Amazon.com Review: For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes grated knuckles. For ease in resting the grater on the counter while in use, there's a hard acrylic frame around the metal. The frame also prevents scratches to your countertop. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the slightly curved grating surface makes it easy to use with oddly shaped chunks of chocolate. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. --Jill Lightner

Rating: - Upgrade to Professional version!
These Microplane graters are wonderful, but I recommend the Professional versions instead. If you use your graters a lot, the plastic edges will eventually break, so spend the extra few dollars and get the steel edged Professional versions to start with. I just replaced two graters myself because they broke.
Rating: - Works as Advertised
You can't beat this product for grating spices, especially directly into a receipe. Easy to wash, store and use. A must for every kitchen.
Rating: - Perfectly fine blade in a worse than useless plastic frame
That pretty much covers it. The blade is a classic, high-quality, sharp microplane blade. I love them - and I have 5 of the other "stick" style professional microplane graters. This, however, was my first microplane, and it would be sturdier if they made the frame out of a high quality dark chocolate. I don't even wash my graters in a dishwasher, and but plastic surround on this design began to crack within weeks - parts of it began falling off within months. Once that happens it becomes too flexible to use - not to mention the bits of clear plastic frame that in your food. Not good.

Rating: - fell apart
First the clear plastic rim cracked. Then the handle fell off. Now the plastic rim is falling off piece by piece.
It would be a fine grater, were it in one piece.
Rating: - you must have it
I own 3 different microplane graters, and they are incredible, if you like to cook, they are essentials in your kitchen.
