Amazon.com Product Description

Peeling potatoes for a soup or apples for an apple pie doesn't have to take all afternoon thanks to this unique appliance. The electric peeler can automatically peel up to two pounds in one to four minutes. Simply place several potatoes into the bowl, snap on the cover, and turn on the power switch--the electric peeler takes care of the rest. Its see-through cover allows for safely checking on the peeling progress at a glance. A bonus salad-spinner attachment comes included for drying leafy vegetables in no time. The unit's removable bowl and peeling disc clean quickly by hand or in the dishwasher, and the cord stores inside the base when not in use. The electric peeler measures 15 by 15 by 16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE!, April 18, 2008

I usually steer away from things like this, but this is one gizmo I am GLAD I BOUGHT! I like it so much I am considering buying another one in case this one craps out on me! I never want to be without one! It is very noisy, but I don't care, it's worth going through some noise to make potato peeling SO MUCH easier and faster! I have a family of 8 in this house, and I peel a lot of potatoes. Now I can have a 5 pound bag peeled and in the pot in 10 to 15 minutes, compared to peeling manually for over a half hour with a paring knife or veggie peeler. I still have to cut out the deeper pits but I do that while some are in the peeler. Now I don't even dread the 30+ pounds of potatoes I have to peel and mash at Thanksgiving...heck, I am actually looking forward to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS! IT REALLY WORKS!!, September 19, 2008

This review is from: Presto 02905 Peel a Meal Electric Peeler (Kitchen)

I tried this peeler for the first time today and everything went smoothly. The directions are easy to follow and it is designed for peeling small and medium size potatoes, carrots and apples. The potatoes and carrots have to be cut so they are about 1/2 inch shorter than the hub to wall bowl distance -- the maximum length is 2-3/4 inches (I had a large potato, so I cut it in half, then sliced about 3/4 inch off each piece to fit).

It took only 1-1/2 minutes for the potato (a russet) to be perfectly peeled. The peeler exerts a strong motion, but does not jump out of place. I held my hand on the lid just in case, but it was not necessary.

It also comes with an insert piece - a salad spinner with ring. The spinner can also be used as a colander at the end of the peeling process. All is dishwasher safe except the see-through cover and the motorized base.

In making recipes where many ingredients have to be peeled, this machine really lightens the task. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I had to make 10 lbs of potato salad for Thanksgiving so I went online to see if I could find a nice peeler and I came across the Peel a Meal Electric Peeler. Despite the rave reviews I was a little leery but decided to give it a try. I was shocked! This thing really works. I had peeled all 10 lbs of potatos in about 6 minutes. I just used it again for Christmas eve dinner to make Mashed potatos and again it worked perfect. It is also very easy and quick to clean.
