Well designed for the task at hand. Solidly build, the large handle provides a comfortable grip & keep your fingers well away from the slicing. Tip: for apples that don't sit straight, hold the fruit upright & start the cut square to the core. Then give it a solid shove thru the apple.

Functionally it works, but only for small to medium sized apples. Not sure if the apples I'm buying are abnormally large, but this slicer wouldn't work on half of them. Otherwise, a good buy for those who don't like to cut apples!

Allow me to explain my apparently absurd title... Some people have complained that it arrived cracked or dull, or that it cracked or broke within an unreasonable time. Apparently they did not read the card that the corer came attached to. On it OXO states: "Satisfaction Guarantee: If for any reason your are not satisfied with this product, return it for repair, replacement, or refund." To me this means if it has anything wrong with it or you don't like it for any reason, you can return it for a repair, replacement, or refund tomorrow or 3 years from now. There is no time limit in the statement; there is no asterisk with fine print following. So, unless OXO is lying, it is guaranteed virtually forever.Next my own experience. I received mine from Amazon a week ago (no cracks in the plastic, the blades are sharp) and have been using it since then, just preparing a single apple at a time for my own pleasure. I really like how quickly and easily I can get an apple ready to eat! I wish I had gotten one of these years ago so I would have eaten more apples and fewer less healthful snacks. (Personal note: my teeth aren't very good for biting so if an apple isn't sliced I'm much less likely to want to eat it.)I don't have a cutting board so I have been cutting right on my small ceramic serving plate. I have found it cuts smoothly and easily if I rock it a little as I push it down to keep in control and not smash the plate. (In this case it is probably a good thing the frame is plastic and not metal.)I am grateful to the reviewer who suggested to slice off the bottom 1/8" of the apple before using the corer so that the skin doesn't hold it all together and make it hard to separate the slices. That little effort makes a huge difference; the slices will just fall right out (by themselves or with a gentle poke) when you finish the downstroke. All you have to do is wiggle the core loose (note update below) and rinse off the corer and you are ready to eat.This is the first of these that I've ever used so I can't compare with others, although I did shop around on Amazon and saw that OXO makes an all metal version for a couple of dollars more for those who don't think plastic will last. Also I saw another manufacturer who claimed their product was "large" so that might be a better choice for those who need to slice larger apples (although this one seems to have plenty of room left over with the apples I've sliced so far).It's an unqualified winner for me, so it gets my full five stars.UPDATE 8/24/13: One more tip - after making the cut, you can break off the apple core close to the corer and push the little core stub DOWN through the hole thus avoiding the risk of cutting your fingers on the sharp side of the blades.

This is the second OXO apple slicer I’ve purchased, the first was for my mom and she’s had that one for years now. A well loved kitchen tool that makes cutting up apples for a quick snack a breeze. Pretty easy to clean by hand, and washes up well in the top rack of the dishwasher. Although a bit more in price than others, it’s well worth it given how long the first has held up compared to the cheaper ones my mother had before. Only con is finding a good place to stash it when not in use.

This device works very well. The only problem is that you have to separate the slices because it doesn't cut the skin at the bottom of the apple

Cuts perfectly with very little pressure. Love it!
