Oster CG100 Electric Cheese Grater

I got this as a gift, but I'm considering returning it after three days of use. The concept is excellent. The ease of use is excellent.

However, it's a virtually useless gadget. The motor is seriously underpowered and has a lot of trouble grating hard cheeses like parmesan. I tried using both drums, in case the finer drum was 'too fine', but it still took about 3 minutes to grate about 1/4 cup of cheese with the coarse drum.

For now, I'm sticking with my Microplane.

This cheese grater is only good if you want a very small amount of cheese at a time and I mean small! I wanted to use it to grate cheese for my salad. I thought this would speed up the process. Not so -- I actually do 100% better with my hand grater.

This is battery operated, and the does not have enough power to grate hard cheeses quickly. The capacity is small, and disassembling for cleaning is inconvenient. Save your money and get a hand grater.
