The grater works well. I have only used the soft cheese side so far but it does a good job of quickly shredding cheddar and similar cheeses.
I have two issues with the design.
First, there is a rubber frame around the base to keep the grater from sliding. Unfortunately cheese gets in between the rubber frame and the grater's body making it difficult to clean. The frame can be removed but this requires some force and is a bit risky since the grater's surfaces are covered in sharp edges.
The second issue is the steel rod that goes around the base of the grater to make it rigid. It is carbon steel rather than stainless. It rusts.
As a couple of other reviewers have stated, this grater has a rod around the bottom of the grater that is NOT stainless steel. The non-skid rubber leaked rusty black water when I took it out of the dishwasher. I took the rubber piece off and could see that the rod running through the bottom is already rusted! Saying that it is 100% stainless steel is very deceiving.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I just used it 2-3 times but I just realized it got immediately rusty! I am so disappointed! I am returning this..please see the picture..
Under the rubber base is a carbon (not stainless) steel support rod that rusts. This is not acceptable in a tool that should be 100% stainless — I haven’t even used it and it’s rusted from the first wash.
I have barely had this unit a month. I've washed it maybe 3 times and it is rusting on the bottom. The plastic covers the rust but it is still there. Not very good quality.

Description
Style Name:Boxed Grater
To slice, grate or shred foods, The stainless box grater with its nonskid base does the job. Soft grips make food prep a pleasure.
I'm glad I got this grater, because it's a lot more comfortable to use than the grater of my childhood. The grater I had as a kid had a thin, floppy metal handle. It was painful to hold when you're grating 3 lbs of cabbage. This one has a fat chunky handle to hold onto, and it's comfortable to use as I grate mountains of potatoes (mmmmmmm ... potato mountains).
The only trouble is that I wish that the blades were sharper. Much like my childhood grater, these are merely punched out sheets of metal. The "teeth" haven't been sharpened in any way, which means that you need to press down on the food harder. This in turn means that if you accidentally slip, you can hurt yourself badly. I wish I'd sprung for the Microplane brand graters, which have sharpened blades.
I'm extremely disappointed with this product. While the grater was easy to use, it rusted after one run through the dishwasher. Total waste of money since I threw it out after using it once.
Cusinart CTG-00-BG Boxed Grater was a good thing to buy. Stable, reliable, easy to use. It's a classical model. A nice rubber handle and bottom frame made it pleasant to use.
balanced and easy to grip.. sharp grater
