Apple Peeling Made Fun and Easy!
I recently purchased this apple peeler, corer, slicer after watching a friend use one at our campground. It was amazing. I love how the apples come off in spirils, they are fun and healthy! The only thing I would change is how to hook it on the counter or surface your using, it can be difficult. Over all I love this item though! I would highly recomend this item if you are an apple lover or cook with apples often! It' great.
Very handy, but not perfect
I have had three of this type of peeler/corer/slicer. The first was this one (The Pampered Chef Apple Peeler/corer/slicer) purchased probably at least 12 years ago which is now getting a bit dull. I bought the one that this review is for and another one (Apple Peeler Corer and Slicer Clamp Base - Back to Basics model A501) recently.
There are two parts to this review--the first deals with this TYPE of peeler, and the other deals with this particular peeler.
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, though:

Great for peeling apples!!!
We peeled 6 bushels of apples for applebutter. Progressive International Apple Peeler and Corer made the work go 10 times faster.
Didn't recieve pictured item (with straight blade) got one with a loop blade instead. I wanted the straight blade
Didn't recieve pictured item (with straight blade) got one with a loop blade instead. I wanted the straight blade thats why I ordered it from amazon. I could get the loop bladed one at my local grocery store.
Handy Dandy!
This is a handy, dandy, time saver, hand and wrist saver! My sister inherited our dad's peeler/corer; (it's been around for....ever). I was so pleased to recieve this one so quickly. So far i have done over 1200 lbs. of apples, taking my time and canning, ect. in just one week! Whipped up a deep dish apple pie the other day, only took me 20 minutes to go outside, get 15 apples (really big pie) and have it in the oven. Trust me, if you had peeled as many apples with a knife like I have...This handy dandy tool will make you feel like your on vacation!
note: super easy/quick clean up.
