Brendo
Cheese grater

The cheese grater from the Brendo brand is a high-quality product for grating different types of cheese.
The grater is made of robust stainless steel and has a sturdy rubber handle that provides the necessary grip.
In addition to the cheese grater, a blade guard, a cleaning brush, instructions for use and a finger guard are also included. The blade guard was particularly impressive in the practical test: the guard is pulled over each individual finger like a thimble and ensures that no accidents happen with the sharp grater.
The grater is shaped in such a way that the cheese can be optimally grated. Slicing the cheese is very quick and easy .
The product is available in two different colours to suit your taste: anthracite and black.
A recipe book, which can be accessed via a QR code printed on the instructions for use, rounds off this sophisticated product perfectly.
This product impresses with the use of high-quality material components and the resulting durability. The cheese grater also makes it possible to grate a wide variety of cheeses efficiently and quickly .
It would be desirable to use fewer plastic components for despatch and packaging.

  • Efficient grating of a wide variety of cheeses
  • High-quality product components
  • Finger protection to prevent injuries
  • Reduction of plastic components desirable

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The cheese grater was sent in a plastic bag .

Inside the plastic bag was an elongated, narrow product box with an attractive design.

In addition to the cheese grater, the box also contains a blade guard, instructions for use in the form of a flyer, a cleaning brush and finger protection caps. The finger protection caps are packed in plastic.

In terms of sustainability, it would be desirable for the seller to use a shipping carton instead of a plastic bag in future and to check whether the plastic film used to pack the finger protection caps could also be replaced by a more environmentally friendly alternative.

The instructions for use are a compact step-by-step guide to using and cleaning the product.

The Brendo cheese grater was tested on different types of cheese.
The product is basically self-explanatory, the grater can be optimally positioned on the surface .
When you pick up the rubber handle, you immediately notice that it is non-slip. It fits well in the palm of the hand and is designed in such a way that it can be used by hands of different sizes and therefore by almost everyone.
In terms of the efficiency of the friction, the practical test showed that the grater glides smoothly over the surface of the cheese and the abrasion works very well .
In terms of cleaning and care, the product scores highly with the small brush supplied: This can easily reach hard-to-reach areas and thus provides optimum support during cleaning.

The finger protection caps , which are included in the scope of delivery, round off this well-designed product. They can be pulled over each individual finger like a thimble and provide optimum protection against injuries.
In the practical test , this product was particularly impressive due to its efficiency, ease of cleaning and the finger protection supplied .
