So I decided to try keto recently and along the way decided to try to stop eating pre-shredded cheese because it usually has corn or potato starch, which adds extra carbs. So I started grating my own cheese with a big cheap grater with a handle, and of course grated the crap out of my thumb. It was then that I decided to buy this. It comes assembled, and once you figure out how to take it apart for cleaning, it's very easy to use and clean. The handle doesn't lift like you would think, but if you twist the open end of the grater barrel the right way, it unscrews from the handle and they both come off.

Love this tool. Should have found out about these years ago. Amazing grater. Makes beautiful curls of cheese with almost no effort! Super easy to clean and open and take apart. Highly recommend. Great gift. Paid full price for this grater.

Don't buy anything else... there are graters that look like this one, trust me I know because I bought them. They broke and are cheap. This is the one to buy. We have used it and have no issues. I bought a look alike and it broke after about five ueses. We got a replacement but have avoided using it. Oh by the way, I have seen all the fancy other brands, passed them by

I have owned an Oxo cheese grater for a couple of months now and dreaded the chore of grating a pound of hard cheese. My hands actually hurt when I was done. A few weeks ago we went to an Italian restaurant and the waiter offered parmesan. I watched him as the cheese covered my pasta and I noticed that he didn't put in any effort and yet, the cheese came flying out of the barrel. I asked him about the cheese grater and he said it's a Zyliss and he's been using it for months without any problems. As soon as we got home I went on Amazon and search for Zyliss cheese grater and to my surprise, there was the exact same cheese grater. The funny part is that it was actually cheaper than my Oxo. I've ground many pounds of aged parmesan with this product and it is an absolut delight with the Zyliss. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

I grate my own parmesan cheese because I don't like the powdery stuff and the shredded stuff is too hard, right? I was always grating it with a box grater for that in between texture perfect for salads and it was a pain the a**. Hated that chore. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this sooner, but it is a game changer. Takes me only a couple minutes and far less work to grate an entire block of parmesan cheese. I grate it and throw it in the freezer in a zip top bag. Boom, fresh parmesan when you need it! High recommend!

I had been grating Parmesan cheese with an old fashioned metal grater, and with really good, hard cheese it took too long and didn't yield enough Parmesan. Wow...this grater is fast and I can grate enough Parmesan cheese to put on my lasagna or my salad, or anything else. I normally do grate about 1/2 a cup at a time and put it in the refrigerator as the grated cheese lasts just fine for a couple of days. Very easy to clean as is comes apart easily and goes back together great. A wonderful idea to make it so that you can use it with your left hand or right hand. Really a good product and seems very well made.

I’ve used this grater three times in the few days I’ve had it. I grated Romano, Mizithra and Parmesan cheeses. It grates and the handle turns easily to create fine shavings. To clean the handle unscrews and the stainless grater slides out the side hole. It washes up very easily with a soft brush. I’m thoroughly delighted with this purchase!

Just like the ZYLISS can opener we've had for years, this is a welcome addition to our kitchen. It does exactly what it is supposed to with ease. It's lightweight, but is not flimsy. Like another reviewer mentioned, we also keep ours in a large Ziploc bag in the fridge with the cheese, so it's ready to go. We only use it for Parmesan, but if we needed to shred another cheese, it disassembles and cleans up with ease.

I am coming back and updating this review after having this shredder for a couple years now. I really can't see how some people have rated this 1 star. We use it a couple nights of the week and it works great. We only use it for Parmesan cheese but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The quality seems good and the ease of use is great. You literally cut off a chunk of cheese from your block, drop it in the shredder, close the hand and turn and you have grated cheese. It's hard to review further than that. Once dinners done, the tool easily comes apart and goes in the dishwasher. I can't think of anything that could or should be better on it.

I saw this when I went to Olive Garden so I went to amazon to find it. Works very nicely with hard cheeze. I keep it in a ziplock bag with the cheeze inside so it’s always ready
