Best Graters of 2025

"I finally decided to replace my old hand grater, and I absolutely love this grater! I grated a 16oz block of mozzarella in just a couple of minutes—no globs and no wasted cheese. It's so easy to assemble and clean, and I can't wait to try it for hash browns and carrots!"

"This grater is a game-changer for my kitchen! The rotary design makes grating cheese effortless, especially for someone like me with limited wrist strength. I love that it’s not just for cheese; I can use it for vegetables and nuts too. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup a breeze!"

"I was a bit skeptical at first, but I’m so glad I purchased this! Using pre-grated cheese was frustrating due to the additives. With this grater, it’s easy to use and easy to clean. Though I wish it were a bit larger, it’s definitely better than my old grater and those bagged options!"

"I was thrilled to solve my measuring cup issue; it was just user error on my part. After cleaning the silicone ring and ensuring it was dry, the cup attached easily and stayed put during use. Since that was my only concern, I’ve added an extra star to my review. I'm completely satisfied with this grater! I've used it several times a week since it arrived, sometimes even multiple times a day. I particularly appreciate the removable silicone ring at the base. Unlike other graters with fixed edges that get grimy quickly, this design keeps things cleaner. The grater itself is the perfect size—slim yet sturdy—fitting nicely in my small kitchen."

"I’ve had my old metal grater for years, and I didn’t expect this new one to be so much better. It feels very sturdy, and the rubber lining makes it comfortable to hold compared to the old metal handles. Shredding cheese has become much easier and quicker. I wish I had invested in this sooner, as grating my own cheese is definitely preferable to buying pre-shredded options filled with additives."

"This grater has exceeded my expectations! I find it very user-friendly, and it's a fantastic value that I rely on in my kitchen daily. The container effectively catches the cheese, and the ease of cleaning is a major plus for me. I appreciate how well it's made and the convenience it offers."

"I disagree with negative reviews. The grater is sharp, easy to clean, and comes with a handy container. The handle is comfortable, and the grater works as expected. Great value for the money!"

"I love the looks and functionality of this hand-held grater. The size is just right, and the handle fits comfortably. It's sturdy, sharp, and well-made to last a long while. Plus, the measuring cup is a fantastic addition!"

“I've been using this grater for a few weeks, and it's become one of my favorite kitchen tools! It's perfect for grating everything from semi-soft cheeses to zucchini. The sharp stainless steel surface makes it so easy to use, and I love the protective cover for safety. Plus, the non-slip foot ensures it stays in place while I grate.”

“I find the OXO zester to be an outstanding kitchen tool. The grip is very comfortable, allowing me to zest for long periods without discomfort. The results are consistently perfect whether I'm zesting limes or lemons. I also appreciate the protective cover, which adds safety when storing it.”

“This grater is simply great! It’s easy to use and sturdy, but I did notice it has cracked in a couple of places after two years. Thankfully, it hasn't affected its performance yet, but I expected it to last longer.”

“I absolutely love this grater! The storage container is fantastic, and the no-slip edging makes it so easy to use. The sharp blades really speed up shredding, and I would definitely recommend it.”

"This grater makes quick work of cheese and veggies. It's really sharp, so I have to watch my fingers. But overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and it cleans up easily as long as I don't let food dry on it."

"At 76, I was hesitant to buy this because of the warnings about sharpness. But I found it fast and effective, much better than any other grater I've used. Comfortable to hold and easy to clean. It is a bit pricey, but it does the job well."

"For family dinners, I'm always on mac & cheese duty. This grater made cheese prep quick and easy. The variety of blades also made salad preparation a breeze. Cleanup was a snap, especially with the dishwasher-safe pieces that kept my grandkids safe from sharp blades. It stayed firmly in place thanks to the suction base, and it feels very sturdy and well-made. I would confidently recommend this product to others."

"Using this grater to slice and shred potatoes has been a delight! It’s saved me so much time in food prep, and I never worry about touching the blades. It's safe, efficient, and cleaning is a piece of cake. That suction base really keeps it stable, making it a kitchen must-have!"

"I've switched from using an electric food processor to this grater/slicer, and it’s been a fantastic change! It's large enough for big chunks of cheese and super easy to clean. Setting it up is a breeze, and the anti-slip bottom works flawlessly. This grater truly makes my kitchen tasks much simpler!"

"I really enjoy using this grater. It works well, is durable, and offers great value for the price. I appreciate how easy it is to clean after use."

"I switched from a Microplane grater to this one. The Zyliss grater has similar microblades, which makes grating much easier and quicker. However, I find it a bit fragile, so I have to be careful."

"Initially, I thought the quality was low, but after using it, I realized it's incredible; it grates quickly and easily."

"I can't believe how well this works! I hadn't owned a zester before, and now I wonder why I waited so long! It has a good grip, is sharp, and gets the job done quickly!"

"This Microplane is fantastic for zesting oranges and lemons, and even grating nutmeg. I try to limit my kitchen gadgets, but this one truly earns its spot. It's easy to hold, incredibly sharp, and performs exceptionally well!"

"This is a sturdy microplane grater. I'm very pleased with its performance—it's sharp and grates evenly. I would definitely purchase it again, possibly as a gift!"

"I was thrilled when it arrived just in time for Thanksgiving. I had about 7lbs of cheese to shred for my Mac n cheese, and this little machine did it in a fraction of the time. The suction was strong, and it never budged. Cleanup was a breeze, although I found the feeder tube a bit small, so I had to cut some of the bricks."

"I usually don't write reviews, but this product is fantastic! Living in East Africa, I can't easily find shredded cheese, so this shredder has been a game-changer. I shredded 1 pound of cheese in less than 1 minute! It has a strong suction and is very stable. My only minor issue was that the chute isn't high enough for a deep bowl, but using a plate works just fine."

"I absolutely love this shredder! It made shredding cheese for my bake machine so easy. The blades are good and simple to clean, and the speed was impressive. This is exactly what I needed—super convenient and efficient!"
