Amazon.com Review:
For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. Its design is based on that of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes grated knuckles. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the completely flat grating surface makes it easy to move the cheese across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. --Jill Lightner

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Microplane Grater
This items works as advertised. I does it well and quick - If you want to add some zest to your cooking, get this. Well worth it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Zesting With This Was Easy and Productive
I'm a first time "zester", and after reading the reviews I decided to buy this product. I've been cooking more at home for the family and decided to explore the art of stir frying. Many of the recipes call for lemon zest or orange zest. I didn't know what "zest" was and had to look up the definition. Sure enough, I typed up zest in the amazon search field and found this product. This zester works really well; I'm especially glad that I ordered the one with the handle. The lemon and orange zest is ... Read More

It's high quality, extremely sharp. I love it. Just wish it had arrived sooner. I don't know how I cooked without it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Attn Bakers: Can't live with out it!
Well, I've had this rasp for years now and it still performs like the day I got it. The zester is essential to all bakers (home cooks or pros). I previously owned the zester that had no handle, and purchased this one because I thought it would be easier to use (not that the other one was "difficult" but this one is definitely better in design). The handled one allows you to zest even near the end of the lemon with the curved part of the grater.

Lemons, oranges, and limes are what I ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - perfect tool for grating parmesan, zesting oranges
I like this better than every other grater I've owned or used. It's light, and very sharp, taking some of the physical effort out of grating! You probably can't use it to grate softer cheeses like cheddar or monterey jack, but it's very good for hard cheeses. The cheese gratings will be thinner than those obtained with a traditional cheese grater.

The 5.2 amp motor on older US units provides respectable suction but they all lack a motorized brush head. Therefore they generally work better on hard floors or short pile rugs. Old units take Hoover type J paper bags but the slightly smaller type S allergen filtration bags can be easily trimmed to fit the retaining notches on the old vacuums. The most highly collectible colors are pink and turquoise. Replacement motors are still available from Hoover US for some models.
