Title: High maintenance, poor performance on soft cheese
Product review: So far I've had a good experience with Oxo products, but this one is a big disappointment. It really can only be used to finely grate hard cheeses. Any softer cheese (such as cheddar), even if briefly frozen, will be just smeared over the drum, stuck everywhere and will come out in a long rope, as one of the reviewers observed.But it's not the worst part. I absolutely hate the design with the handle screwed on top of the drum and has to be reattached for every cleaning. With other graters it is possible to see inside the drum while grating and to make a quick adjustment, if necessary. To detach the handle you have to put your finger inside the drum and press it against the sharp blade (!!!). The drum is very difficult to clean - the inside is narrow and any soft cheese gets stuck very badly. If you put it in a dishwasher, dirty water will collect in the crevice where handle is attached to the drum. It's too high maintenance for such a simple device.
