Zyliss Cheese grater - unfortunately verschlimmbessert

We had already twice a Zyliss Cheese grater, both of which have held about 2j, to the upper casing is torn on the handle side facing (bought about 2002 and 2006). She has been the best in the long line of Parmesan rubbing tests. It is great that the grater is equally suitable for either hand. The filling area is so high that relatively little herausbröselt, even if you hold the grater slight angle.

After the present Microplane is broken by 10Monaten, so I have another Zyliss bought. The model was revised. The filling area has 2 ridges, the printing plate corresponding groove, the wall to pressure grip is changed slightly, the pressure handle themselves well. Does everything a good impression.

BUT: on the pretext of better operability a breaking point was installed. Very bad and reason for at least one star deduction. The rotary handle has been a single robust kompacktes plastic part, the part that does not guarantee breaks. Now is the twist grip of two parts, the long piece for locking and the part that you hold. The latter is now rubberized, angular and connected via a wobbly axis / plug-in connection with the locking piece. It's just a matter of time until the handle right here is falling apart, when the piece of cheese is slightly harder. This is big crap. Here a good product was significantly deteriorated.

Supplement May 2015. The grater itself is still great, no cracks in the housing, but now the rubber has released from the rotary handle, so they like to slip when turning times from.

However, these small grater has grated Parmesan good 10kg and was about 65 times in the dishwasher
