Which grater is better for grating hard cheese?

Both have coarse and fine stainless steel sides that handle Parmesan and cheddar. The OXO's wide coarse side and container make less mess, and it costs less.

Can I put either one in the dishwasher?

Only the Gorilla Grip is dishwasher safe. The OXO Good Grips is hand wash only, so plan to rinse and dry it by hand.

Is the Gorilla Grip worth the extra money?

Yes if dishwasher cleaning or a color match matters to you. Otherwise the OXO saves about $2.43 and adds a removable zester blade.

Which is easier to hold for someone with weak hands?

The OXO is lighter at 249 g and has a soft handle plus a non-slip base foot. The Gorilla Grip's oversized handle also helps, but it weighs 340 g.

Do both come with a container to catch what you grate?

Yes. Both include a detachable container with measurement markings and a lid, so you can grate straight into it and store the results.

Which one lasts longer?

Both use stainless steel blades and bodies, so wear should be similar. The Gorilla Grip's rust-resistant coating and dishwasher use may shorten blade life over years of washing.
