Only useful for hard cheeses

Even cheeses like cheddar are too soft for this grater. The shredded cheese just mushes together inside the drum, and it is difficult to get out! If you try to use something to get the shredded cheese out, it just makes it even clumpier, and then it is hard to clean. It works pretty well for...

Don't buy this

Here's why this cheese grater is awful:- The swivel handle is too close to where you hold the grater, so there is no clearance; you can't rotate it freely without hitting the hand that's holding the grater- You have to put a lot of pressure on the handle to squeeze the cheese against the grating...

Great Grater!

I have been looking around for a cheese grater, I always see these types of graters at restaurants, when I saw it on Amazon, I had to buy! It is awesome! The ease of use and easy break down for cleaning is great! I would recommend this to anyone, no more scrapped knuckles

Not very good for people with small hands

I found it was easy to take apart and clean, but using it is a little bit awkward. In order to create enough pressure to grate quickly, I have to hold it higher up than it was designed (because my hands are smaller/weaker than it was designed for?) If I hold it like designed, the cheese isn't...

zyliss cheese grater

This is a replacement for one we wore out after many years. The new one is even better & has a thicker plastic, so I'm sure it will last even longer.

Don't load cheese near the handle

This product is very easy to use, simple to disassemble, and it does do a good job grating cheese - but with one problem. If you load the entirety of the hopper, the cheese that's grated in the back of the drum near the handle mashes together and gets stuck in a big glob. I had to soak the drum...

Very good (and fun!) for hard cheese grating

It's a lot of fun and very simple using this to very quickly shred a little parmesan over plates of fresh pasta and salad, restaurant style! I agree with another review that this does a great job with parmesan cheese, but I've tried grating some other slightly softer cheese with it and it just...

Works great!

For a long time I've been looking for a good cheese grater! This one apart from being really nice, it does the job incredibly well. It is smaller than my previous grater, but it works better and it's definitly much easier to clean. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

"Classic" means the way things used to be done.

I bought this cheese grater based on the positive reviews it got in this space. While the Zyliss classic grater is well made and fits my hand nicely, it is a very slow way to grate cheese compared to the MicroPlane graters in my kitchen gadget collection. After several minutes of cranking the...
