I have long been looking for an alternative to the "hand-held rasp" and then I discovered this "little machine". Mainly I use it for grating carrots. At first it annoyed me a little that at the end, when the carrot "gone through" was, always remained a disc. Then I changed my tactics, first starting with the top of the carrot and it works just fine, there remain no more discs left. The machine is pretty small, handy, fast set-up and the volume is also acceptable (I once had a hand blender was far louder).
