I love this peeler. It's the best I've ever used and will never use anything else again. Well worth the price. One word of warning to those shopping on-line; the left and right handed peelers are designed to peel toward the body. If you are more apt to peel away from your body, get the peeler labeled for the opposite hand. I use a right-handed peeler with my left hand, and I love it.

I am a professional cook by trade. In my day I spend hours bent over a sink, peeling pounds and pounds of potatoes. So many potatoes, my white latex gloves change to a dark brown, well they would if I wasn't required to change them ever so often. But thats not the point. I've used many a different peelers in my time and I must say this is the most efficient, most comfortable, most durable peeler I've used so far. In fact, the reason I'm here is to buy another for a co worker. It's definitely worth the price.

First, the good stuff: this peeler is sharp, requires little effort in peeling away even the toughest skins and seems quite durable. I like having it, but I'm also holding on to my cheap little Oxo peeler for a couple of reasons: first, the Rosle produces very thick peels, which is a bit wasteful. Second, I tend to be a switch hitter in terms of peeling direction and really like having a peeler that can either peel toward me or away from me. The Rosle peels in only one direction and thus sells both a right-handed and left-handed peeler. That said, I do appreciate its sold stainless steel construction, which will resist rust for many more years than lesser models.

I own several Rosle kitchen gadgets, all of them excellent. Their peeler works much more smoothly and efficiently than others I've tried over the years. I'm right-handed but originally bought the left-handed peeler, because I peel potatoes pushing away from my body; however, I realized that sometimes I use a toward-the-body motion, as for oranges, and bought the right-handed version as well. Rosle does make a traditional swivel peeler, but the ease-of-use and design of the single-direction peelers made the extra expense worthwhile.

I first bought this style of potato peeler when I was living in Germany while my husband was stationed in the Army there. Over the years, I have so depended on this style of potato peeler that I haven't been able to use any other type. They peel so thin and easy, and peeling towards you is so much more natural than peeling away from you, that I have to have this style of potato peeler. I even take it on vacations with me!

Make no mistake this IS the BEST peeler $ can buy!!!! If your right handed you do want to buy the left handed peeler so you will be peeling AWAY from yourself.(yes I still peel with my right hand, its just the way it works out)So if you want to cut your peeling time DOWN IMMENSELY, you have to get one of these!! This would also make a great, wonderful, fantastic.... gift for anyone who likes to cook. Happy peeling to all! :)

This is the most efficient peeler I've ever used. It is definitely worth the price.

It looks really nice. But it is much more heavier that I expected. It's designed for men rather than women.
