EXTREMELY pleased with this apple peeler, corer, slicer!!

I am EXTREMELY pleased with this apple peeler! I almost didn't buy it, because I thought it would be huge and heavy. But it was much smaller than I thought it would be, about half as large as I expected and very lightweight, which is a plus in my small kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised that the suction cup worked great on my kitchen countertop, even though it is a slightly textured laminate countertop and suction cup appliances never stick to it, the Johnny Apple Peeler sticks very tightly with no movement at all! We have an old heirloom Baldwin apple tree in our yard, and this year we had a bumper crop of really beautiful apples, so I decided to dehydrate as many as possible and also make baked apples and applesauce, but peeling and coring and slicing all those apples was a huge pain, so I thought I would try this apple peeler. It works GREAT -- it literally takes three seconds to peel, slice, and core each apple. Since our apples are from an old tree and not store bought, they are all different shapes and sizes, but the Johnny Apple Peeler handles them all just fine. And although there were a few less expensive alternatives available on Amazon, the reviews for this one were really good so I decided to spend a few dollars more and purchase this one -- but the price was still great for such a useful appliance.

Why doesn't everyone have one of these???

I only know about this gadget because my grandma got a much older version of one at an estate sale and gave it to me, and I recently upgraded to this new one. After I used it once, I didn't know why anyone would do it any other way. If you're an apples or potatoe eater, BUY THIS PRODUCT. The suction cup works PERFECTLY and holds it right in place with no movement at all. Even better: I have little kitchen storage space, and the suction cup allows me to store it ON THE BOTTOM OF MY CABINET! (or any other flat surface!) And the peeling/coring/slicing doesn't have to be all done together. Depending on your apple needs, you can just peel, or just core and slice, or do nothing to it (if you just want to watch the apple spin. Dance, apple, dance!) Cleanup is incredibly easy. I eat all my apples now after sending them through this thing, because it minimizes waste by cutting close to the core! Also, the slices are thin enough, that I feel like I'm getting a lot more food, and it's a longer lasting snack. (My snack used to be ONE apple, but now it's TWENTY apple slices! Whoa! And you can use the peeler to peel of thin strings of potatoes for hash browns. Neat, huh? Overall, the 10 seconds it takes to put an apple on here and send it through is WAY more convenient than the time it takes to do it all by hand, and less wasteful. Seriously, get this product, it's amazing.

Works fantastic, a few quirks but very sturdy and reliable

Pros: Peels apples quickly Adjusts easily Firmly attaches to my granite countertop Relatively easy to clean Can even peel potatoes (see note below) Cons: Doesn't handle odd-shaped or mushy apples too well So, if you want to peel apples for apple pie, this is excellent if you want to peel apples for a snack, go right ahead.. although the setup and cleanup doesn't seem worth it to me for just one apple... however, if you have like 3+ kids/people eating an apple each, absolutely worth it. I even peeled potatoes for this for a large potluck mashed potato dish. Worked on 80% of the potatoes, the really long ones were too long vs wide and the distance from the fork that holds it in place to the end of the potato was too much.. the force of the peeler would push it off the peeler as soon as you rotated. Now, some hand-holding at the start lets you expand your range of peel-able potatoes, but some were just too oblong to do it. Also, if you have bruised or mushy apples.. they may not hold on the fork, and fall off the peeler. Bruised spots catch the peeler, because the spring pushes hard into the soft mushy spot and then gets stuck when it hits hard, regular apple as you rotate past the spot, or pushes the apple right off the fork (especially if the center is also mushy). Certain types of apples (Cortlands and McIntosh for example) are right at the lower limit of softness this peeler can handle. Overall, it's a great purchase at a cheap pricepoint. I'll be happy to keep using it for years to come to bake pies.

The funnest little kitchen gadget in my kitchen!

Sending out a big thank you to my precious daughter who bought me this for Mother's Day. I just made curly fries that are better than Arby's! And I used the cores from the potatoes to make little round potatoes. Kids will love these fries, I know my kids did! This really works and fastens very snug to the countertop, it does not budge! Very sturdy and works like a charm!

Great product...this is the one to get!

This is the first year my little orchard has produced large quantities of apples, so I hauled out a vintage mechanical peeler that had been sitting in the attic for 25 years. I spent an hour trying to fine tune it and not have it destroy every apple I tried. I thought I was stuck with hand peeling, but decided to check and see if there was anything available that wasn't more trouble than it was worth. After reading the reviews for various peelers here, and watching a bunch of YouTube videos, I decided to give this one a try. It worked perfectly right out of the box, and required only about 30 seconds to screw on the handle and the tines. Here is what I liked best: -Solid construction, nicely machined, and well-finished -Suction base sticks fiercely to my granite counter and doesn't come loose; if you have a smooth, non-porous surface to mount it on, this is so much better than the ones that clamp to the underside of the counter with a screw (and invariably wobble) -Very clearly written instruction book (not some bad translation into English from another language) -Reasonable price (I know there is another one on this site that looks about the same, and costs a few bucks less, but I thought this one had better overall reviews) -Works with a wide variety of apple sizes, even ones that are pretty large; also adapts well to lopsided apples without messing up -The hoop that does the coring does a really good job of keeping the apple centered, despite the shape of the apple. You just need to do your best to align the apple when mounting it on the tines, but the peeler is pretty forgiving even if the apple has a fair amount of wobble -Once it starts cutting it doesn't miss any part of the peel on the bulk of the apple; it leaves only about 1/8" at the top and bottom where the apple is "flat"...and I just eat that -The spiral cut slices are a great thickness for dehydrating, for freezing, and for making pies I was concerned that the loop-shaped blade would "waste" more apple flesh than a straight blade, but the waste is trivial. In fact, in my experience with a straight-bladed model, the gouging on all the apples that weren't perfectly shaped did lead to a lot of waste. For my first batch, I processed about 50-60 apples of 5 different species, which ranged widely in size, symmetry, and firmness. The only one I had trouble with was one that wasn't a firm apple to start with and had been sitting out for a couple of weeks; it was so soft that the tines started to turn freely in the core before the whole apple was finished being peeled. If I would have processed it when it was fresh this wouldn't have been a problem. I set mine up on the edge of the granite counter right next to the sink, and all the waste went right in: no more peels and apple juice making my floor sticky. This is one of those kitchen gadgets that works well consistently, as opposed to those that work well 90% of the time, but are annoying and time consuming the other 10% of the time. In fact, this is actually fun to use and fast...and that's important when you are looking at dealing with bushels of apples.

