The grater is small and handy. The friction inserts can be easily inserted, but removed after use with difficulty out of the machine. Because the kitchen grater has too little power / force, she throws the rubbing sliced from ungenügent. The cleansing of the friction inserts can only be achieved with a brush, simply rinse with water is not. Now have an electrical kitchen grater Philips HR7762 / 90 bought with 750 watts input power, unfortunately, somewhat larger than this machine, but with ordinary rubbing cutting results.
