Customer Review: Best Buy!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have and much better than other apple peeler/cutters I have used. Makes eating an apple a snap and great for kids (takes the skin off). Makes making an apple pie pretty painless!!! Highly recommend.Customer Review: Best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Just purchased this item. I truely don't know what I did before I got it. It takes about 7 minutes to peel enough apples for an entire pie. It does absolutely great peeling potatoes... especially the ones you skin your knuckles on with a conventional peeler.Customer Review: Best kitchen gadget ever!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
5 Stars and No Argument! This strips peels off an apple in 3 seconds flat. Best little mechanical device there is, bar none. Be sure to dry it after washing or the steel rod will rust, and give it some WD-40 occasionally. This one is the highest rated of the bunch. Mine has a C-clamp instead of the vacuum base (I bought it at Ace Hardware) and I built a small table with a piece of 1" x 6" lumber. Cut three 12" lengths, use two for legs, one for the top. Screw and glue together, attach the peeler and you're in the apple cutting business. I also glued some mesh foam shelf liner to the bottom of the legs so it doesn't slip on the counter top. I've just made 12 lbs. of chunky cinnamon applesauce and canned it for the winter. Piece of cake...uh...apple pie! Do not hesitate to buy one!
Customer Review: Better than I expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't really sure about this gadget, but now that I've used it to make an apple crisp, I am a BELIEVER.
Setting it up is very easy -- all you really have to do is attach the fork at one end and the handle at the other. Then you have to go through the process of aligning everything so that it will peel/core correctly. In total, all of that took me about 10 minutes, maybe less. Very easy, no tools needed.
I tried it for the first time yesterday when I made a slow cooker apple crisp that required 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced. There was no way on God's green earth that I was going to do that by hand with a knife, so I whipped out this little doohickey.
It could not have been faster or easier. I was really expecting to have to put some muscle into it to make the apple go through the corer, but it actually goes through really easily. I did have to hold my hand down on the machine pretty firmly because it was slipping just a little bit, but just a little pressure kept it in place. I only needed one hand to turn the crank and it required little to no effort.
The apples came out perfectly peeled, cored, and sliced, except for a little bit of skin left on the very top and very bottom of the apple that the machine didn't catch. The core itself was very easy to remove from the machine after putting the apple through. All in all, doing 6 apples took me about 5 minutes. This machine is completely worth the money. I'll be making more apple pies and crisps from now on. :)
