4.0 out of 5 stars Apple Skinner/Slicer/Corer, December 8, 2009

This review is from: Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction Base (Kitchen)

This item peels apples amazingly fast, as fast as you can turn the handle.
It makes the job of peeling and slicing the apples the shortest part of the job when preparing apple desserts.
Really worth the money spent, in saved time and frustration.
It will peel, core and slice an apple as fast as you can turn the handle, about 30 seconds per apple.
You'll probably peel more apples then you need, just because it's neat to watch it work.

Minus: You have to hold the cutter back until it gets started on BIG apples (or LARGE potatoes).
You need a smooth non porious surface to attach it too or it requires two hands to use it.

Recently purchased this Apple Peeler as a novelty item for Christmas. My 9 year old daughter loves apples but hates the peel. I taught her how to use a potato peeler but she struggled. With this Victorio Apple Peeler she can have an apple peeled, cored, and sliced in less than 30 seconds. Now she eats an apple a day and loves using this gadget. My 12 year old who used to eat the apple without peeling also loves using this item. I find that the waste less apple using this than other methods.
