This is the first OXO item I am pleased with. Tried many from this company and have discarded all. I do find their items expensive but if they work, it's great. This peeler is perfect, effortless peeling especially for a person with severe arthritic hands. it's nice size, comfortable to hold, appears to be strong. If the blade holds up longer than other Y peelers, I will definitely buy another as a spare. Usually Y peelers after awhile the blade seems to lose it's sharpness and position moves.Great peeler, my hand doesn’t cramp up while I use it, sharp enough to peel apples in addition to the finger print off my pinky finger (user error, product isn’t to blame). Best hand held peeler I’ve ever owned!So much easier to use than my other peelers. It’s really sharp and easy to use. I don’t think they could improve on it!1. Before use, observe placement of blade cover so that you can put it back on after you use it.2. Do not store in a drawer, hang up in a handy place3. Put on one of those antic cut gloves first, (believe me, it is that sharp!!).Then, smile, this baby flies!!Only peeler I use. A great product that was bought and used for its intended purposes. Great deal and glad I bought it.I like it. I have no dislikes.This is so easy to use, it's lightweight but sturdy. had a nice sharp blade and a blade protector for storage.it is sharp, don't finger the blades! So many 'peelers' get clogged up with a few strokes, that it felt almost miraculous to find this one... does not clog with peelings, cuts clost to the surface, so, little waste, is very fast, and stays sharp.Usually when a new kitchen utensil arrives through the door I panic. It's often the result of drinking copious amounts of wine and watching the late night shopping channel. I can't usually remember what the item is for or why I thought spending £24.99 on it was a good idea.Thank goodness I ordered this peeler when I was good and sober. I was delighted when it showed up, and even more delighted when I started peeling with it. It's not often a kitchen utensil will change your life, but this one will. It makes peeling such a joy sometimes I want to just start peeling other things with it that don't even need peeling. Just because it peels so well.Five stars OXO.I've been in the market for a good spud peeler when this here product was recommended to me (by amazon). It glides and peels so well that I got carried away and cut a small chunk out of my thumb but it was so smooth I didn't realize until there was blood on the spud. 10/10 peeler but don't get carried away.On first use this is so sharp it just glides so quickly and easily that I took off the top of my thumb. A guard on this would be useful. Safely back from A&E and discarded. Was really looking forward to using this product which is a real shame.Our last peeler gave up the ghost, so we had the daunting task in front of us, to buy a replacement that would take the constant abuse like that of its predecessor.This was highly rated in the search results and for good reason too, it is a fabulous little peeler, very comfortable in the hand and it comes so incredibly sharp, luckily it has a plastic sheath for the blade to ensure that no accidents occur.Having had it for a while now it is still in near perfect condition and performing just as well.Highly recommended!Seriously, sure you can get a basic plasticky peeler for half a pound in your average retail store, but the number of injuries, time wasted in peeling multiple vegetables and frustration you get from a poor quality peeler are just not worth the handful of extra pounds it takes you to buy one of these. Now I no longer have to cringe when I see that bag of potatoes waiting for me when I make mash, or that bowlful of vegetables that I need to peel for a soup. It works quickly, smoothly (and safely!) on some fruit too ( used it on kiwis, avocados, mangoes, even oranges!)Excellent build (also- it delivers what it's named after- "good grips"!) and good quality stainless steel blades that look to last a while.It's been months since I bought this product, and it's still as good as new!
