Really enjoying this grater

Longer stroke and sharper teeth and better angle than the old box grater style things I've been using for a lifetime.  Also love that it folds up to a point that it fits into a drawer in the kitchen.  Mostly use it for cheese grating.

I used this model at a friends house and promptly looked for it on Amazon and ordered it.  This is the best micro plane grater I have ever used. I have not accidentally grated my knuckles, the stuff I grate is fine, things like citrus zest are contained in the back side until I invert the grater and tap it out, and it has a nice cover.

My mother bought me this grater because she saw me crying in pain trying to grate hard cheeses with my old grater, and this is great!! You can change the direction of the blades to suit your style, and everything hard moves over it soooo smoothly!

Do make sure you use the proper blade for softer cheeses like Mozarella & Cheddar (vs Parmesan, Romano), or you will be grating forever because of the fine texture. The fine texture also brings out the flavor in Romano extremely well.

As a side note - My handle keeps sliding off and annoying me, but not enough to make me get a different one. It's dishwasher safe too!

I looked in my drawer for this review, and I'm afraid to report I own 8 graters.  I am apparently a fiend for it; I use them all, for different things.  I grate a lot of cheese and I do have a cheapy stamped box grater that I use for that.

But this is much better.  It's still stamped chrome steel, but the base has a no-skid, scratchless rubbery rim so you can hold it firm on a cutting board or in a large bowl with no fear.  The handle extends well away from the grater and is wide enough that you can get a good firm grip on it.

The stroke of genius, however, is the little white plastic tub that you can't see in the pic because it's flipped over and tucked away inside the bottom of the grater.  Pull it out and turn it over; the grater snap-fits onto it tightly.  It's even marked so you can grate a 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 1.5 cups or the full 2 cups of pepper jack or Cheddar - and it stays in the grater, there's nowhere for the gratings to fall out, so no mess.  There are 4 sides: large, medium and small grate; the small is best for hard cheese, the large is good for Cheddar.  The fourth side is a mandolin-type slicer but I've never had much luck with these; it'd probably slice a hard-boiled egg but the kind of aged Cheddar I like is too crumbly for it to work well.

One downside; all my graters live in a drawer, but this grater is just a bit too big to fit into that drawer.  No problem, it's fine on a shelf or on the counter.  This grater is my new favorite and I highly recommend it!

After the handle broke off of my last boxed grater, I was in the market for a new one. This Stainless Steel Boxed Grater by FlyingColors is a great replacement. It's slightly smaller than my previous grater, but the handle seems to be attached securely. I love to cook and try new recipes, so I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Having quality tools to work with is so important to me.

I have primarily been using this grater for grating cheese. Freshly grated cheese tastes 10x better than the prepackaged stuff. It is so worth it to me to take the two minutes to grate it myself! When I share my recipes with people, I always tell them to grate their own cheese for the best flavor.

This grater has a different blade size on each side. The blades are all sufficiently sharp enough to grate efficiently. The two larger sides feature the coarse and medium blades, which are the sides I use the most for grating cheese. I like to use the coarse blades if I am cutting a lot of cheese for a casserole or dish. I like to use the medium blades if I am cutting it as a topping for salads or tacos, because I feel like I get more cheese per ounce with the smaller shreds! The fine blades are good for grating hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago. The last side is useful for slicing cheeses for sandwiches.

This boxed grater is slightly smaller than the previous two boxed graters I own, but this actually makes it easier to store in a drawer. My other one had to be stored in the cabinet. The stainless steel is dishwasher safe and rust resistant, which is important since I don't want to always have to hand wash.

So far, the handle is holding up great. I will be sure to update my review if this changes! I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

This grater replaced one that's been in the family for a few generations. I used it the day it got here and I was so impressed with not only how thoroughly it grated everything, but how sturdy it was. It's a little tricky to disassemble, but a jar opening pad takes care of that in no time.

