NIUTA Rotary Cheese Grater vs Zassenhaus Classic Drum Grater

The NIUTA is the more versatile tool: five interchangeable stainless blades, a wide chute and a food pusher cover shredding, slicing and grating in one unit. The Zassenhaus Classic Drum is a simpler rotary grater with a metal body and suction base, built for cheese and nuts rather than vegetables. Owners of drum-style graters like the Zassenhaus praise the smooth crank and stable base, while NIUTA's high rating from a small pool of buyers points to easy cleanup and less hand effort than a box grater. Buy the NIUTA for all-purpose prep; buy the Zassenhaus if you want a sturdy, single-purpose cheese drum.

• Choose the NIUTA if you want one tool that shreds cheese, slices cucumbers and zucchini, and grates carrots, chocolate or nuts with interchangeable blades.
• Choose the Zassenhaus if you mainly grate hard cheese and nuts and prefer a compact metal drum with a classic brand behind it.
