4.0 out of 5 stars Apple Master Rocks!, November 24, 2006

This handy little device will save you hours of work if you like to make apple pies! It is very easy to work, easy to clean, and you can get 10-12 apples peeled, cored, and sliced in less than five minutes. You can also use it to peel potatoes, although I use mine just for apples. Trust me, it is awesome. The only bummer is that big genetically modified apples do not work, so get the bagged little ones. It is also a learning curve as to how to position the apples. But if you love to make apple pies, you will LOVE this!

I have had my Norpro apple/potato peeler for over 10 years and it's still going strong. I make lots of apple pies and crisps and use it for freezing apples in season. You won't be disappointed with this brand. I'm buying one today for my DIL who borrows my peeler all the time.

It doesn't peel those gigantic apples very well, so buy the bags of smaller apples when using this peeler.

This review is from: Apple Master Apple Peeler, Corer, and Slicer, Colors Vary (Kitchen)

This was purchased as a replacement for an older peeler/corer/slicer that clamped directly to the table very similar to http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Apple-Peeler-Corer-Slicer/dp/B003IRW1B8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1288612059&sr=8-4 .

The apple master was anything but. In the suction clamp mode it frequently came loose when attached to our kitchen table (wooden), and by frequently i mean every other apple. When attached to our laminated counter top it would work through 2 or three apples before coming loose. When used with the clamp the entire assembly sits at an odd angle (due to the clamping pressure being off center) and eventually (3 - 5 apples) works its way loose.

The corer can be rotated out of the way, which initially sounded like a plus, but ended up as a minus. Once moved it was finicky to get back to it's "proper place." Once "locked" down, it tends to drift and needs to be continually reset.

Overall, this product does not function as advertised. I recommend going with a different model.
