 Works until it breaksMay 09, 2000

We've tried a few of these because they look like they would be more comfortable to hold and use, and stronger, than the more common and less expensive stamped stainless steel variety. And they are. . .until the plastic gives way, and only one side remains useable. A beefier design could make this potentially good product into a good product. Until it's redesigned, spend your money elsewhere.

 Great grip, faulty material...Jan 04, 2001
By Todd Hagley
"groucho75"
Just to add to what has already been said...I bought mine a year and a half ago, and in that time its been handy, but nowhere near as sturdy as I would have hoped. I found I couldn't grate into a bowl unless the width accomodated the legs, so more often than not I had to grate onto a cutting board and sweep the item into a bowl. And like everyone else's my grater suffers from flimsy plastic. I probably have a month left on mine before it breaks from all the cracks on the sides. On the good side, both faces of the grater worked great on hard and semi-soft cheeses, vegetables, baking chocolate and even nutmeg and ginger. I loved the fact that I could throw this into the dishwasher and forget about it. If Oxo made a stainless steel version of this, I would give it a try. Otherwise, put the money towards one that won't fracture after a while. Two stars for the design and one for the price.

 The best Grater I have used.May 31, 2000
I have had this grater for about 3 years. I have used it to grate both soft and hard cheeses. It handles both equally well. The best part, however, is the comfortable handle. In the past when I used box graters after grating for more then a minute, the handle would start to hurt my hand. This does not happen with this grater.

 Breaks too soonJul 01, 2000
I loved my new grater for a few months -- until the plastic on one side split, meaning it no longer stands up on its own, and the broken side cannot be used. What a pity it wasn't more sturdy! All I ever grated with it was cheddar, so it's not as if I used it for anything too hard.

Neat design--bad materialsMar 09, 2002
By Ariel Meadow Stallings
"Author, Offbeat Bride"
Although I like the design--especially the non-skid feet--I'm ultimately very disappointed in this grater. Like other reviewers, I've found that after less than six weeks of use, the plastic has started cracking. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, however, you CAN separate the two halves of the grater for cleaning or storage, but I was disappointed by how you can barely spread the grater's feet out more than a few inches...I wish it had a full range of movement. As it is, you can only position the feet about 4 inches apart. I was hoping for a wider foot print for things like quesadillas. Overall, a disappointing product. Neat design, bad materials.
