Pardon the pun, but using a grater can sometimes be a really grating experience! Most have thin inadequate handles, are hard to manipulate, are too large, too small, or just leave a huge mess for cleanup. I have a number of other OXO products and have been thrilled with them, thanks to their very user friendly grips and was equally excited to find this grater. Now that I have I can give away all the others cluttering my drawers and cupboards as none comes close to working as well as this. I have the old box style one with four edges, but honestly with a food processor who needs it, not to mention it develops rust. With this easily held grater you can position yourself over a plate, a bowl, a pan or whatever, and make precisely the grating you need. And did I mention the handle? Even though I'm hardly elderly or suffering infirmity, it's nice to have a grip that is easy on the hands instead of some thin one that's hard to hold.

I can't say enough good things about the OXO line of products. They excel at utility, ease of use, and durability. Any chef or gourmand should be using them.

This little grater was given to me as a wishing well gift at my bridal shower 5 years ago. I still love it! It has never failed to perform on hard cheeses or spices. Quick and easy! It's a sharp little sucker, so with some elbow grease, you're done in no time. The only thing it doesn't do well is zest, but hey...that's what zesters are for!

Cheap too. Works great. Will take the place of many microplane jobs for me. That super sharp microplane still scares me after all these yrs! The Oxo's handle just might be too big. Easy to clean. All my Oxo purchases (except the pepper grinder, a total waste of money that one!) have been winners and worth it at twice the price.

Great price, and a handy kitchen tool. Good for grating garlic and lemon zest. I have carpal tunnel syndrome so I appreciate the handle too.

We bought this hand grater to replace an aluminum hand grader with a looped rolled aluminum handle. That honestly was a pain to use.

This grater has a very comfortable handle and does an excellent job compared to what we had been using.

I would recommend this and all of the OXO Good Grips items to any of my Family and friends.

This OXO product is another winner. I like the padded handle, and it really remains straight while grating a hard hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The cheese does not fly all over the place either. It washes up easily in hot soapy water. Take a few seconds after you wash it to towel dry it. Cheese graters are famous for rusting, and I don't think even the OXO brand is immune to that.

First, the grater in the above picture is not the one that showed up at my doorstep. The grater I received has a black handle, a fine grate, and does not have anything to catch food when it falls. However, it still works great! I like it most for hard cheeses and it is very sharp- watch your fingers- not a good tool for a kid to use helping out his/her mom in the kitchen.

These good grips kitchen tools are well made for the money. This grater is great for hard cheeses. The rubberized handle has a very professional feel.

This style just makes more sense. I got mine included in a utility crock. Simple, straightforward and a boon in the kitchen.
