I bought this shredder most'ly to shread chedder cheese which I think alot of people would want it for. It doesn't work good at all on chedder. The cheese is constantly getting stuck behind the blade instead of just falling out the bottom, and this happens right away. You can't shread for more than 10 seconds before the cheese build's up. Then you have to stop and shake the unit until the cheese comes out, and it doesn't come out very easy. Something hard and dry like Romano comes out the bottom just fine but it takes too long. If you press the cheese too firmly against the blade it stops, and that's with a full charge. This product definitely needs improvements like a bigger barrrel for the cheese to fall through and more power. In the mean time get out your old hand shredded it works better and faster.

Oh...where to begin. First, you have to use a block of cheese the size of Mt. Everest. As you rest it against the grater while it moves back/forth, you have to push quite hard. However, if you push too hard, it sssslllllooooowwwws down. What cheese you do manage to grate gets stuck in the middle and a knife must be used to push it through. Finally, the top/bottom of the grater is very sharp, making it nearly impossible to clean without cutting yourself. Stick with the traditional version and do it yourself!

I own quite a few Black and Decker products, and they are all great, so I trusted the name when I purchased this item. I bought it because I have problems with my hands, and was very excited about being able to grate cheese. This was a total waste of my money, and I am surprised Black and Decker would sell a product that doesn't live up to their reputation. In my opinion, this is a piece of junk!

What a waste of money, time and energy! It doesn't cut the cheese! I bought this product to reduce the strain and fatigue on my wrist, instead it added to it. It was extremely difficult to get it to shred the cheese and when it finally did, it clumped up inside the unit and not to mention the clean up.

Black and Decker management should be ashamed of themselves for this product. There is no way that any one of them could have possibly tested this made in China piece of crap. It makes a lot of noise and then binds up as soon as anything touches the blade. The only cheese that gets cut is the chunk you cut with a knife to put against the thing. I'd give this zero stars but, one is the lowest allowed.

I was unable to get this product to work as advertised. Semi-soft cheese such as cheddar, even though chilled from the fridge, gums up even on the most open slicer. Compared to cheddar, jack, and mozzarella, my need to grate harder cheeses is infrequent.

This product does not work at all. I called Black & Decker and asked for a refund or a different product of equal value and all they could tell me was that they could send me a new one. Well after reading negative feedback on different website I told them I didnt want a new one. They said thats the best they could do. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this piece of junk. Black and Decker has definitly lost me as a customer!

This is completely useless. It will grate only miniscule amounts of cheese, while getting clogged in the process. Any hand grater is far superior. If you need to grate large amounts of cheese forget about using this. Use a food processor. My cuisinart will grate in 2 or 3 seconds what this couldn't grate in five minutes. Someone at Black and Decker obviously didn't do their job of product testing.

ZERO STARS FOR THIS OVER PRICED PIECE OF JUNK! TO PUT IT SIMPLY, IT JUST DOESNT WORK AT ALL! IF YOU WERE THINKING OF BUYING THIS, DONT. JUST STICK WITH A HAND GRADER. EVEN AFTER FREEZING THE CHEESE ( AS RECOMMENDED)IT STILL WOULDNT WORK.

We eat alot of shredded cheese. In the commercials it shows it grades quick and easy. Classic case of false advertising. So we thought this was the ideal thing for us. Got it home. Charged it up. And nothing. It doesn't grade just kinda balls up the cheese. We tried every blade to make sure it wasn't that. But nothing. It would take forever to grade cheese just for a piece of cheese toast. What a waste of money. Black N decker did a BAD BAD BAD Job on this one. They really should have a recall on this product. Because it is the BIGGEST CONSUMER RIP-OFF EVER! I have NEVER rated a product. BUT this one is SOOOO BAD that I had to speak up. So Don't Waste Your MONEY.
