Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This odd-looking contraption peels, cores, and slices a basket of apples for a tarte, a crisp, or fritters in less time and with less effort than can be done by hand. The old-fashioned apple peeler has a suction cup bottom to keep it steady on a work surface and a clamp to secure it to the edge of a counter or cutting board. To use, skewer an apple on the end of the apple peeler’s three-pronged fork with the tines positioned around the core of the apple. Next, swing the arm that holds the peeling blade toward the apple so it’s just grazing the skin. Start turning the apple corer’s hand crank and the machine simultaneously removes the apple’s skin and core while cutting it into narrow slices that are perfect for pie and desserts or dehydrating. A release button helps you to easily remove your finished apple from the fork. This apple peeler/corer is made of sturdy aluminum and weighs four pounds. Progressive provides an extra blade with the tool and covers it under a five-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

I had a small problem with this apple peeler, as I bake apple pies quite a bit. The blade bent, and would no longer core and peel fully. Well..I contacted Progressive, and they immediately had me send it back to them. They found the problem, let me know what it was..then sent me a new one, no questions asked. I love this peeler..so I was quite happy and very impressed. The point is..if you have a problem, they will remedy it immediately. Buy this peeler..as it works great, saves lots of time and you can rely on Progressive 100%! They stand behind their products..and don't look to blame you for any malfunction, as many companies do. :)

I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these. When I think of how many Holidays I stayed up late peeling potatoes.
I love peeler, I can cut a 10pd bag of potatoes in 12-20 mins!
We even tried cucumbers, and it works well with any fruit or veggie that is hard and has a skin. So now when my family wants homemade mashed potatoes or potatoe salad, they get it and I am not in the kitchen all day.

I've had one of these for years and it is the greatest. The clamp on style works better than the suction cup type, I think. Mine has interchangeable blades so it will peel and core or peel and spiral slice. Works for firm pears and potatoes as well as apples. And it is unusual enough that children {and men!} are willing to help just to get to work it!
