I bought this attachment even before I received by Kitchenaid mixer.  I knew I had to replace this one attachment when it was time to replace my old Oster mixer with all it's attachments.  The Kitchenaid shredder did a great job on the cheese.   I liked this shredder design over the other Kitchenaid shredder attachment.  It's very well made and I know I will enjoy using the shredder on other foods.
