Does it work on soft cheese?

Poorly. Soft or sticky cheese clogs the drum. It is built for hard cheeses like cheddar, Parmesan and Swiss.

Can it slice vegetables as well as shred?

Yes. The drums swap out so it can shred cheese or slice vegetables, fruit and nuts.

Will the suction base hold on any counter?

It grips smooth, flat surfaces like tile, stone and laminate. It holds poorly on textured or uneven counters.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Treat the drums and base as hand wash only. Hand washing and drying keeps the blades sharp and the suction cup in shape.

How does it compare with an electric shredder?

It is quieter, cordless and simpler to store, but slower and more tiring. An electric shredder wins for large batches.

What comes in the box?

The grater body with suction base and handle, plus interchangeable shredding and slicing drums.

Our take on the Rotary Cheese Grater with Handle Cheese Shredder Drum Grater

A manual rotary drum grater with a crank handle and a suction base that locks it to the counter. You drop cheese, vegetables or nuts into the hopper and turn the handle; the drum shreds or slices into a cup below. It suits anyone shredding blocks of hard cheese or prepping vegetables in volume who wants to skip a box grater and the cleanup. Against electric shredders it is quieter, cheaper to own and needs no outlet, but it takes more arm work and only handles what fits the hopper.
