I bought a cheaper one before this one, broke on day 1. This one is solid build quality. Shredded cheese so fast I can put a lot of torque on the Wheel to spin it easy to use. đ

Works great. Easy to handle, made better than previous style, although mine was over 20 years old.The handle screws in now making it more secure. Love it!

With a bit of effort grates 10 year aged Parmesan, cheese hard like a rock. Looks well made, white reenforced plastic of sorts with a scary sharp stainless drum and a soft rubber like material on the handle end. One drawback, when grating aged cheese, the drum puts a lot of pressure on the handle/drum connection, a coarse thread like connection that becomes very very tight and difficult to undo for cleaning. Under ânormalâ circumstances, its easy to clean, the loading area is big enough for a good chunk of cheese, about 60 by 45mm.

As the name suggests it's GRATE (and great!). Does the job well holding up to hard cheeses like parmesan and grates with ease. Clean up is easy and we've found that there is not a lot of "trapped cheese" (cheese that hets stuck in different parts of the grater). Overall, good choice!

Iâm about to purchase my second zyliss rotary cheese grater. I bought mine nearly 4 years ago and have used it on a near daily basis for the last 4 years. I keep it in a large ziplock bag with a wedge of Parmesan in the fridge at all times so that I can always have freshly grated Parmesan.Iâve grated countless pounds of cheese with this little powerhouse and literally canât imagine my life without it. It finally kicked the bucket today and a plastic component snapped. The grater worked perfectly for 4 intensely cheesy years and I hope to have many more cheesy years ahead! Cheers! đ§

It grates. It produces a nicely fine product. The harder the cheese, the better it works. But. It does not clean easily. The simple rigid curved steel 'file' type does the same job and cleans up much easier. Unlike the file type, you are much less likely to grate the end of your fingers. After using, the crank handle does not unscrew easily. You must find a way to grip the other end to keep it from turning as you try to unscrew the crank handle. as the mechanism is cloged with tiny bits of cheese Cleaning the grate itself requires lots of hot water and a short bristle brush. I use an old tooth brush. I am reluctant to put the grater plate in the dish washer because the typical detergent will eat up thin stainless steel.

We have used a ZYLISS cheese grater for years (I'm guessing at least 20) with never an issue, so when the rotary blade started to finally get a bit dull I wanted to replace it with a ZYLISS. This one grates a bit finer than the original but it's still the perfect grater for us. Easy to have at the table loaded with a chunk of parmesan for a fresh grate of cheese on your pasta or salad. Easy to disassemble for washing up and cleans up very readily. Nice little option with the new version is that it can be used right or left-handed - our older version was strictly right-handed operation. Would highly recommend.

I bought this because my Microplane rotary grater broke, and the latter is no longer available for purchase (why???). I use it exclusively for hard parmesan cheese.The Zyliss grater has many similarities with the Microplane grater, and they both work pretty well, although they both have the same defect: they flex a lot and are fragile. Note that, unlike most other rotary graters on the market, the Zyliss grater has the same acid-etched microblades as the Microplane. These make a HUGE difference. The microblades are far superior to the conventional blades, both for ease of grating (requiring less pressure and torque, and allowing greater speed), and quality of the result (thin slivers of cheese instead of rough fragments).Given that these blades work so well, it is annoying that nobody is selling a sturdier grater with them. A user of either grater needs to place their thumb directly over the cheese pusher to apply the correct force, because the handle flexes too much. Similarly, the user must be careful about how they hold the side handle (the part that rotates) in order to apply a clean torque to the cylinder, without sideways forces that can make the side handle break off. This can be learned, but never perfectly, and makes the device fragile, especially in inexperienced hands.Compared to the Microplane grater (see photo: the Zyliss grater is the white one on the left) this feels slightly sturdier, but it is probably more fragile, because the torque is transmitted via a small shaft rather than along the entire side of the cylinder. The cylinder is slightly smaller, and so is the surface available for grating. There are fewer blades on the Zyliss, and they are larger. Thus the Zyliss is smaller and slower, and the cheese flakes are larger. I prefer the smaller flakes from the Microplane, but I am also happy with the larger ones.Unless the Microplane becomes available again, this is the one to buy. The flat graters are OK but much less convenient, and one cannot shave the crust as far without risking their fingertips.
