I purchased this as I strongly dislike hand grating anything. I was always made to do the grating as a young girl as I've grown older I've tried to avoid it however unsuccessful I purchased this attachment - It is wonderful! I don't have to stand and grate or worry about accidentally grating my finger or knuckles! I just cut whatever I wish to be grated and put it into the cylinder using the pushers and boom! Grated cheese, potatoes, carrots etc.! Its wonderful! I will note while grating cheese you will always get a little bit that the pusher cannot get grated however it does 98% of the job! Def would purchase again!
