So I said "honestly if it broke next week I would buy another one, that's how much I love it." in this review. Well guess what? I broke it and (after crying my eyes out) I purchased another one that came today. The break has nothing to do with the quality of the grater! It was totally my fault because the clear plastic barrel was a bit hard to get off and I whacked it with my fist which caused it to fly through the air and bounce around on my tile floor, which cause it to chip and send pieces everywhere. Let's hope I can keep this one! Oh how I wish I purchased this sooner because EVERYONE would be getting one for Christmas! This little cheese (and veggie and whatever else) grater is amazing! I just grated 2 one-pound blocks of mozzarella in under 3 minutes...no lie! As soon as I cleaned up, I came to my computer because I just had to write a review. I grate a LOT of cheese every week - cheddar for our weekly Taco Tuesday nachos and tacos, mozzarella, pecorino romano and provolone for casseroles and chicken parm, and 4 blocks of Alpine Cheddar when I make my home-made macaroni and cheese. Standing with the box grater at the kitchen counter for who knows how long was just getting to be too much. I am only 5' 2" so I could never really get the leverage needed to make it a speedy (and non-exhausting) task. Never mind trying to keep the box grater from dancing around the counter and trying not to grate my fingers in the process! This grater is quick to assemble and dis-assemble (makes clean up a snap!) and then can be stored right back in the box. I have Formica counter tops and the suction cup kept the grater right in place. I suspect it would be just as good on any stone counter top. The turn knob on the side makes it easy to stick in place and easy to remove with just a twist of the knob. Three different cartridges allow you to grate a nice variety of items - fine grate for more delicate cheeses or chocolate; medium grate (I used this one tonight for the mozzarella for our pizza) for cheese, carrots, veggies; and the slice cartridge for veggies (I am going to use it for zucchini next). It seems to be quite sturdy as well and honestly if it broke next week I would buy another one, that's how much I love it. You won't go wrong with this. And it comes in a fun variety of colors!

I dread shredding cheese, and usually buy pre-shredded to save time and wrist/hand pain, as I have carpal tunnel in both hands/wrists. But then I kept seeing this same giant block of cheese on sale at my local grocery store, and couldn't pass it up anymore. I bought the block of cheese, but needed to solve my problem of shredding it. I was afraid it would end up staring back at me in the fridge every time I opened it up, and eventually go bad. I was looking for something similar to what they use at Olive Garden to shred the fresh cheese on your food, and then..... I found this amazing product! What I like about this product: It's nice and sturdy! The parts are all plastic, but they don't feel like they're going to shatter if I look at them the wrong way. The unit snaps together very cleanly with little effort, and comes apart just as easy to toss in the dishwasher for cleaning. I LOVE the suction feature on the bottom of the unit, which keeps the whole thing in place while you're rotating the arm and shredding the cheese. I shredded the giant 6lb block of cheese in around 10 minutes. The hand crank is very easy to rotate and drastically reduces the time it takes to shred your favorite blocks of cheese. What I don't like about this product: The suction cup doesn't always stick. You have to make sure that the bottom of the unit is completely clear of any particles, because any surface difference between the bottom of the shredder and your countertop will break that seal and cause it to come loose. Also, you will need to shred slower than you'd like if you don't want the barrel to get clogged with cheese. If you rotate it at a slower pace, you can still clear it out manually fairly easy, but also the cheese tends to roll out much more often when you go slower. If you rotate it too fast, the cheese goes into the barrel too fast, and gets stuck. That's when you have to take it apart and clear the clog before you can reassemble the unit and keep shredding. Overall I recommend this over any standard flat or box cheese grater, especially if you have wrist or hand strength issues. Score: 4.5/5

Takes the effort out of shredding or grating. Clean up was simple. Base holds to counter with no signs of slipping, the size of the barrel allows cheese to just pour out with clogging, the the simplicity of the design makes assembly a breeze.

Works great, super easy to clean (I hand wash though it is dishwasher safe), suction works great, and shreds cheese, veggies like a champ. Great value for the money

I have an expensive food processor, and while it is capable of doing everything- the time it takes to assemble it and then clean it after use is quite time consuming. We usually use our electric processor for mainly grating cheese, so when I saw this one on YT, I thought why not? It’s not as powerful (obviously), as my OG processor, however this little cranker sets up in seconds and grinds cheese like a breeze. It was sturdy, and fit on my counter super easy, the locking mechanism keeps it tight and no need to worry about it slipping around. All in all, it’s great when you need to grate something on the fly but don’t want to lug out your big processor. I 100% recommend. My husband actually does our cheese grinding now when we use this, because he actually finds this gadget to be fun. Just get yourself one, it’s far more gratifying than a box grater and so much easier for daily tasks. Lastly, cleaning is so much faster, between this and my processor I own, this will take far less time to clean and put away, no doubt.

I like to buy the real parmesan cheese which comes in a block and is a hard cheese. I got fed up with having to haul out my food processor or grating my fingers on a hand grater. This item makes short order of grating any cheese, because the handle makes it easy and effortless to turn, making it as quick as any electric one. It has a slicer insert and a finer grater insert, which work equally well and are easy to assemble and clean. It can be used for numerous slicing grating applications and cleans up very easily by hand, no need for the dishwasher. The best part is that it only has a small footprint for storing, great for someone that has only limited space, plus it saves a lot of time from hauling out the food processor or the mixer and its attachments. The only downside i have found, is that it is so light weight it does not stay stuck to my counter with the suction cup that is underneath.

Update -the lock device holds down when it wants to hold down, and the rest of the time pops and unlocks so that your shredded cheese goes everywhere. Dropping to one star. Will update again if necessary. I got this because I have arthritis and needed a one-hand operation. +it does lock down well and works quickly +better on arthritic hands than the manual graters +I enjoy not hanging my hands grated every time I need shredded cheese. -every time I use this, There is cheese build up - sometimes the build up is very difficult to get out. -a faff to take apart and clean every time -a faff to store s as it does take up quite a lot of space. -pretty pricey for what it is I am debating returning this, as every time I use it, I have to pull out the bits that get stuck inside.
