Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel Peeler
Customer Review: Mom was right!
Summary: 5 Stars
I laughed when my mother said that one potato peeler was better than another. But then I tried using hers and I stopped laughing. If you normally use a peeler (that is, if you are not a tried-and-true knife-wielding peeler) you should try one of these. Borrow a friend's if you must. I don't know why the handle should make such a difference; you'd think the blade was the important part. Maybe the blade is better quality too, who knows. But it makes a world of difference to the person who is peeling, so much easier to peel, better control, whatever. I don't know. But the difference is amazing. I have one now, you betcha!
After you get one for yourself, you might be like me and end up buying them for every bridal shower's wishing well.
Customer Review: It just works! Fantastically!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the same potato peeler for the past five years and I thought it was perfect for what I needed. And it was. I finally had to buy a peeler for my mum and looked around for a similar (non-swivel) model and could not find any. I'm always leery about sharper objects twisting a bit, so I thought I'd give it a try. Boy have I been missing out...
The peeler does a fast and fantastic job of cleaning potatoes without the skipping you may get from older, duller peelers. I don't feel threatened by overly sharp edges on it. Works well whether my hands are wet or not - no slipping around at all. Rinses quickly and retains its finish. And of course, has the usual Oxo "comfy grip." Overall, it's wonderful buy for the price.
Customer Review: The BEST peeler EVER!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I'm a beginner cook and let me tell you...this is the absolute BEST peeler I could've EVER gotten!! It's SO easy to peel things! I just used it for the first time last night peeling cucumbers and boy oh boy, was it a whiz!!! Just about a week and a half ago, I was using a knife to peel things and it took FOREVER!! Now I'm looking for other things to peel cause this thing just works that good!! Just a *take care* heads up...watch your fingers around the blade cause that sucker works!! I haven't cut myself on it (yet), but I've read some of the other reviews and I can definitely agree, that blade is sharp! You definitely gotta pick yourself up one of these peelers! You WON'T regret it!Customer Review: I didn't think that I'd ever love a vegetable peeler!
Summary: 5 Stars
One vegetables peeler is as good as another right? That's what I thought. But when ATC rated this the best peeler and one of mine broke the same day, I tried this one. Less costly than several premium peelers, I was skeptical. When I got it home and tried it out, WOW was all that I could say, this really is the best peeler that I've ever used! It balances more like a knife than other models I've used, and the edge stays sharp. The swivel is smooth which makes for fewer passes on the vegetable saving time. If the edge ever dulls I can pick up a three pack of replacement blades for less than $5. Oxo really has a winner here! Works as well left or right handed.Customer Review: Amazing peeler
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this peeler when my old one died in my arms and I have to bury it in my backyard with tears in my eyes and a feeling that I will never be able to find the right peeler again that would be so easy on hands. Then I found Oxo peeler at amazon and read all the reviews. I was thrown with one of the most interesting problem since Einstein solved the relativity problem, pay little bit more for Oxo or get a $5-$6 peeler.
I am glad that I made this decision to buy Oxo, it was super nice on hands (grip is awesome). Peeling strokes are smooth, balance is just right. No more tears as this peeler is robust!
Highly recommended!
