At the age of 67, I've finally found my ideal grater.  This product is sturdy and the grating surface is sharp.  It comes apart for easy clean up (how many times have I tried to get up into a grater to get those pesky MIA cheese bits only to fail?).  It comes apart easily to use the different surfaces separately or for cleaning. I'm thinking I'll buy one for each of my children's families.  That's how good it is!
