Let me start out by saying that it is not this TYPE of peeler which I don't like, but this particular peeler. I have used three different types of these peelers: one of these (The Pampered Chef Apple Peeler/corer/slicer) from probably 12 years ago that is now getting dull, one of these (Progressive International Apple Peeler and Corer) that I bought recently, and the one being reviewed here.
First, I'll give my review of these types of peelers generally, and then I'll move on to the specifics of this one.
These peelers are handy. I do a lot of chunky applesauce, and the peeling/coring/slicing (especially the slicing) is very handy. They do have their problems,...Read more

We had an old model/original patent "Apple Peeler Slicer Corer" for over 30 years, that finally gave up the ghost last year. I replaced it with two of these - the second one for our vacation home. The peeler knife is different from the original, with a "looped" blade supported by a a "fixed" arm that is sprung fart to tightly. The peeler blade takes far too much apple with the peel and "maul's the apple in the process. Very unsatisfactory. Not at all pleased.
Great peeler!,

I'm not sure why the first review had such issues with the product. I've had this exact product for years and it does the job perfectly. I've never had to sharpen anything! It peels, cores, and slices the apples I use for applesauce and apple pie in minutes! I love it! I'm actually ordering one for my mother as well since she has been using mine and won't give it back!
Hope that helps!
