Advantages: The carrot strips are shaped and easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Needs to be rubbed correctly.
I am a big fan of not only eating, but also cooking. I love all kinds of salads and I’ve always wondered how you can cut such neat strips for carrots in Korean.
I started looking for such a grater and it turned out that similar devices exist, but they are not cheap, mostly expensive.
I found one grater in the middle price category - 150 rubles. It was released under the Multidom brand.
It's inexpensive and the promise that it grates carrots the Korean way was also present.
It turned out that any grater cuts carrots in Korean only when you move the carrot parallel to the grater with long, non-breaking movements. 
Since carrots are not a thick vegetable, it immediately becomes clear that there is a danger of cutting your fingers. And if you cut crosswise, you get this result: the straw looks similar to the one we need, but all the elements are short.
Everything else on this grater, one might say, does not work out: others vegetables - potatoes for potato pancakes, radishes, beets or cheese - all this is simply crumbled or crushed into some pieces. Only apples cut well, but only if they are hard varieties. 
But still, in the end, the salad takes on a decent appearance: beautiful and better than cutting it with a knife.
The cheap grater did not particularly justify itself, now we will talk about a grater that is produced under the Borner brand - this is a German manufacturer. The grater costs 750 rubles. 
But there is not much difference. It turned out that everything was the same - in order for such a grater to grate long strips of carrots, you need some kind of container the size of this grater. It’s probably better to buy this device with a container and some kind of holder into which the carrots are inserted to protect your hands.
The vegetable to be grated should definitely be long: the longer the carrots, the greater the chances of grating good thin strips. The rubbing technique must be well mastered and rehearsed: you need to move the knives in one direction, and not back and forth, but only away from you.
The grater copes with the task, but perhaps it rubs too finely; it could be even thicker. This is the straw you will get after this grater. 
It comes with instructions, which show and tell you how to work correctly in the form of graphic drawings and text.
You can also consider the Prof-Nikis grater - it is inexpensive, the price is about 50 rubles, but its blades are not very sharp and you need to put in more physical effort. In fact, the blades are not sharpened at all, but just iron. The body is made of bright orange plastic, but of poor quality: this is expected, because the products are cheap, so it is clear that nothing good will come here. Under strong pressure, the plastic bends. 
A grater made in Belarus. Apart from serious muscular efforts, it is not difficult to use, only during the work the knives get clogged - you often have to stop and clean the surface of the grater from grated vegetables. 
But the straw still turns out: however, the pieces are a bit short. Surely the reason is that I also rubbed the wrong way. I didn’t use any auxiliary containers: I worked on a cutting board.
All Korean carrot graters require a certain operating technique. If you learn how to grate properly, then almost any grater will do. It is advisable to purchase one that comes with a container for grated vegetables and some kind of attachment for holding vegetables while working, in order to protect your fingers.

I think many people fell in love with a simple and light dish - Korean-style carrots. And we all know that to cook it at home, you need a good grater. Therefore, below I have compiled a list of the best graters for cooking carrots in Korean.
A very convenient grater, which has the name "Roka".
Its convenience lies in the fact that it is lightweight, takes up little space, and its blades are quite sharp. The advantage of this grater is that you can grate other vegetables on this grater, that is, in fact, it is multifunctional. If you grate the cabbage, it will be cut into fine crumbs; if you grate the onion, then it will also come out into fine crumbs; this is suitable, for example, for cutlets. Chop carrots, beets, zucchini, and daikon into long, thin strips. You need to rub in the direction away from you. You also need to take into account that the longer the vegetable, the longer the straw will be. If you place the carrots in a vertical position, you will get very short straws, suitable, for example, for overcooking. In general, this grater has many functions and is suitable not only for carrots. But the price is also not small - 820 rubles. Personally, I think it's a bit pricey for a plastic grater. If it matters to anyone, it is sold in four colors, as in the picture - orange, red, green and purple.
But after searching around the shops I found a cheap alternative, there is almost the same grater for 76 rubles, for 199 rubles. They differ in quality. A grater for 76 rubles has blades that are not as sharp and the plastic is not as durable; a grater for 199 rubles has higher quality. Personally, I bought a grater for 199 rubles and have been using it for the second month, so far everything is intact and grates well.
This is a carrot grater. A very convenient device, but there are a number of disadvantages. Firstly, it takes a long time to rub on it, but if you cook only for yourself, then this is the most ideal device. Secondly, if you are not careful, you can cut yourself. To cut a carrot you just need to swipe it and that’s it. There are also many advantages, for example, the grater-knife takes up little space and is cheap. Costs about 120-250 rubles. The price depends on the store where you buy it, prices vary. But I can say that the item is of high quality, my friend has been using it for three months and has no complaints so far. Moreover, she said that she uses a grater-knife not only for carrots, but also for apples, cucumbers, and potatoes (she prepares potato pancakes).
I call it fashionable because it caused a great stir in the market for similar products. Its price is quite high. About 800-1500 rubles. Depends on the quality, brand and size. Friends say that it is very convenient (I personally have not tried it myself), they also told me that you can chop vegetables in 5 minutes. From this we can conclude that it is very effective in use. The downside is that it’s difficult to clean and the downside is that it takes up more space than the graters above. But for those who don’t care (it doesn’t wash well in the dishwasher), they can buy it with confidence. 
Personally, I think that she cuts too large and thick, well, it also depends on taste. Personally, I prefer Korean-style carrots to chalk. But because of this, I can’t call this invention bad, no matter how you look at it, it’s interesting, effective and practical.
There are different carrot graters, in different price categories and with different “abilities”. But I would call the first grater the most practical for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money (I mean alternative options). A second grater-knife is practical for those who live alone. The third grater is practical for those who cook a lot and are willing to spend money (well, wash it thoroughly for 15 minutes) on a grater.
