Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater with Handle, Stainless Steel/Plastic, White, Grating Cheese/Garlic/Parmesan/Ginger/Vegetable/Carrot/Chocolate, Dishwasher Safe

My kids absolutely loved getting involved in cooking and grating cheese... Easy to use

This is the third style we have had in three months. It is sturdy and grates well, but cheese gets stuck in the grater and not all of it is grated. A bit fiddly to clean inside the grater. But having said that, I think it’s the best I have used. I just hope someone can come up with a better product.

It makes grated cheese with so little effort and no mess for cleaning up afterwards, I just love it.It can be setup for left- or right-handed operation. But it can be tricky to operate to some as on one hand you need to hold, press cheese down to the grater cylinder and hold the position of the grater opening to where you want the grated cheese to go. You then use the other hand to turn the grater cylinder handle to produce grated cheese. Skilful hands would definitely help or may be a few practices.The press handle can be tricky to clean as cheese can stick here and there in the chamber where it takes cheese in but you’ll be fine with a small brush/toothbrush; the grater cylinder isn’t anymore difficult to clean than regular graters, I hold the two ends of it with my fingers and brush it with soapy water. If you plan to wash it in a dishwasher, read the instructions before you do so as the grater cylinder can damage coating of a dishwasher tray. I don’t wash it after one use but put it in a bowl or something like that and leave it in the fridge if I would use it the following day.Thought it make it easy to get small amount of grated cheese without making a mess. Without it I tend to grate entire piece of hard cheese, save the grated cheese in a shaker bottle that I don’t know how soon I could finish and leave a bit of a mess to clean up afterwards. I could now cut a small piece of hard cheese and leave the rest fresh for grating next time I need.I do think this is a good investment to me but do require skilful hands or a few practices for the intended purpose.

Very disappointed with this it really only seems to work with hard cheese and extremely difficult to take apart for cleaning

I have purchased several Zyliss products over the years and they are usually good.I had a Moulis grater years ago and it was excellent at grating cheese.Sadly this one is no good for cheese at all and I wanted a grater predominantly for grating cheese.I assumed it would be ideal from the description.The cheese gets lodged in the grater and in the drum so I have to get a knife inside the drum to scrape cheese out and unclog the drum. I made more mess than using my box grater and wasted time unclogging the drum.Sadly I assumed, as it was a Zyliss, that it would work fine and put the box into the recycling before checking its operation outReally disappointed and £16.00 poorer with nothing to show for it.Although it has a 5 year guarantee I can't return it minus the box so £16 down the drain with this oneReally disappointed in a Zyliss product.

I have owned this style of grater previously (different make) which evetually broke after a few years of use. I've made do with a traditional cheese grater ever since, but finally got so fed up with my other half moaning about grating parmesan that I bought this. I am very sorry to say he was totally right to moan! Grating with this is a blooming delight and I feel an idiot for not getting one sooner. Grates well and you don't have to use too much pressure. Its easy to disassemble to put in the top rack of the dishwasher. Just can't fault it. Brilliant product worth every penny.

Disappointed as cheese gets stuck in barrel and difficult to get out, used a different similar make for many years but broke, used the new one once and took me so long to get the cheese out and also it’s a very fine grater.Returning tomorrow, wouldn’t recommend.

Very good for hard cheese, not so much for soft but that’s not what I got it for