At first glance I was afraid this wouldn't be as sturdy as I want. After using the grater I realized that not only was it strong, the size is perfect too. I have a larger grater but prefer this smaller one. The handle is shaped in a way that it is easy to hold and there's a metal loop on the end so you can hang it. Lastly, it was easy to clean. No pushing cheese through holes to clean. Just a simple wipe on either side was sufficient.

This grater is very sturdy and does a great job with everything I have used it for so far.  There is a container that you can grate your food into, and I especially like the fact that this container has its own lid for quick storage after grating!  What probably makes this grater perfect for a kitchen is that the grater, the container and its lid all fit together and only take up the space for the grater.  Really nice for storage and preventing clutter.

This is the perfect size grater for the dinner table.  It's well balanced and the handle is comfortable, but what I liked best was the size of the actual grater. It's not so large that more cheese winds up on the table than on my son's plate, yet not so small that grating is tedious. It is much easier it is to clean than my rotary grater -- which is why the rotary grater rarely makes it out of the kitchen drawer. I received this grater at a discount in exchange for my honest feedback....and my review is just that.

Ergonomic for sure. Easy to use and the bottom of the grater prevents it from slipping around. Feels very sturdy and the handle is great. This is a great value, too.

For my ginger root this grater is perfect. It has the balance and feel of a fine surgical instrument, and cuts like one. Easy to clean after use with a soft sponge. And the snap-on nylon shield to protect the hundreds of cutting nibs from drawer rash is easy to take on and take off. My hats off to Zester for such a fine, enjoyable-to-use grater.

The first thing I noticed was the high quality box that it came in. This zester/grater works great and has a great quality feel to it. The handle is very comfortable to hold and you can rest it on the counter without the blade touching.

I just got this cheese grater last night and love it!  It makes getting the last bit of cheese that's hard to hold easy to grate. It looks good too and fits in with my other stainless steel kitchen tools.  I also appreciate the fact that it is dishwasher safe.

Over the years, I've used various graters from the hard-to-clean and hard-to-store box types to the typical flat inexpensive graters you find in department stores. I looked a a lot of different graters and after reading the reviews, I decided to spring for this professional model. I frequently grate potatoes for hash browns and cheeses for cooking, etc. This grater made the size of my cheese gratings slightly smaller than my old grater which made them easier to melt when cooking. It is much easier to use than any other grater I have had. It's easy to clean and comes with a neat plastic cover to protect the blades when I stow it in a drawer.

I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review.  I have another grater that I use on a daily basis for various foods (not just cheese).  What I have is a bit bigger and takes up some space in my cupboard.  This grater is the perfect solution.  It is the size of a large knife and is flat so I an store it easily.  It also includes the cover. which I like very much, to prevent from cuts while it isn't being used.  I've used the grater on a block of parmesan cheese.  Worked very well and grated it perfectly.  I also used it on an orange, like a zester.  It worked well on that as well!  Cleaning is a bit tough, as with other graters.  I wish there is a better way of cleaning it.  Nevertheless, I loved the item and would recommend it to anyone needing a grater that doesn't take up too much space.

This rotary grater from Savora is a welcome improvement over our old&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Zyliss-Classic-Rotary-Cheese-Grater/dp/B000FDZJG2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater</a>. The Savora is much bigger, works for left or right handed people, is sturdy in your hands while operating and works quickly.

The handle can move in both directions and so far, we've had nothing but great results.  It is mostly plastic and some metal, however, it feels quite solid and it is dishwasher safe. If you have used a typical (smaller) rotary grater, you may have experienced some challenges as I have with operating it comfortably and effectively. While the Savora is larger, it's much easier to use and I don't find myself holding it awkwardly to operate, as I sometimes do with the smaller one.  The only benefit of the smaller styles was that it came with different size drums for coarse and fine grating. The Savora does not.

It makes grating easy and fast, with a comfortable grip.  Grating Parmesan cheese over foods and salads is easy. If you're using a softer cheese, put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and it'll grate easily.
