KSMVSA Fresh Prep Slicer and Shredder Attachment

I bought this to grate Parmesan cheese (and other cheeses) finely. After overcoming some operator errors, it works really well, with almost-zero mess, unlike the manual countertop cheese grinder I had purchased a few months before which was both clumsy and messy. And let’s not even talk about trying to finely-grind a huge hunk of Parmesan cheese with the box grater and the Kevlar glove! Cheese can seem to be a little stuck while grinding, but I’ve learned to let it run for a few seconds and it will dislodge itself…or it’s very easy to dislodge with a soft push from a kitchen knife. I really like that I can just leave the “attachment housing” on the mixer between uses. And if I also leave in the fine grating cylinder that I use most often (for said cheese), the other parts store in the KA bowl along with my balloon whisk and dough hook! Any bowl can be used to receive the cheese, so those parts just stay in the KA bowl while I grind into another bowl. It’s also very well-designed to help protect against accidental finger injury. The attachment housing hand-washes effortlessly. The slicing cylinders are easy to pre-clean by using a brush to remove cheese, and then go into the dishwasher. I’m very happy that I splurged to buy this attachment!

This attachment has been such a game changer in my kitchen. It attaches to my KitchenAid mixer in seconds and works incredibly smoothly. I love how quickly it shreds cheese; no more sore arms from hand grating! It also slices vegetables evenly and consistently, which makes meal prep so much faster. The three different blades are perfect for a variety of tasks. I’ve used it for shredding cheese, slicing cucumbers and zucchini, and even prepping potatoes. It saves so much time, especially when cooking larger meals. If you already own a KitchenAid stand mixer, this attachment is 100% worth adding to your collection. It makes everyday cooking easier and more efficient!

This cheese grater is awesome! I wish I would have bought this years ago. I works awesome. I prefer freshly grated cheese over the pregrated cheese that has flour on it. This grates very fast. Since it is made of stainless steel, it cleans pretty easily. It is made of quality materials. There is a small chunk that doesn't get grated, like a small bite size chunk. I usually eat it or offer it as a cheese tax for the cat. I do recommend this product.

Perfect edition to my KitchenAid!! Love these attachments! Hopefully one day I’ll get a RED KitchenAid to match the pic above!😁 I have a white one now and love it so so much❤️

Pros: Works exactly as advertised, will grate cheddar cheese blocks and carrots, will slice cucumber (not paper thin, but medium-thin, and they will be subtly curved due to drum curvature). Included in the set are medium and coarse graters, as well as a slicer. 3 metal-and-black-plastic drums overall, plus a white and clear plastic attachment to hold the drum to your Kitchenaid stand mixer, and a 2-piece clear plastic pestle to push the last stubs of cheese in, so that everything is grated. A total of 6 separate pieces in the box. Product manual says push speed setting to 4 while grating, but lower speeds, which allow for more human control, work just as well. Cons: the attachment doesn't angle down, it's level, so anything you grate doesn't fall easily out of the drum. They sometimes fly out, or eventually will fall out, but there is drum build-up, so you have turn off and to poke around with a chopstick to get everything out. There is a more expensive set from Kitchenaid where the drum is all-metal and is cone-shaped so that food falls out more easily (due to the angle). This set is cheaper because the drum is made of black plastic and metal, which costs less to manufacture. The drum is bigger to help food fall out while grating. Altogether, this is not a huge problem, you just have to be aware of this issue while grating. What I find more annoying is that the white and clear plastic part that attaches to the mixer is NOT dishwasher safe. It's very annoying to clean stuck cheese out of it, due to the weird angles. The rest of the set is dishwasher safe. Lastly, make sure you push the drum into the white attachment part until it CLICKS. Always make sure the stand mixer is turned off and unplugged before touching the drum.

Yes, it’s more expensive than the countertop cheese graters you can buy, but after going through three different ones that all failed me, I really wish I would’ve bought this from the start! I have two different KitchenAid stand mixers, and this attachment works perfectly with both of them. It’s easy to use, makes grating and shredding cheese so quick, and we love having freshly grated cheese whenever we need it. Cleanup isn’t too difficult either, which is always a huge plus. It’s definitely an investment compared to a basic cheese grater, but for us it has been completely worth it. I only wish I had purchased it sooner!

Shredding cheese has never been easier!

I have never had a grater and I cook all the time. What a great invention. Fast, easy, fits in easily. Works like a charm.

Accessoire de bonne facture, comme le robot de la marque. Le nettoyage est simple.

Slicing and grating is excellent, but shredding is horrible specially onion and tomato

Excelente aditamento, Me ahorró mucho trabajo, si tienes una Kitchen, sólo revisa que tu batidora tenga habilitado el ensamble. Facilita mucho el trabajo.

Arrived on time and it’s perfect

This grater works really well, it’s easy to fit and work. Think it’s a good value for money and glad I got it.
