A 9.5-inch four-sided grater whose fourth surface is an extra-fine grater, not only a slicer.
What we would actually buy Nine and a half inches, four sides, and the shortest bullet list on this shelf that still says something useful — the fourth side is an extra-fine grater rather than a slicer, which makes this the only one with two fine surfaces.
This is the only grater on this shelf whose surfaces are not the standard set.
Eleven listings here describe the same four: coarse, medium, fine/zester, slicer.
This one lists a fine grater, coarse grater, slicer, and extra-fine grater.
So where everyone else has a medium shred, this has a second fine surface.
Good for the powder end. A true dust of parmesan — the kind that melts into hot pasta instead of sitting on top of it. Nutmeg. Hard cinnamon. Garlic reduced to a paste. Citrus zest fine enough to take no pith with it.
Having two different fine surfaces means one for zest and aromatics and one for hard cheese, and neither clogging the other.
What it costs is the medium shred, and that is the one most people actually use for cheddar: coarse gives chunks too big for a sandwich, fine turns cheddar into a smear. Medium is the sweet spot for everyday cheese.
So the choice is genuinely about what you grate. Parmesan, spices and zest — this. A block of cheddar twice a week — one of the eleven with a medium side.
“WHAT’S IN THE BOX: One stainless steel 4-sided box grater.”
Which is refreshing, and the answer is: nothing else. No container, no lid, no scraper.
Six graters on this shelf have a detachable container — the three KitchenAids, GORILLA GRIP, OXO, Urbanstrive. Seven do not.
What this has instead is a non-slip base that “keeps the grater in place and collects grated food”, which is the other approach entirely: grate straight onto a board, with the base sealing the bottom edge so nothing escapes underneath. Spring Chef on this shelf is the listing that names that second function out loud.
Mid-shelf, at 20.3 grams per dollar:
Mass on a box grater is panel stiffness: a thin face flexes when you press hard cheese against it, and a flexing face makes the edges skip.
Only the height is published.
Three graters here give dimensions you can measure a drawer against — GORILLA GRIP (5 × 3.1 × 9.2 in), Norpro (9.25 × 4.25 × 3.25 in) — and KitchenAid gives a 10-inch height in its title.
The width and depth are what decide whether a grater fits anywhere, and they are missing. Two listings on this shelf treat storage as a real problem: OXO claims its “slim construction conveniently fits into drawers”, and KitchenAid tells buyers to check the dimensions “to ensure it fits your storage space”.
No steel grade. Urbanstrive, Cuisipro and WALDWERK publish 304 here; ten say only “stainless steel”. The cheap grade sold under that word is 430, which rusts at punched edges.
No blade process, which only WALDWERK addresses — by naming what the rest do: other manufacturers cheaply stamp the blades out of the material. We etch them.
No warranty. Only WALDWERK and one of the three KitchenAid listings publish one.
On sale at around $15 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

It changes what the tool is best at, and this is the only grater on this shelf configured that way. Eleven listings here describe the same four surfaces: coarse, medium, fine/zester and a slicer. Martha Stewart lists "a fine grater, coarse grater, slicer, and extra-fine grater" — so where everyone else has a medium shred, this has a second fine surface. What that buys you is the powder end of grating: a true dust of parmesan that melts into pasta rather than sitting on it, nutmeg, hard cinnamon, garlic, a fine citrus zest with no pith. What it costs you is the medium shred, which is the one most people reach for with cheddar — coarse is too chunky for a sandwich and fine turns cheddar to paste. Choose by what you grate most.
The listing does not say, and only the height is published. Three graters on this shelf publish usable dimensions — GORILLA GRIP at 5 × 3.1 × 9.2 in and Norpro at 9.25 × 4.25 × 3.25 in — plus KitchenAid’s 10 in height in its title. At 9.5 inches this sits between the two measured ones in height, but the width and depth that decide whether it fits a drawer are missing. That matters more on this product than most: a box grater is an awkward tower, and two listings here address storage explicitly — OXO claims its "slim construction conveniently fits into drawers", and KitchenAid warns buyers to "refer to the product dimensions... to ensure it fits your storage space".
Nothing, and the listing is unusually direct about it: "WHAT’S IN THE BOX: One stainless steel 4-sided box grater." No container, no lid, no scraper. Six graters on this shelf come with a detachable container — the three KitchenAids, GORILLA GRIP, OXO and Urbanstrive — and seven, including this one, do not. What it does have is a non-slip base that "keeps the grater in place and collects grated food", which is the other approach: grate straight onto a board or a plate, with the base sealing the bottom edge so nothing escapes underneath. Spring Chef on this shelf names that second function explicitly. Whether you want a container comes down to whether you grate ahead or grate to order.
