Pretty good, but could be sturdierBetween my parents and I, we have four different cheese grinders. The ones with plastic bodies and handles tend to be more comfortable to use, but hold up a little less well to hard use. This one, with all metal body and handle, is less comfortable to squeeze and grind, but holds up well and is easy to disassemble and put in the dishwasher.Over the long run, I prefer a grinder with a fatter grip as it’s easier to hold and to squeeze while grinding. Also, I’ll keep looking for one with interchangeable heads with different sized grating holes.

Just like the one your mother/grandmother had, but with a grippy base!Everything about this grater is great (grate!) with one exception. It’s Easy to grip and hold. Grating is pretty much effortless. The grippy base is a tremendous asset over the old-fashioned models.My one qualm is that the title suggests this is a heavy duty “Commercial” quality grater…It’s nice, but in no way would i consider this of “Commercial” level. The stainless steel used is fairly thin and I doubt it would take much rough and regular abuse before bending out of shape. But for the home kitchen and occasional to moderate use it will do the job admirably.

Place thumb in right spot of grate your thumb!I LOVE this grater. But- not so fast. I’ve had it maybe 2 months and one of the seals on the spinning cartridge came loose. It snapped back in but being flimsy plastic, i worry it’s only a matter of time before it goes all together.Warning- place your thumb on top of the door. If you have your thumb like a sideways thumbs up, you’ll grate your thumb knuckle with the handle.Easy enough to take apart and place in dishwasher for cleaning.My return window has closed which sucks since I’d like to get a new one in exchange for this one where the seal comes free from the spinner.MUCH better product than the plastic one I bought from another seller. Handle snapped on 2nd use. Again my return window had already closed.

Not well madeThe grater does work and grates the cheese but is flimsy and not well made. It goes through the dishwasher well but I am sure that it will break before too long.

Shreds easilyI use white towels and wanted them whiter without bleach. I came across a bar soap on Amazon that is intended for whitening fabrics. The directions are to shave/shred the bar a certain amount depending on the load size. This cheese grader worked perfectly to shred the bar. My son saw the product in the washer before I started the machine and thought I had lost my mind for putting grated cheese in the washer. That should let you know how good it worked out.
