sharp - - -
be careful - - - do use the sliding carriage
great design and engineering with only one exception:
the handle is " hollow " and if you clean the tool UPSIDE DOWN
gratings may be washed into the handle and possibly not rinse out.
There IS a DRAIN hole in the underside of the handle
 Fabulous tool - but be careful! September 16, 2007

We bought this grater at a garage sale! The previous owner had the clear plastic slider upside down (it is supposed to sit so the door opens down and the Microplane name up.) When I tried to grate with the slider upside down, the cheese slid all over the place and it was awful. Then I realized the mistake, and I've been in love with this thing ever since.
The fine blade side turns hard cheese (e.g.: asiago, parmesan) into a snow like consistency. I add a bit of a strong flavored cheese snow on top of appetizers for a surprising zing. Cheese or chocolate graded this fine melts in an instant.
It washes easily in hot water in the sink or in the dishwasher. The slider goes on either side, and I can get a hunk of cheese (or chocolate) down to a thin wafer before it won't shred any more. I haven't tried very soft cheeses like mozzarella, but everything from cheddar to chocolate grates easily and quickly.
My mother saw mine and asked for one for a gift. I might give one to all my cook friends!
If you are careful to keep the slider in the correct position - I bet you will love this device too.

The grater itself is great, but the plastic sliding finger protector is pretty useless

A great idea for grater design. Works well unless you try to put somewhat soft mozzarella through it. Oops. Easy to clean and seems to be well built.

This microplane grater works extremely well. We use this all the time and have had no problems. Highly recommend this grater.
