After my first Kenwood grater I have after the battery has given up the ghost after many years, tried various other models. There is no alternative to this grater. The money I wa in cheaper mispurchases put have, I should have put the same for the purchase of a new Kenwood grater. The battery runs and runs, the rubbing strength is high, and even the "touching up" at the table is the grater no eyesore. Everyone wants something to eat Parmesan. I can recommend the grater uneinheschränkt and will never buy another again! I know it sounds exaggerated, but if you had only once, can keep no other.
