It is great I would recommend it to friends and family fabulous machine.

My mom absolutely loves this machine:)

Overall it was good. Got all the veggies for 80 pasteles in about an hour-and-a-half (which was faster than my food processor). I didn't give this 5 stars because: 1) I had trouble removing the plunger between runs. There was a suction created that made it difficult. I had to use a butter knife to break the suction. And 2) It left way too many un-mushed pieces. I would expect that with pumpkin, but didn't expect it with the bananas or yautia (which is so soft you can almost mush it with your fingers). All in all I'm happy with the purchase.

Grandma Ann's grater is the best! It was easy to put together and easy to take apart to clean. This machine is a work horse,has a good weight to it so it doesn't move when I'm grating. I was able to grate 8 bags of green bananas,1/4 of a small pumpkin and 3 lbs of yautia all in about 10 minutes. I love this grater so much I went and bought 2 more for each of my two grown children. They also love their Grandma Ann's grater. You all need to go get yourself one asap,worth every penny! Thank you Grandma Ann for this beautiful machine!

Don't hesitate any longer, BUY IT. We were worried that the shred of the sweet potatoes would be too fine but we found that we still love them, even at this texture! We can shred SO MANY in 5 minutes. Clean up is easy too. I was expecting customer service to be awesome but the phone call that I made to the company (and left a voicemail) to ask about the bowl is still unanswered a week later....
