ALDI Ambiano Electric Multifunction Food Grater

A piece of rubbish – Just about to make a pie with the ingredients of grated zucchini, carrots and potatoes - to now discover that the grater parts will not attach to the main machine. The device is obviously faulty and no doubt all the Aldi customers are returning them. In future, I will think twice about buying an Aldi bargain.

Poor performance with little power – Very disappointed, was so excited to buy it got it home and just didn't perform the way I was expecting. I was not happy at all. Took it back for a refund Show details

Mushed and wouldn't grate – I tried it with cucumber, capsicum and carrot, and was incredibly disappointed with the results. It made a terrible mushed-up mess of the carrot and capsicum. I'll be returning it, it's clear the motor is just not powerful enough for the task it is meant to fulfill. Aldi products are usually quite good, this is a real let-down. Poor quality motor, not strong enough for the job.

What you have to realise is that this machine is only little , so you have to be gentle. When using it, you don't push hard on the food, just keep a gentle pressure or you can bend the connecter & then it will be stuck. My DD did this & we had a tough time seperating the parts.

We've grated & sliced cheese, carrot chocolate, onions & it works very well, although bits of food do get between the grater and body of the machine. No biggie, it's not very much. Had an issue with leek, the outer layer wrapped right around the shaft & it made a funny noise & stopped. But when I got it all out, the machine started up happily enough & grated me some cheese. No more fibrous things then.

So overall a great little machine for the price. & the parts go in the dishwasher, taking up less room than the old box grater. Inexpensive, dishwasherble, very, very handy, safe to use You do have to take care with how you use it. No good with soft or fibrous things - tends to mangle tomatoes
