Wanted something to peel a large amount of potatoes for a crowd, but didn't want to order from UK, neither did I want a large commercial peeler. This works fine for my family's use. The peeler only peels 1/4 inch wide. Would be better if peelings were a little wider, as the job would get done even more quickly.

WORKS GREAT EASY TO USE. THE BATTERYPACK DID NOT WORK BUT I PLAN TO EXCHANGE AT THE STORE, ALL MY FIRENDS WANT TO GET ONE FOR IT BEATS PEELING THE POTATOS THE CUCUMBERS AND THE ORANGE BY HAND, GREAT ITEM TO GIVE AS A PRESENT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. THANK YOU

Since there was no instructions or anything with it, I had to figure it out for myself. It wasn't hard, but it would have been nice to know if there was any way to determine if set correctly. Trial and error figured that out fast. Still don't know how to change blade. Too sharp to just mess around with it. But over all figure it rate five stars.

First off I'm keeping in mind that this product only cost $20.00 while writing this review. What I like: It easy to use and speeds up potato peeling a great deal. It's also easy to clean. It can operate on 4 AA batteries or you can use the supplied adapter. Before I get into what I disliked about the product I will say that for the price I absolutely expected it to be made of all plastic. You'll still need a manual peeler to remove the skin on the top and the bottom but that's inherent with the product's design. It's a snap to remove the remaining skin but takes no time at all. That being said here's what I didn't like: Even for $20.00 the plastic is much too cheap and flimsy. They could have used a more durable plastic (not expecting ABS or anything like that for the price). It cuts too deeply which generates a lot of waste. Perhaps they could have designed a simple way to adjust the spring tension so that it doesn't waste so much but for other times you might want it to make deeper cuts. All in all it does a good job and speeds things up quite a bit.

To me this was the best invention in the world. We have a large family 52, children, grandchildren, nieces nephew, ect. and we are a big potato eating crowd. I can peel 20 pounds of potatoes in about 10 minutes. My whole family thinks this is great. Gave several a few years ago as Christmas presents, and got lots of hugs. I love my Rotato Express and my 89 year old mother loves hers also!

Love it! I have a spinal cord injury and don't have full use of my hands. I don't have to wait for anyone to peel potatoes or apples for me anymore! when I ordered it I thought for sure it was going to be a cheap piece of junk. Turns out it's just what I need!

You get a lot for what you pay, but the unit isn't very sturdy or robust. If you are careful with it, it should be fine. I would not have kids use it, it may not last a bushel. It goes through an average apple in just a few seconds leaving much less than a 1/2" at the top and bottom.

Best kitchen accessory EVER! This is going to sound ridiculous but I can not stand peeling potatoes...the number of times I have peeled myself instead of the potato is embarrassing. With this incredible tool, peeling is a breeze. I LOVE it and would recommend with no hesitation.

I have peeled 10 lbs. of potatoes and the peeler worked well and at a fast pace. I like that it runs off an AC current, by way of a standard wall socket. My only complaint is that it is made of light weight plastic and it feels like it could easily break. But it hasn't to date so I am obliged to rate it as very good.

It's SUPER unclear where the heck the blade is at. I didn't even get the bubble wrap all the way off before I had a deep slice in my finger that should probably get a stitch, but I haven't been able to look at it since I finally got it to stop bleeding. THERE SHOULD BE A COVER FOR THE BLADE PIECE. Yes, after I got the bubble wrap off and the instruction book out, there were a couple of warnings to DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE. Yeah. Got it the hard way. Any item that can slice you open just getting it out of the box and the bubble wrap pulled off is NOT SAFELY PACKAGED. It took me a few minutes of extraordinarily carefully looking for the actual blade to even find it. The blade unit needs to come off every time to rinse it off. I'm terrified I will inadvertently connect my finger again with the blade when I rinse or put away the item. AGAIN. The item needs better protection for not only unpacking it, but for storing and retrieval. It needs some kind of hood or plastic cup that fits over the entire red blade part. You should not be able to slice a finger open just trying to get the bubble wrap off! !!!!!!! I gave this item 3 stars because it actually works really well for the purpose it was intended. Fast and thorough. I tried mishapen red potatoes. The Starfrit Rotato took off all the peel except the very tops and bottoms, and the indents near the tops of some potatoes.
