I've had this for 3 weeks now and I love using it. It is so easy and simple to use that I use it several times a week. I buy a big block of cheese and I shred it all and bag it up. I use it for my salads with my cucumbers zucchinis and carrots. I shred my cabbage for coleslaw I shredded potatoes for hash browns I just love it and it was a great price. I also have arthritis in my hands and it makes it so much more easier on my hands. Thank you KitchenAid I love my prep slicer and Shredder very well made!
