Amazon.com Review
This 18/10 stainless-steel cheese grater manually grates small amounts of hard cheese, chocolate, nuts, or vegetables. To grate, place your food in the top of the hopper, press down on the holder, and turn the crank. The grater blade deposits your ground food out of the bottom of the hopper. The crank moves in either direction, making this cheese grater useful for both righties and lefties. For easy cleaning, the drum removes by flipping open the catch on the hopper and both pieces of the grater can go right in the dishwasher. Additional drums with finer and coarser grating holes are available seperately for this tool. --Cristina Vaamonde

 A solid performer December 16, 2007

I received this grater as a gift at least a year ago after the plastic handle on the grater I previously owned, which came from a high-end kitchen store, snapped off. I have not had any trouble with this grater and am surprised by the negative comments it has received. My drum has held up, the handle is solid, and it grates cheese quickly and efficiently. My only complaint is that on a few occassions I have pinched my finger on the clasp that closes the basket. (It is very tight.)
Keep in mind, however, that this is a small grater with small holes. It is for shredding cheese over your pasta or chocolate or nutmeg over your dessert. I do not recommend this grater for shredding large quantities of cheese or for soft cheeses; the basket is not very big and pressure on the top arm would simply mush soft cheeses through the small holes. If you need to grate a lot of cheese or soft cheese, a food processor is a better choice.

I researched and acquired this cheese grater after slicing the skin off of my knuckles with my old grater. This one is much safer and easier to use whether you're grating a small amount of parmesan for a single serving or enough for a family-sized dish. Easy to assemble, easy to use and easy to clean; it meets all of my critera for a kitchen gadget that will stay in the front of the drawer for years to come.
 Great for commercial use. April 6, 2007

Build tough and it lasts. The plastic ones don't compare. It is an excellent
product for restaurant use. Cannot beat metal. In use for over 1.5 years of daily use and it still works.
Good for hard cheeses, not so great for soft ones February 4, 2007

Asiago cheese works well in this grater, but softer cheeses like cheddar and especially mozzarella tend to get smooshed through instead of being grated.
Well made, poorly designed. January 28, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Yes, there is a rather large gap between the blades and the edge of the hopper, and yes the sheet metal that the cutting blade is made from is thinner than I'd like, but neither of these is what I find most annoying.
The cutting drum has two strips of plastic that act as a barring surface to prevent wear. (Un-lubricated stainless steel to stainless steel contact on a barring surface would cause spalling, and quickly wear out). Unfortunately if you look into the hopper, you see these barrings, The width of the cutting blades is a full quarter of an inch narrower than the width of the hopper. If you are grating anything hard you must carefully align the product between the barrings to prevent the product from hanging up on the barrings. All that would be needed to fix this issue would be to make the hopper narrower than the cutting blades, and put a flange at the bottom of the hopper for the barring to ride on.
Another disappointment.
