So, bravo for the Amazon competitive price and super fast shipment! Thank you. As regards the rasp: - It is perfect for carrots, celery, ... Wide selection of discs, small brush that helps to remove food chute ... - If you plan to make fries, abandon: good size pieces (2 cm maximum) are rounded, and there are a lot of "waste" means any small pieces, suitable just for a soup or puree! - Strength: the whole body of the rasp is plastic, only the base is really solid. - Miscellaneous: always the same problems to unlock the upper part of the plastic body, already encountered on the 998; the first time, I thought I was going to break, now I take care not to tighten. Always the recesses in the upper part, above the discs, wherein get stuck food. My advice: VERY GOOD to grate, fast, efficient, 3 sizes for grated carrots and other vegetables, such great for celery remoulade. VERY GOOD for slicing. NUL for fries. KENWOOD should review the lock. I am also very careful not to drop the set because, given the weight of the base, extremely heavy, I am certain that the top clear plastic would shattered!
