Review on Microplane Elite Multi-Purpose Box Grater - Five Grating Surfaces, Including Fine, Coarse, Ribbon, Ultra-Coarse, and Slicing by Kristen Smith

Most graters are very useful given their competition. The blades are very sharp and are good for soft and hard cheeses and all the vegetables I've used. I use the largest holes the most. For finer cuts I use a special microplane grater. Like all graters, it is difficult to clean. It will definitely cut through all the sponges and brushes you use, even on the inside. Most cleaning occurs perpendicular to the cut surface. Some soft cheese may stick to the inside, so extra care must be taken when cleaning. One solution would be to make the side panels removable so you can get into all the crevices when cleaning.
