(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) When I received this in the mail, I noticed that it looked like it was a returned item and was already used by someone, I let that pass and tried it out, so far I have done beets, apples, asian pears, not to bad but it takes a lot of flesh off with the peel, and it also leaves a lot of peel on the fruit as well, I still need to try with potatoes yet, but not bad if you have a lot of peeling to do!

My wife hated to peel potatoes, so I bought her this for one of her Christmas gifts, kinda as a joke. She opened it, kind of laughed at such an item....then we tried it out. I think she was amazed how fast and easy it does it's job. We have only used it a couple of times and not a lot of potatoes yet, but so far, works great. From what we have used it, I would recommend this product.

I don't know if the apples I am using are too big, but they seem to easily fit. First time, it peeled (easily, and in one long, continuous piece) ... but it didn't do the top or bottom 20% of the apple. Second time, it only peeled about 20-25% of the apple -- despite repeated attempts. It's going back.

Works, saves a lot of time and if done properly and not carelessly by scanning the entire instrument and checking if your fingers and everyone else's are out of the way is much safer than cutting them by hand. The cutting blade needs to be a little ways down from the top of the potato to keep it from breaking.

A few reviews that say it's cheap, all plastic, etc. you, my friends, are missing out on a very useful & effective tool. Sure, if the potato is super misshapen the blade won't make contact. And know that spiral ridges are left after peeling. But who cares? The fact is that this peeler makes really quick work of the arduous chore of peeling potatoes. While it doesn't look like a high-brow appliance and probably wouldn't be a good choice for an industrial kitchen, it's perfect for the home cook. Now I'll make my husband's fave potato salad more often.

This little gadget is perfect for me! I have arthritis is my hand and peeling potatoes is painful. I peel potatoes like I peel apples so my hand really hurts, and on Thanksgiving I peel 10 pounds. This peeler is wonderful, just put the tater on the stand, press the button and within seconds it's ready for the next one. It is all plastic, so nothing heavy duty or fancy, but don't let that fool ya!

PEELS VERY FAST!!!!!!. I first pot this to peel tamttos it scared me at first it went out of control on my pinky finger be careful and wear gloves when using. it left indents in my termites and wasted some. PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING COULD RESULT IN LIMB LOSS.

I now have to fight people to use this peeler. It has peeled at least 4 months of various potatoes and fruits and works great. Love this peeler. Who wouldn't give it 5 stars. I got it when it was on sale so I slapped a two year warrantee on it. Great for the money, no more stiff hands.

Ok so I know it sounds crazy to run off and buy a electric potato peeler because let's be honest peeling potatoes isn't hard. But since I make my husband to it I thought it would be a nice little gift. And yes it did he loves that little machine. All you do I'd plop the potato on the bottom spiked lower the arm down and turn on then presto peeled potatoe. Not like you need to be rocket scientist or anything. He did have an issue when it came to the blade he for the life of him couldn't get it back on. The instructions was very much help but with a real good look at the picture I was able to get it on.

For the price, this peeler is great. It works the best when peeling harder items, like apples or potatoes and not so well with soft ones, like kiwi. I have been using this for a month now and the blade is still quite sharp. It is not able to get the peel at the very top or bottom of the fruit, but otherwise, it works as expected.
