no need to do an assembly of parts when you change drums. The drum end has an open notch on opposite side, just line up the handle "notch" to one of the drum's open notches and it clicks right in. THIS hold it well in the cutting chamber. I made up hash brown potatoes VERY quick, in just seconds actually. It cuts the potato in small shreds quite easily. Clean up with potatoes was a breeze. Parts come apart easily and easy to merely rinse off under running water. Easy to clean. Potatoes are one thing, but cheese might take just a bit longer due to the nature of cheese. I buy Great Value Shredded Potatoes (hash browns) at Walmart the other day for $3.42 a 26oz bag, which equals $ 0.131/oz (roughly 13 Cents/Oz) I also bought 5 pound bag of potatoes at a cost of $3.77 = 80oz = $0.0471 per oz. So I can make shredded potatoes for hash browns, using potatoes at $ 4.7 cents / oz versus Frozen shredded potatoes at 13 cents/oz. Frozen potatoes would actually cost $10.40 to be the equivalent of 5# of potatoes. If you do the math, and eat a lot of hash browns for breakfast over the weeks and months, this unit pays for itself in saved money. I have only one thought is that if you shred a potato with one of those flat hand held shredders, you can go more "length" way of the potato and get longer shreds. This, because of the limited chute, will only take a potato inserted by it's long end. So you may not get the long shreds (if that is what you are after) but rather short length shreds. My wife does not care :) Bottom line: It saves money and may save you band aids for cut knuckles from using a hand held shredder. It is a LOT safer to use the pusher then to risk cutting your knuckles on a flat shredder. ADDENDUM: The large grater blades are not exceptionally sharp when I got it, but would work. I used my Dremmel Rotary tool with a long stone one uses to sharpen chain saw teeth and went into each hole methodically touching up the cutting edge. It is not razor sharp, but just that increase of sharpness made doing hashbrown potatoes SO much more effortless. It took a very good cutter and Made It Great! Even if you don't improve the cutting edge, it will still work alright. Just if you have the skill or know someone who is skilled with sharpening, you can touch up the edges if they wear down, or even improve the original cutters. Read more

This is a great cheese shredder. It is easy to put together, easy to use, and easy to clean. I love the teal color. Both the large shred and small shred blades worked well. I haven't used the slicing one yet. Read more

I love this grater so much—it has easily become one of my favorite kitchen tools. The quality feels solid, and the suction base actually holds it in place, which makes shredding feel safe and effortless. Cheese, veggies, even chocolate get shredded in seconds, and it saves me so much time during meal prep. Cleanup is quick and easy too. Once you use this, you won’t want to go back to manual shredding. A must-have for any busy kitchen! Read more

This shredder shreds cheese quickly and easily. One of my kids loves using it ... says it's easy and fun. I can shred cheese in less than half the time than with a standard grater or a mandolin, and there's no muscle strain from the repetitive motions of those other gadgets. It is also easy to assemble/disassemble, clean, and store. I did give it only four stars because the suction on the bottom of the base doens't always hold/stick well. Getting it a bit wet first does help some. Read more

Only used once but the suction hold is great and it shredded through a block of cheese in just a couple of minutes. Way faster! Definitely beats old school graters. Read more

This grater is super easy to use, convenient and sturdy. The suction works great. The release on the grater cylinders and chamber are the best - makes clean-up a breeze. No more holding slipping bowls or reaching in to a sharp grater to clean. One of the best products I have purchased lately! Read more

I'm lovin' it! Anything that makes food prep easier is a major plus in my book, and this is definitely a 5-star kitchen item which achieves that. I haven't tried all three blades yet because my primary goal was to find a better way to grate cheese, and this implement far surpasses using a box grater by100%. It is astounding how easily and quickly it grates a block of cheese. I like that the funnel feature is slanted downward which allows the cheese to fall out easily rather than collect in the barrel. (Tip: I find it easier to let it fall onto my flexible cutting board than into a bowl). I discovered it will grate a hard chunk of Parmesan easily, but if you want a finer grate, place the shredded cheese back into the feeder several times and re-grate it. You will end up with beautifully ground Parmesan, as fine as you want. The grater unit is a good design with its only flaw being the knob to trigger the suction is around the back. It's an awkward position for the wrist, and it takes some strength to turn the knob forward. To release it, you have to turn the knob counter-clockwise, which is easier. It would be easier with a lever to pull back and forth (like those counter-secured pencil sharpeners. Read more

This was a great little gadget and we loved it until it wasn't! After only one two uses the suction mechanism that holds it in place stopped working. This makes it now incredibly difficult to use. We didn't use it often , so lost the opportunity to return or exchange it. If anyone knows how to repair it we would love to keep it. Read more
