For a long time now i have been looking for an Electric Cheese Grater, and up to now without luck. Sure i could use the food processor, but it takes time to assemble, find the parts, and then clean up afterwards, too much hastle.
This machine is cheap, small, and simple. Although setting it up and installing batteries is a little tricky, but once that's done its clear sailing.
You place the cheese in the top plastic bowl, which slots into place in the main body. This can be detached and dropped in a dishwasher for cleaning. The design works well and makes sure the main body of the machine( with batteries and motor) stays clean, and needs nothing more than a wipe down after use. Another neat feature is that you can store the machine in the refrigerator, i.e. pop a couple of chunks of cheese in the machine, store the whole machine in the fridge, and then take out and use for fresh grated cheese whenever you need with absolutely no work. Alternatively it comes with a seperate sealable container for storing grated cheese as well, so take your choice.
It is not the fastest grater, but the results are very fine and light, which personally i like. So all round and excellent choice, enjoy.
