Product Description
Apple Parer Slices & Cores In 1 Operation with Pivoting, Tension Controlled Arm which holds Paring Blade. Automatically Adjusts To Contour Of Apple, the Blade Can Be Moved In Or Out To Desired Peel Thickness. Clamps To Edge Of Work Surface.
Amazon.com Review
This odd-looking contraption peels, cores, and slices a basket of apples for a tarte, a crisp, or fritters in less time and with less effort than can be done by hand. The old-fashioned apple peeler has a suction cup bottom to keep it steady on a work surface and a clamp to secure it to the edge of a counter or cutting board. To use, skewer an apple on the end of the apple peeler's three-pronged fork with the tines positioned around the core of the apple. Next, swing the arm that holds the peeling blade toward the apple so it's just grazing the skin. Start turning the apple corer's hand crank and the machine simultaneously removes the apple's skin and core while cutting it into narrow slices that are perfect for pie and desserts or dehydrating. A release button helps you to easily remove your finished apple from the fork. This apple peeler/corer is made of sturdy aluminum and weighs four pounds. Progressive provides an extra blade with the tool and covers it under a five-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

fun & easy to use January 7, 2009
Jann Cure (Georgetown, KY USA)
I use this to peel/slice/core apples with my grand daughter. She eats apples EVERY day now, after school. It is a great activity to share with kids, and is also a handy gadget if you make a lot of pies/cobblers/crisps/gratains.
My only complaint is that I wish it had the suction base.
ALSO, watch out that the picture of what you are ordering matches what you get. I ordered 1 with a certain type of blade assembly, but got 1 with a different type. I had to return the original item, and order from a different source.
 Apple Peeler & Corer January 2, 2009

Easy purchase and fast delivery. A friend showed us how easy the apple peeler worked. Although we did purchase at end of apple season.
Very Cool!!! December 13, 2008
JoEllen Hock (Waukesha, WI United States)
This is just about the niftiest contraption I've ever used; and so easy to do so. My brother just loves my apple pies, but I spent more time peeling and coreing apples than it took the pie to bake. Now, I can peel, core and slice five or six apples in about five minutes. I used it for the first time today and it works like a charm. What's really nice is all the apple slices conform. Be sure to clean it well right away because it is not dishwasher friendly. I can't wait to bake another apple pie!
 Apple Peelers November 26, 2008
Larry Mulrine (Scranton)
I've been using these type of peelers for over 20 years. While the seller did a great job in quickly sending them out, the peeler itself seemed inferior to previous peelers. Specifically, the groove in the main spindle appears to not have been cut as deeply as in the past, resulting in the apple not getting fed through the cutters once some resistance is met. This results in a damaged apple, not a peeled and cored one.
I currently own about 16 of these peelers, but unless the quality returns, I won't be buying anymore.
Again, the seller did a great job. It's the manufacturer that seems to be the problem.
Mixed up. November 23, 2008
S. Korber (Bern, KS)
I tried to order 2 of what was pictured, but when I received them, 2 times, they were NOT like the picture showed! I wanted the blade like in the picture, not the newer one with a "safer" blade. I have a "safer" blade peeler of a dif't brand and it doesn't work. I ended up going to ebay and bought a "Vintage" Progressive peeler. When you have a few bushels of apples to peel you want one that works! Amazon was gracious in the returns and giving me a refund (even though they didn't probably understand my reasoning?!!)The mix up won't keep me from shopping Amazon again. I just learned I was looking for a hard item to find!
