OK, I gotta a '2 for one' at a home show. Gave one to my daughter. After a couple years of use and that did take some forceful churning....the white center broke off bottom, where pin inserts. I could not use this for volume anyway, but I liked it for table use. If someone wants a little more cheese, "grate your own". I don't like pre-grated cheese--even grated at home. Like it fresh grated--Italian, I am!! Just last week, I talked my daughter out of hers, as she, like so many others, did not like it or hardly ever use it. Like I said, ONLY for table use. Otherwise, I'd give it one star for volume use.
