My wife, my mum and I have all found the KitchenAid Go Cordless Grater Slicer Shredder to be an amazing addition to the kitchen and home. It is one… Read more

of those items that doesn't come along very often and COMPLETELY CHANGES THE WAY YOU LIVE - FOR THE BETTER!

WE LOVE IT!

My wife and I live with my sister in-law, we are homestay hosts for two school students (whom we have to cook three meals a day), we have our own children, we have children that often stay overnight, and we have chickens and ducks. On any given night we have ten people living in our home.

The most significant improvements to our life that we have found with the KitchenAid Go Cordless Grater Slicer Shredder is it is VERY EASY TO CLEAN & STORE - also very safe to store, it provides ease of use with the cordless functionality, very quick and efficient to make and to prepare food, it offers a variety of options to slice, grate and shred, and most importantly - AT EVERY STAGE - IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO USE!

With all the people we need to cook for - up to ten on any given night - we have so many appliances in the home and our kitchen bench space is over utilised. The KitchenAid Cordless is so easy to store and even when in use, it takes up a minimal amount of space on the bench. The cutting tools actually come in a beautiful looking and easy to store cylinder, so you are no longer cutting your hands on slicers and graters while looking through kitchen drawers. We store the cutting drums in our large kitchen drawers with the spatulas, ladle's etc.

The KitchenAid Cordless is so easy to use, my wife and I are going to recommend it to some of our clients. We are both in home disability and aged care support workers and many of our clients cannot do things like grate, slice and shred. The KitchenAid Grater, Slicer, Shredder has the potential to improve their health (diet) and quality of life considerably. The different blades are easily interchangeable and just click in and eject very easily, while the master unit has a simple one-button control.

IT IS SO EASY TO CLEAN, BOTH IN THE KITCHEN SINK AND DISHAWASHER!

My wife is Vietnamese Australian and my ancestry is Polish, so we are making coleslaws all the time. The shredder is perfect for making a coleslaw and will shred the entire coleslaw in less than a minute.

TAKING IT TO PARKS FOR BBQS - We have even taken the KitchenAid Go Cordless Grater, Slicer, Shredder to the park when he have a picnic, and made the coleslaws at the park. One a Vietnamese coleslaw and the second one a Polish coleslaw. The battery life is long lasting and will last about half an hour and it takes about a minute to shred a batch of coleslaw. The battery charge time is very quick and takes less than an hour to fully charge.

Also, if you are like us and have all day bbqs at home and like people to have fresh salad, it so so easy to make a second batch of coleslaw as the day turns into the evening.

The slicing blade is also perfect for slicing many foods eg beetroot, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and onions. It is ideal for cooking dinners but I love it for my bbqs, as we like to cook and provide many foods other than meats. Fried potatoes on a bbq is a staple food item for me and the slice is so even, it makes the cook very easy and even.

We love the grater for the cheese that we have for our tacos as we often cook 2kg of mince meat so have tacos for many nights and go through many blocks of cheese. We also use the grater for nuts, which I have every morning. My sister in-law uses KitchenAid for grating chocolate as she is a pastry chef. Her feedback, as a chef, is that the KitchenAid Cordless Grater, Slicer, Shredder is the the most easy to use, store and clean device she has come across.

For whatever reason we can't explain, when we grate the cheese with the KitchenAid Go, it remains as single shreds of cheese. When we use the manual grater, for whatever reason, the cheese clumps together. My wife suggests this could be because when you use the manual grater, it heats the cheese because you are holding it in your hand, so the cheese then melts together. Try grating Kraft cheddar cheese manually and then with the use of the Kitchen Aid, and you will be amazed - like us.

The other amazing benefit when making something like tacos is that you might be grating carrots one minute and then cheese the next. In that situation, you can very easily rinse the blades under water and move onto grating the next food item.

We actually tried everything to look for negatives, but struggled. Other than perhaps saying it doesn't mow the lawn, which it isn't designed for, we struggled for a negative.

PETS - The perfect food for domestic chickens and ducks is left over vegetables and fruits. Anyone who feeds left over veggies to pets knows they often leave large amounts unless it is grated, which means rodents. It is simply not practical to pull out a electric shredder, grater etc to grate food daily for a pet, or leave such a large electric device it on the bench permanently. The KitchenAid Go Cordless Grater Slicer Shredder completely changes that equation, as it is very simple to clean the cutting blade and you can either leave it on the bench in a small gap, or pull it out easily each time you use it given the entire KitchenAid Go WEIGHS LESS THAN 1KG!

This solves all your pet feeding problems.

The KitchenAid Go Cordless Grater, Slicer, Shredder has improved the quality of life for my wife and myself given we regularly cook three meals per day for eight people, often cook for up to ten people and ideally we would provide grated veggies to seven ducks and chickens each day. We avoid processed foods for health reasons, Vietnamese people often have a cooked meal for lunch, so we are wondering how we ever lived without such an item in our kitchen. WE LOVE IT!

To be frank, you can't really go through the grind of preparing healthy meals and not having the Kitchen Aid Go in your kitchen toolbox. My mum has even asked us to buy her one so she can much more easily prepare her coleslaw's. Every Christmas and every birthday morning I remember my sisters manually grating away to create a large coleslaw. Those days are over.

