The knives are so sharp that a cucumber is planed in a few seconds. Here, the collection container is so large that fit 2 sliced cucumbers.
The attached hand attachment to protect your hands is a big help in hard vegetables like raw potato, carrot or beetroot. The knives are so sharp that the rubbing process so quickly is that I have the same cut on the first attempt in the hand. Therefore I can only recommend the use of the hand attachment. He is also comfortable to hold and even longer rubbing works pretty effortlessly. However, he is not as well suited for rather soft vegetables such as cucumbers. This love slip back out of the bracket.
I am with this grater - like me many other kitchen appliances Company Lurch - extremely satisfied and recommend it further hesitation.
