We've been using this grater in our commercial kitchen for a variety of vegetables. The blades stay sharp, and the strong suction base keeps it steady, making our prep work fast and painless. It's a game changer compared to traditional graters.
Our team processes large quantities of produce daily, and this grater handles everything effortlessly. The snap-on blades save time, and it's much easier on our hands than other graters we've tried.
We rely on efficiency in our kitchen, and this grater delivers. It makes prepping vegetables smooth and quick, with none of the strain we used to experience with manual graters. The whole team loves it.
This grater has become a staple in our kitchen. It shreds everything from zucchini to carrots with ease, and the suction base keeps it stable even during heavy use. Our chefs appreciate the ergonomic design that eliminates hand fatigue.
Pick a blade. Change the whole meal.
Each blade drops in and out in about three seconds. Tap one below to see what it makes.
Rounds that all cook at the same speed
Drop in a potato, a cucumber or an onion and get slices of the same thickness from top to bottom. That's how you get a gratin where every layer is done at once.
Slaws and stir-fries in one pass
Cabbage, courgette and root veg come out in long fine strands — perfect for slaws, stir-fries or topping a salad. A full bowl in under a minute.
Real cheese, not the bagged stuff
Pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch to stop it clumping — that same starch stops it melting properly. Grate a block yourself and sauces come out creamy, not grainy. Doesn't slow on hard parmesan.
The cut that gets kids to eat vegetables
Wavy edges hold more oil and seasoning, so chips crisp up better and dips actually stay on the vegetable. Turns a plain carrot into something that looks like a treat.
One block of cheddar.
Three ways.
We timed the same 8oz block, start to finish, including setup and clean-up. The hand-crank model is the same shape as ours — the only difference is who turns the drum.
Timed in our own kitchen with a standard 8oz block of medium cheddar.
Your times will vary with the food you use.
Why not just use what you already own?
Fair question. Here's an honest look at the five ways people prep vegetables at home — including the hand-crank graters this gets confused with.

Questions? We're here to answer
How do I clean it?
How do I clean it?
Take out the blade drum, the chute and the plunger. All three go in the dishwasher, top rack. The motor base never touches food, so just wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not put the base in water.
Rinse the blade right after grating cheese. Dried cheese is much harder to get off than wet cheese.
Is it actually safe to use?
Is it actually safe to use?
Yes, and this is the main reason people switch to it. Your hand rests on the plunger at the top of the chute. The blade spins inside a closed drum below, so there is no way to reach it while the machine is running.
Compare that with a mandoline, where the blade is out in the open and your fingers move straight over it.
Do I have to turn a handle?
Do I have to turn a handle?
No. This is the part people get wrong most often, because nearly every rotary grater that looks like this one is manual. Prepmaster runs on a motor — you press the switch and the drum spins on its own.
All you do is rest the plunger on the food. There is no cranking, which is why it works just as well for someone with arthritis or a weak grip.
Will it slide around the counter?
Will it slide around the counter?
No. It has a weighted base and four rubber grip feet, so it holds still while it runs. You can push down firmly with one hand and it will not shift.
Manual graters usually rely on a single suction cup, and that suction tends to release exactly when you press hardest. That is the wobble people complain about, and there is no suction cup here to fail.
How many blades come in the box?
How many blades come in the box?
Four stainless steel drums: a slicer, a coarse shredder, a fine grater and a crinkle cutter. They store in a drawer built into the base of the unit, so they can't get lost in a kitchen drawer.
What foods can it handle?
What foods can it handle?
Firm foods work best: potatoes, carrots, courgette, cucumber, cabbage, beetroot, apples, onions, hard and semi-hard cheese, chocolate and nuts.
It's not built for very soft foods like ripe tomatoes, bananas or soft mozzarella, and it will not grind meat.
Will the plastic clips break like on cheaper models?
Will the plastic clips break like on cheaper models?
This is the most common complaint about budget rotary graters, so it's a fair thing to ask. The drum on the prepmaster locks with a metal-reinforced collar rather than a thin plastic tab.
If a clip does fail inside two years, the warranty covers it and we ship a replacement free.
What plug does it come with?
What plug does it come with?
We ship the correct plug for your country automatically. US and Canada get a Type A/B plug, the UK gets a fused Type G plug, and Australia and New Zealand get a Type I plug. You don't need an adapter.
