I have only used this attachment to shred Asiago, Romano and Pecorino cheeses.  The attachment is sturdy and easy to use.  My normal method of grating cheese is by hand with a manual grater.  Using the Kitchenaid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder cuts my prep time down by 10-15 minutes.  I can't wait to use the slicer blade. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