It may be more expensive but you get what you pay for!

I'm not the greatest communicator and this is my first commendation so hope this comes out OK and you're able to understand what I'm trying to say. I just received my Johnny Apple Peelertoday and am so excited. I did my homework on Amazon, looked at the comments They were many and varied. One person said that he tried to return his machine to the maker who told him that it was a knockoff made in China, instead of Taiwan (that was my first checkpoint.) I also saw a post where they said they used magnets to find out that their cast-iron peeler was not cast-iron, that it was light and flimsy. Mine attracts magnets, is neither light nor flimsy and if it comes apart I'll let you know in the future, but I don't think it will. I heard complaints about their machines peeling the apple too deeply, not sticking to the counter and had no instructions. After having read the instructions in the JAP I found out that my very, very sharp blade can be adjusted to a deep or fine cut. I also noticed that several people asked if they could peel potatoes and the answer was either no or I don't know. Well, you can not only peel potatoes with this but you can make shoestring potatoes. Now that's amazing! I guess the main reason I purchased this VICTORIO is when after hearing all these complaints I saw that, although this was around 25% more expensive than most of the peelers, there was a five-year guarantee and that did it for me! I just peeled six apples to make applesauce in my Instant Pot and it was slicker than grease on a door knob! I hope this comment helps. Good luck with your purchase!

as well as sweet potatoes and pears

We peel about 3 apples per day for our twins' applesauce, as well as sweet potatoes and pears. This thing is a massive time saver for us. It does not work well on soft fruits (like a ripe pear), but anything that is firm and apple-sized works great! A few cons (but not worth knocking off a star for). The slicer and corer is the same piece, so if you want to slice potatoes, it unnecessarily cores it. The slicer/corer can shift, even when tightened all the way. If it's out of alignment or loose, it can damage the machine. If anything feels like it's hanging up, don't crank harder. Something is probably not set up right. It doesn't fit very large apples/potatoes. I have had to cut the tops/bottoms off a few to get them to fit. It doesn't work on skinny vegetables, like carrots. The sweet spot here is apples. If you want to make apple pies, applesauce, etc. on a regular basis, this is your machine! I can crank through 6 apples in under 2 minutes, no chance of cutting myself, and easy cleanup. I just rinse it and shake off the excess water. After 2 months of regular use there is no sign of rust.

Higher than Five Stars!!!

If I could give this product a 10/5 I would! Each Fall I like to make applesauce in the crock pot. It's one of my favorite Fall flavors, and makes my house smell amazing! In years past I have simply peeled, cored and diced apples by hand, which usually took several hours and created quite a mess. This year I decided to purchase a peeler, but didn't want to spend a lot of money since I only make applesauce in the Fall. This product was highly reviewed and was inexpensive, so I gave it a try - it did not disappoint! The peeler took less than five minutes to assemble - screw on the fork and handle, and adjust the parts using the easy-to-follow instructions. Simply pop an apple on the fork and turn the handle. In a few seconds the apple was simultaneously peeled, cored, and sliced. I was able to fully prep about five dozen apples (some irregularly shaped) in about 45 minutes! I really liked the fact that the apples were sliced as it allowed for me to fit more into the crock pot. Cleanup was very easy (I decided to attach the peeler to a cookie sheet to catch the drippings and any little pieces, which worked really well), and it was easy to put away for the next use. Overall - solid construction, easy to assemble and adjust, inexpensive, super easy to use!

This is my new best friend during apple season

We live on a 70-acre farm. When we bought it, in early 2013, I drove by a local nursery that was clearing out fruit tree stock and I bought far too many apple trees for my new fruit orchard. This year, they are in full production and every time my husband comes in the house, he brings me another five-gallon pail. I considered just locking the doors but then saw this Johnny Apple Peeler. It is a relationship-saver, especially when (deep down inside) I know that I was the one that bought and planted the trees. It arrived at noon today. Since then, I've peeled and cored 15 gallons of apples. It took just over an hour. One batch is in the slow cooker for applesauce, another batch will be frozen for apple pies this winter, and the third is en route to the dehydrator. A task that would have taken me most of the day took just over an hour. I'm very happy with this purchase. I still have another 25 gallons of apples to process today but with the help of this peeler, it will be a snap.
