Apple Peeler and Corer by Cucina Pro - Long Lasting Chrome Cast Iron with Countertop Suction Cup, White

So yes, the handle comes backwards so it'll fit in a smaller box. You can just untwist it and put it on the other direction. Once it's on the other direction, you'll need to unscrew it if you want to flip it back. And it takes some adjusting and then some more fine tuning to get everything aligned the way you want it, but once that's done you can just go, go, go. We have an apple tree and a pear tree and this was incredibly helpful in prepping our surplus apples for the dehydrator. Pears- if they're ripe, it won't work on them. Their skin is too delicate and they're too soft to stand up to this without the core prongs stripping the pear. But those are far easier for me to process than apples, so I was fine with that (I just used a good paring knife and a sturdy pepper corer). The suction worked perfectly throughout several sessions, just make sure there's no debris or uneven surfaces. It can be a little difficult to clean all its nooks and crannies, but I just took a dish brush to all those blade-y and spring-y parts. All-in-all, if processing apples is a part of your life, this is a great little gadget to have.

Christmas gift

No way to hold it still while operating it without hanging onto top part.. suction cups are useless. Easy to use. Only used on apples. Apples must have no bruising/blemishes in order for peeler to work smoothly.

The suction lever really holds tight when put on a clean dry surface AND, don't panic if you buy it & notice that the handle is on backwards. This is on purpose for packaging. A Phillips screwdriver removes it & then u just screw it in on the proper side. Watch my vid. As soon as I buy some apples I will update my review. But for now, It Really is sturdy, excellent design & fun to use. Hope this info helps.++++Also, if you DON'T WANT to Core/Slice your apples & U simply want to peel them ONLY, the instructions say you can't REMOVE the slicer blade (remove the wingnut) & you can simply peel the apples (not peel/core/slice). Alot of people were disappointed that this thing peeled, cored & sliced their apples... apparently they didn't open the instruction booklet. LOL. See photos.

The media could not be loaded.  Love this product! The suction held up very well as you can see. I was doing it one handed and using my phone to record video with my other hand. Does not work well on soft apples. Make sure apples are fresh and firm for best results.

Absolutely happy with this purchase! The amount of time it saves is amazing! Easy to use and clean. Doesn’t take up much room either. Highly recommend. Decent price and not cheaply made.

Why did we wait so long to get one of these? Huge time saver, goes through a half bushel of apples like a hot knife through butter. If you're on the fence about this product-we are very happy with how much time this saves us. I suspect you will be too.

We used it for two years in a row and it still works perfectly

Loved how it holds firmly to counter, spins out a peeled, cored and sliced apple smoothly in seconds. Helped to get my apple crisp put together in very little time - inspiring me to cook more!(hint: be sure to take the stem off first and line up the centre of the apple. Twisted mis-shapen apples don't work as well.)Easy to clean but do it right away so nothing dries into the crevices, a small soft brush would work well if some of the apple gets stuck into the edges

Great suction! It became part of the counter! The very soft apples do not work well, but it’s no fault of the excellent peeler! Thanks it’s a great produce!

It's going to last a long time, because it will never be used! Terrible job at peeling apples, hold down suction cup keeps releasing, doesn't core apples without slicing them too. Tried to return item, and found out I was responsible for shipping. Not worth sending it back!!

The instructions are what I called "you know what to do",...which actually was a bit incorrect. I was going to send it back and when looking into another brand,...I realized what I was doing wrong. Now I'm using it and loving it and it works great. I suggest a step by step detailed instruction would have helped.

Great quality and easy to use. Made 32 apple pies from the apples on our tree. Couldn't have done it without this machine.
