Purchased this in September after finally throwing out my old cheapo metal box grater that had rusted through. So far, no rust & I don't expect any because it is stainless steel.

The handy container that fits onto the bottom is great for grating cheese into when you only need a little. I also like the rubber edging at the bottom. It makes it fairly non-slip when not using in conjunction with the container. Be aware that this rubber piece does come off for washing. I didn't realize that at first as there was no "instruction" manual included.

I use a stainless steel scrub pad when cleaning this thing by hand. It has left some scratch marks, but it will chew up my Scotch Brite No-Scratch scrubbers. A tip: rinse off in COLD water right after using to rinse off as much cheese as possible. This will make it easier to clean by hand if you don't have a dishwasher. I say cold water because hot water will melt the cheese to the grater making it harder to remove. Try not to let cheese dry onto the grater as this will also make it more difficult to clean later.

Definitely a much better product than a plain metal one & it looks attractive to boot.

1/10/08 Update: Still no rust & going strong. Still rate this at 5 stars! Use it a lot.

I prefer a box grater to the flat or hand-held models. They are so much easier to use and create less of a mess if you have limited counter space to work with or are trying to get semi-exact measurments. Plus they are great with kids - my two girls love to help out with the cooking and take their job of cheese grating VERY seriously. It's so much easier to clean up after their 'help' if their work can be isolated to various containers.
