This little grinder does exactly what it says WITHIN LIMITS. The housing and handle are sturdy but the grating cylinders are weak and bendable. It is really ONLY useful for grating soft cheeses. Get too close to the harder end of good parmesan and it will jam. You will have to get out the pliers to get it apart.

That being said, I really like this little grinder for grating cheddar or a not-too-hard chunk of parmesan -much better than the box grater and inevitably scraped knuckles. You will still need a box grater and microplane for carrots, potatoes, and anything tougher. Hubby-the-dish-washer complains about the nooks and crannies cheese gets stuck in -particularly in the rolled metal edges.

It grinds the cheese ok but the suction on the bottom will not hold. It keeps coming off and making a mess with all the cheese. I would not recommend this product because of that one faulty feature.

This is a good grater, suction to the counter was good and grated through the different wheels nicely. BUT: The threaded insert that goes into the wheel lever arm broke after just under a year of use. Looking for something more robust now.

Honest reviews on CucinaPro 380 Stainless Steel Grater

Works with the soft parmesan I can get at the store. I am not sure I'd want to try it with a hard parmesan.

There is a tendency for pieces to get stuck between the wheel and the body. Not much you can do, except take breaks to get them out.

It grates very quickly once you get going, but you will want to grate a lot at one time, since taking it apart to clean it is a pain.

The handle is metal. Hopefully it will not break, like the plastic ones seem to.

You will want to have pliers handy in order to take it apart for cleaning.

The product description says the grater is made of powder coated aluminum. It is notit is powder coated steel.

The product description claims "Fine for hard cheeses, nuts and chocolate." When grating Parmesan cheese, the grater barrel dented and jammed when encountering the hard rind of the cheese. I would not attempt to grate nuts with it.

The end of the grater barrel is rolled. This area traps food particles and must be cleaned carefully with a toothpick.

The weld affixing the shaft to the grater barrel is rusting after one use.

Not recommended.
