Knives are simply too dull

Puuhhh, I have now flushed and cleaned to get back to bring my kitchen clean after the tests, to obtain good results with EMSA multi-grater. Honest Opinion? No more second passage. My vegetables crying and I cry!

Before I forget: Where is the lid to the container?
Product description according to Emsa:
"EMSA Multi grater SMART KITCHEN, white / green
Three different inserts, finger protection, incl. fresh box
with lid, ergonomic grip, non-slip grating edge,
THE POSITIONING possible on bowls of various sizes,
Measurements: (B) 110 x (D) x 275 (H) 80 mm "

The Knife:
Egel, which of the three plates I suppose, the knives are simply too blunt. When I compare the Emsa grater with my old, so has still a sharper knife than these new here, and that has worked for years for me. Stands with the knives and falls the good result. So I crush the vegetables, have the juice on the countertop and ugly vegetables also looks out.
With tomatoes you can always best to test if the blades are sharp. My tomatoes say ouch, blunt and rupfige knife!

Setting the thickness of the cut:
There is no setting for the strength it did not work indeed! My old, who has under his belt tens of years, has a wheel, where I can firstly set the strength and then the pattern, whether smooth, fluted, etc.

Finger Guards:
That's a wobbling. The vegetables flying around in there and you can not access. My old grater (I do not want to constantly compare, but after the feeble attempt I love my old back to awful!) Has an essay in the manner of a juicer, down hooks, so I skewers the vegetables, and my fingers are protected, because the edge is bent as in the juicer upwards. A much simpler, but better solution.

Transparent drip tray:
This type of plastic is easily scratched, and there were already unpacking scratches in it. This cup is unsightly after a short time. But she at least has knobs and stands firmly on the work surface.

Sharp knives with the Alpha and the O a grater!
