Okay, other than being WAY longer and bigger than I expected (because did I read the specifications--no, I did not), this works like a charm to really quickly and efficiently remove the zest from lemons. I expect it to work just as well as a hand grater when you just need to do a small amount of something when a food processor seems like overkill.
I've been baking a lot, and I LOVE lemon flavored everything (and citrus, in general). The grater I had before had gone missing (how something like that could even disappear, I have no idea). Finally I gave in and ordered this one. It is very light to hold, and the metal just slides over the surface of the lemon with ease. I have arthritis in my hands, so this was a literal relief to have something that works so effortlessly.
The zester comes with a cover and a tiny brush for cleaning. However, despite my five-star rating (I would actually rate this a four and a half if I could), getting it clean really isn't that easy. It looks a bit delicate for the dishwasher, so I did give it a good rinsing under the tap while using the brush, and it still took some doing to get all the bits out. You don't want to actually TOUCH the metal cutting bits to avoid grating your skin off.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase, though at this point I'm not sure how long the tool will last.
