Amazon.com Review
For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes grated knuckles. For ease in resting the grater on the counter while in use, there's a hard acrylic frame around the metal. The frame also prevents scratches to your countertop. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the slightly curved grating surface makes it easy to use with oddly shaped chunks of chocolate. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. --Jill Lightner

 Long term review December 14, 2008
I've had this grater for about a year now. Overall a great product that does what it's suppose to do. It has remained very sharp and easy to maintain. I just throw it in the top rack of the diswasher. One tip...the handle is just a blow molded rubber slid on to the plastic body, so it will fill up with water in the D/W if you have the grater face upwards. If you forget it will remind you when you go to use it by soaking your shirt sleave. Do it once and you won't forget again :-)
 Upgrade to Professional version! September 6, 2008

These Microplane graters are wonderful, but I recommend the Professional versions instead. If you use your graters a lot, the plastic edges will eventually break, so spend the extra few dollars and get the steel edged Professional versions to start with. I just replaced two graters myself because they broke.

You can't beat this product for grating spices, especially directly into a receipe. Easy to wash, store and use. A must for every kitchen.
 Perfectly fine blade in a worse than useless plastic frame March 16, 2008

That pretty much covers it. The blade is a classic, high-quality, sharp microplane blade. I love them - and I have 5 of the other "stick" style professional microplane graters. This, however, was my first microplane, and it would be sturdier if they made the frame out of a high quality dark chocolate. I don't even wash my graters in a dishwasher, and but plastic surround on this design began to crack within weeks - parts of it began falling off within months. Once that happens it becomes too flexible to use - not to mention the bits of clear plastic frame that in your food. Not good.
Anyone who rated this highly either did so too soon to know this - or they don't actually use it very often.
If you need a sturdy microplane to actually use in the kitchen, try any of the file-shaped metal-only (or all metal with black handle) versions. They are fantastic. They even cost less. This one stinks.
fell apart March 1, 2008

First the clear plastic rim cracked. Then the handle fell off. Now the plastic rim is falling off piece by piece.
It would be a fine grater, were it in one piece.
