- Honest reviewThe catch, not just the hype
Why this gift works
The Cambom is a rotary cheese grater that sits on the counter: twist the knob to lock its suction base onto a smooth worktop, load a chunk of cheese into the hopper and turn the crank. Three stainless steel drums click in without tools - fine shred, coarse shred and slice - so the same tool does fluffy parmesan, shredded cheddar for tacos, or sliced vegetables and nuts.
Keeping fingers away from the blades is the whole appeal: no scraped knuckles and no box grater sliding across the counter. It is a fun, useful gift for the pasta-and-cheese lover, the family that goes through a block of cheddar a week, or anyone who buys pre-shredded cheese because grating is a chore.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A family that goes through a block of cheese a week
- Someone tired of the box grater
- Anyone who buys pre-shredded cheese because grating is a chore
Think twice if
- They grate in bulk - a food processor wins there
- Their cabinets are already full of gadgets
The catch
It needs a smooth, non-porous counter for the suction base to grip, and it has a few parts to wash - the drums and hopper can go in the dishwasher, but the main body is hand-wash only.
Skip for someone who grates in bulk (a food processor wins there), or who has no cabinet space for another gadget.

How to use it
- Wipe the counter dry and twist the knob to lock the suction base onto a smooth, non-porous surface.
- Click in the drum you want - fine shred, coarse shred or slice. No tools needed.
- Cut the cheese into chunks that fit the hopper and load it.
- Set a bowl underneath and turn the handle clockwise; the gratings fall out below.
- Rinse the drums straight away, before cheese dries on, then run them through the dishwasher and wipe the body by hand.
What to look for in a rotary cheese grater
- Handheld or countertop. Handheld graters are squeezed and cranked over the plate; countertop models like this one lock down and are easier for bigger batches and tired hands.
- Stainless steel drums. Stainless drums stay sharp and do not rust. Check how many come in the box - this one has three.
- Dishwasher-safe parts. Drums that go in the dishwasher make cleanup quick. Here the drums and hopper do; the body is hand-wash.
- A base that holds. Suction bases only grip smooth counters - granite, laminate, glass or steel.
- Hopper size. A small hopper means cutting cheese into chunks first - fine for a plate or two, slower for a whole block.
Questions people ask
With its three drums it fine-shreds, coarse-shreds and slices, so it also handles nuts, chocolate and firm vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers.
