The cord made a strange buzzing noise when plugged in. This is not supposed to happen, it's most likely defective and a fire hazard. I didn't get to try it out because of this so I have no idea if the items works good or not. Sadly I had to return it and am not willing to try another.

I bought this a few weeks ago. Peeled several potatoes. I kept re-peeling them down to about an inch. I took the pile of peels and put them in my deep fryer. Amazing crispy shoestring chips. Grandkids loved them. So much fun. I also just peeled potatoes for boiling so quick and eat. Easy clean up too"

I should of bought something like this YEARS ago. After having great difficulty using a knife due to arthritis this unit is a life saver. I would recommend this to everyone. Second benefit, Makes fantastic potatoes for home made hash browns too! After first peeling, just continue to make more peelings and cut them into small pieces.

It works great except on soft fruit. However, within a year I have my third Starfrit Peeler. First time it was my fault, I got the electrical part wet when cleaning up from the mess the soft fruit created, but I don't know what happened the second time. It just slowed down to a stop.

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.

I just bought 3 more as gifts after having used mine happily for the past few months. What a great gadget. The Rotato is especially useful during the holidays when it seems that I use lots of potatoes and apples. The Rotato is busy peeling while I'm slicing. We make a great team! What did I ever do without this!!

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.

I bought this for my grandma who has arthritis in her hands and can't peel potatoes anymore. When the peeler came I took it to her and she loves it! She peels everything! My mom asked me to order one for her, so I decided I would order one for myself. When I went to Walmart online there was no more available. I had to order somewhere else, but the product was great.

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 was very excited to find this item so that we could stop borrowing an older version from my mother-in-law and use our own. The problem was that we got all ready to can our pears, and the Rotato Express wouldn't start. My husband found that one wire was not soldered to anything (it looked like someone tried to solder it but missed the mark). Thankfully he knew how to fix it, but this was a huge oversight by Starfrit's quality control department. Now that we got the Rotato Express working, it seems to do a pretty good job (though it does remove more pear with the peeling than the older Dazee Stripper did). I just hope we don't find any more issues...
