A full-size four-sided grater with a graduated container and lid, and a warning to check your storage space.
What we would actually buy The only listing on this shelf that warns you to check whether it will fit your cupboard — which on a full-size box grater is the complaint nobody else anticipates. Its published weight of 227 grams is half that of KitchenAid’s identically sized model.
“please refer to the product dimensions listed on this page before purchasing to ensure it fits your storage space”
A full-size box grater is one of the worst-shaped objects in a kitchen: a ten-inch tower with a container on the bottom, too tall for many wall cupboards and no use at all lying in a drawer.
This is the only listing on this shelf to raise it.
The other one that treats it as a problem solves it instead: OXO claims “slim construction conveniently fits into drawers”, and its published depth of 74 mm (2.91 in) supports that.
Ten graters on this shelf publish no usable dimensions at all, which makes the question unanswerable until the box arrives.
This grater is 262 mm (10.3 in) tall — about ten and a half inches — plus the container.
Freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
No other listing here claims all three. That turns the container from a catcher into a pot: grate a block of cheddar, snap the lid on, into the freezer, and microwave from it later.
And the graduations are published — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 1-1/2 cup, 2 cup — which is what lets you measure as you grate instead of grating and then measuring into something else.
Six graters on this shelf have a detachable container. Only the three KitchenAids publish cup markings; GORILLA GRIP says “includes measurements” without figures, and OXO and Urbanstrive publish none at all.
What is missing is the total capacity: only KitchenAid’s 4-Sided model gives one, a 3-cup container graduated to 2.
This listing has exactly the same external dimensions as the 499 g (17.6 oz) model at less than half the mass. In the same material, that is not plausible.
And it is the same price as the charcoal model, with the same four surfaces and the same cup markings, at 227 g (8 oz) against 458 g (16.2 oz).
Treat the weights as unreliable. The figure that cross-checks is the shared 262 mm (10.3 in) height.
On the published 227 g (8 oz), this works out at 11.4 grams of metal per dollar — near the bottom of this shelf, where Urbanstrive gives 33.1.
Coarse, medium, fine, slicer. Only Martha Stewart differs on this shelf, with a fine and an extra-fine instead of a medium.
Mass on a grater is panel stiffness — a thin face flexes under a hard block and the cutting edges skip — which is why the weight question is worth pursuing rather than shrugging at.
No warranty on this listing. KitchenAid’s 4-Sided model, $5 more, publishes “1-year Hassle-Free replacement and lifetime limited”. This one and the charcoal Gourmet publish nothing.
No steel grade. Urbanstrive, Cuisipro and WALDWERK publish 304 here; ten listings say only “stainless steel”.
No blade process, which only WALDWERK addresses — other manufacturers cheaply stamp the blades… we etch them.
No non-slip base stated, where eleven graters on this shelf have one.
On sale at around $20 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Because a full-size box grater is one of the worst-shaped objects in a kitchen, and this is the only listing on this shelf to admit it. KitchenAid writes: "This is a full-size box grater designed for countertop use; please refer to the product dimensions listed on this page before purchasing to ensure it fits your storage space." At 262 mm (10.3 in) tall — about ten and a half inches — plus a container on the bottom, it will not lie flat in a drawer and it is too tall for many wall cupboards. The only other listing here that treats this as a problem is OXO, which solves it: "Slim construction conveniently fits into drawers." Ten graters on this shelf publish no usable dimensions at all, which makes the question unanswerable before delivery.
It should not be, and the three figures cannot all be right. KitchenAid has three graters on this shelf: the Gourmet Box Grater in charcoal gray at $19.99 and 458 g (16.2 oz) (128 × 163 × 262 mm), the 4-Sided with storage container at $24.99 and 499 g (17.6 oz) (133 × 165 × 262 mm), and this one at $19.99 and 227 g (8 oz) — with dimensions of 133 × 165 × 262 mm (5.24 × 6.50 × 10.3 in), identical to the 499 g (17.6 oz) model. The same external size at less than half the mass is not plausible in the same material. And this and the charcoal model are the same price, the same four surfaces and the same cup markings, at 227 g (8 oz) and 458 g (16.2 oz). Treat the weights as unreliable; the one figure that can be cross-checked is the shared 262 mm (10.3 in) height.
It turns the container from a catcher into a storage pot, and no other listing here claims the full set. KitchenAid states: "the container and lid are freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe, and the grater itself is dishwasher safe." So you can grate a block of cheddar, snap the lid on, put the whole thing in the freezer, and later microwave from it. Six graters on this shelf have a detachable container — the three KitchenAids, GORILLA GRIP, OXO and Urbanstrive — and of those only the KitchenAids publish cup graduations (1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2 cups), which is what lets you measure as you grate rather than grating then measuring. GORILLA GRIP says "includes measurements" without figures; OXO and Urbanstrive publish none.
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
