1. Makes slicing garlic a breeze!!

   I bought this Microplane grater b/c I have seen Rachael Ray using one to slice garlic on her talk show & thought "what a fantastic idea!" I cook with garlic a lot & have bought pretty much every gadget known to man that promises to slice it b/c it's one of my least favorite kitchen tasks. I have now thrown out any other garlic chopping/slicing gadget that I own. This is the only one you need! I haven't used it for anything else yet but I'm sure it will also come in handy for cheese, carrots, ginger, etc.. Clean-up is a breeze. Somebody said the handle fell off of theirs after putting it in the dishwasher. There's no need to clean it in a dishwasher, just rinse it right after using it before the grated food has a chance to harden on it & you're good to go.
   The only thing I would caution is to be extremely careful if you do use it for garlic or other small things as the blades are EXTREMELY sharp & I have already sliced off a good chunk of my fingernail! It was my fault & I have been a lot more careful since!

   I now have all three grades, and find them indispensable! After I purchased this, I read the home vs professional style, and have to say that I don't have a problem with the home series.

3. Not Dishwasher Safe

   This product works well. I actually have three different Microplane graters. Unfortunately after just two cycles through the dishwasher the handles all came off. I emailed the company to find out if their product is dishwasher safe and or if they could suggest a glue to reattach. The are kindly replacing at no cost. I have to give the product a two for durability otherwise I would give it a 4 for design and functionality. If you do not mind hand washing this would be a good product otherwise go for the stainless handle Microplane Professional models.

4. Move Over Box Grater!

   I love these little tools. Not only is it much easier to grate things like cheese or chocolate with a little handheld grater but it's so much easier to clean than my box grater. I have almost the entire collection of these microplaners: fine, coarse, ribbon, you name it because I just find them to be some of the most useful tools in my kitchen. I've had mine about a year and am still thrilled with them.

5. 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.