Very happy with this slicer – Bought this for one purpose only, to slice home baked bread. The recipe & method used results in a very tough crusted loaf, and typical of a bread… Read more

maker, the loaf is quite tall, so difficult to cut manually. The machine arrived only a few days ago Ex Amazon, listed as "Ritter 501.020 Markant 05 Food Slicer", and it did a brilliant job, easily slicing through the thick crust, without force feeding it. Quality is typical of German made products, excellent fit and finish. Only time will tell if it lasts well, but initial impression is very positive, and the price was reasonable at Au$118. The only thing negative is the fact that it was delivered with two round pin plug, so had to use a cheap universal adaptor.

Great Slicer – I have had this slicer for years. It has sliced bread, ham, silverside and other meats. It slices well, still going strong. It is a bit of a pain to… Read more

clean, but nothing some hot soapy water and a brush doesn't fix. Would give it 5 stars, except for the cleaning issues, so gave it 4.

Best Electric Cheese Grater Around - Although might be hard to get at a reasonable price – The Ariete Gratì Metal Cheese Grater has a design that matches the classic, vintage model called the Ronson Presto that my mum and Nonna still have… Read more

from decades ago. Despite the design from ages ago, it looks great on the kitchen bench or on the wall if that's what you'd prefer, especially with the metal arm on top. Right out of the box, it's easy to see how user-friendly it is. Operating it is straightforward, and it's ready to go with just a press of a button.

Ease of Use and Charging: Using the Gratì is genuinely easy, which is something I appreciate in a gadget. However, the charging process leaves a bit to be desired. It’s rechargeable, and while that’s convenient, the NiMH battery is somewhat outdated, especially in today’s world where lithium batteries offer faster charging and better overall performance. With the Ariete, you're looking at quite a long charge time - upwards of 15 hours (according to the docs). That said, it compensates somewhat with a lasting charge; the device claims to grate up to 1 kg of cheese on a single charge, though I haven’t put that to the test.

Mounting and Accessories: One thoughtful design feature is the wall-mountable charging base. This is a nice touch for anyone looking to save a bit of counter space, keeping it ready to go when you need it. It comes with most of what you need, including the grater itself, the charging station, two interchangeable grating cylinders (a fine grate and a medium one), and a protective cover. Although it handles cheese grating well, an additional cylinder with a larger grate size would be useful for versatility.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Cleaning the Ariete Gratì Metal is straightforward but does require a bit of extra care. The device isn’t waterproof, so you’ll need to be cautious when rinsing it. Ariete does offer a waterproof model, though it’s nearly twice the price, which might not be worth it for everyone. For regular cleaning, a toothbrush or small cleaning brush works well to get into the small areas that tend to trap cheese residue.

Performance and Overall: Thoughts overall, the Ariete Gratì Metal is a solid choice if you’re looking for a rechargeable, aesthetically pleasing grater that handles its job well without too many frills. While it could benefit from a faster charging, more modern battery system and perhaps another grating cylinder option, it performs reliably and is easy enough to maintain. For those who want a more economical option that’s simple and functional, the Ariete Gratì Metal gets the job done, even if there are a few areas where it could be improved.

A little pricey for a cheese grater, but well worth it in my opinion. Can be purchased from Amazon.

Modification: After having used this for a while I figured out that this can be indeed converted to a lithium battery with a little electronic and soldering know-how. I purchased a 3.7V lithium battery and a small lithium battery charge controller IC (TP4056). Opened the unit and replaced the 2.4V NiMH battery with the lithium one, and mounted the charging controller inside the base station and connected the output to the existing charging contacts. To charge, I now plug in a USB C charger to the base and the grater will still charge from the base station as per normal. The result: The sightly higher voltage gives the grater more power (the motor turns slightly faster - yes, I'm aware that the higher voltage may damage the motor, but it hasn't happened yet), the battery holds it's charge for longer, and the battery will survive more recharge cycles before losing capacity.

After minimal use the blade suddenly stopped spinning, after stripping it down I discovered the internal drive cog is stripped. no problem I thought,… Read more

easy to change. No. after contacting Lenoxx Electronics I get told spare ones are not available? then I read the company website and they are so proud of it being environmentally friendly even saying how good their packaging is. I wouldn't need more packaging if you could supply a 5$ plastic cog.

Poorly designed. "thickness gauge" 1/5. Not accurate AND moves wide (15 cm) open when food is held against it to slice. Loose. NO adjustmentment. Needs a thumbscrew to hold selected thickness in place. Show details

AVOID- Advertises commercial quality, refuses refund when product fails within 12 weeks – Purchased meat slicer off thier eBay store in August 2022, advertised as commercial quality. Used in home setting for slicing soft meats for… Read more

dehydrating for my dog. Unit failed in November. Gears are plastic, not fit for purpose.

They deleted my first review. But I have been trying to get my refund for over 2 months now. They don't have a service agent in Australia, they won't accept return saying it's too heavy and cost too much to freight back to them. Then they make offers like $50 and you find someone to repair it, or 20% refund. All of which goes against ebay seller terms and ACCC terms. Promised me to pay refund 6th January still no refund and not responding to any messages requesting update. Customer service is the worst I have ever experienced.
