Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express - Electric Peeler
Customer Review: Absolutely wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always wanted to try an electric apple peeler, since I love making apple pies, but had low expectations. I have now used this machine several times per week since I bought it and absolutely LOVE it - I highly recommend it for anyone who cooks with apples or just loves eating peeled apples.Customer Review: Broken blades
Summary: 2 Stars
This item arrived with 2 broken blades. The packaging appeared fine, the blades just looked cheaply made. Blades got clogged super easy when peeling any kind of fruit or vegetable I tried. Only a small amount of the item would peel meaning I would have to restart it over and over again. I returned the peeler after one day, would not recommend it.Customer Review: Cheaply made version of the original peeler

I bought the Rotato to replace my old electric peeler that finally died. I needed to peel a large stack of potatoes for Thanksgiving, and thought I had it made when I remembered the Rotato sitting in the pantry, unused since receiving it earlier this year. What I pulled out of the box was a lightweight plastic ghost of the old peeler. The blade could not grab hold of the potato skin, just skipped along making nicks until it reached the bottom and turned itself off. I tried it on dry and wet potatoes. I'm envious of those reviewers who had good luck with their peelers; I could not get mine to work.Customer Review: Excellent Idea - Good Product

I was peeling 11lbs of white potato per week to make homemade dog food. It took forever by hand and my wrist would get sore.
The first Rotato Express I order was not the Deluxe model and it worked great after peeling well over 500 lbs of potato's in a 15month period it finally died.
I immediately ordered another this time the Deluxe model what a mistake this model did not perform well at all. It looked the same as my old one but didn't perform worth a hoot. I returned it and ordered the Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express model.
I don't know what the difference is between the two models but this one performs as well as my first one did. I highly recommend this unit to anyone that peels lots of potatos. Well worth the money if this one lasts as long as the first one did it cost less than .04 per pound of potatos peeled to use. Saves tons of time and my wrist doesn't get sore anymore. I have only used it with the electric adapter so cannot comment on the performance when using batteries.
I know there are some bad reviews out here. It would be nice to know if the others that have/had problems had the Deluxe version or the 93209 version.
Customer Review: Great Machine

I have used this peeler twice, with the last time doing 25lbs of odd shaped potatoes. Like others have commented it is a little flimsy but it works great. Twice I had to take off the blade and clean it and once it seemed to bind up. I'm not sure what that was all about. If this lasts any length of time it will be worth the money.
