Received this in December and cannot believe how useful this is. I love carrot cake but rarely made it because of the grating. Using the food processor turned them into a wet mush, but this grates them perfectly and in record time with no scraped knuckles!!! It is great for slicing carrots and cucumbers. It also does a great job of making coleslaw. Anyone with a KitchenAid mixer should have this particular attachement. I own other attachements, but nothing as useful as this! Used it almost daily during the holidays. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
