Know before you buy
No, Barry is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the unit with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the plastic body and the sharpness of the stainless steel blades.
Barry is specifically designed for shredding vegetables. While it handles common kitchen staples well, it is not intended for hard cheeses or frozen items.
No, this model does not include a finger guard, protective cover, or collection container. Please exercise caution while using the handheld shredder to avoid contact with the stainless steel blades.
The handle is constructed from durable plastic designed for manual operation. It provides a comfortable grip for standard shredding tasks, though it is not designed for heavy-duty, high-pressure grating.
The design does not feature a non-slip base. Because it is a handheld tool, you will need to maintain a firm grip on the unit while shredding your ingredients.
