This item Starfrit Rotato Express 2.0 + 6 Replacement Blades | Updated Model - Electric Peeler (Black)

Peeling potatoes, fruits and vegetables is an arduous task that nobody looks forward to. I purchased this device years ago and was absolutely amazed that it worked so well - to the extent that I ordered another and gifted it to a relative in another country. The device is simple - stick your fruit/vegetable into the pointy holder at the bottom, lower the upper holder, place the cutter on top and press the red button. Your food will be peeled in a uniform fashion and more often than not in a continuous string of peel making cleanup so much simpler than before (anyone remember cleaning starchy potato peels out of the sink? I do!). In fact, I typically place my peeler on the counter and guide the peel into a trash can on the floor so that as the peel is fed out gravity pushes it straight into the trash. A year or two after purchasing we got an expensive mixer and bought the peeler attachment. We don't have a large home so it made no sense to keep both. Assuming that the new (and much more expensive) peeler attachment would do a solid job we gifted our old peeler to a family member. Boy, was that a mistake. Not only was the mixer's peeler attachment a pain to set up, but it was far inferior to this wonderful little device. The peeler attachment would miss giant chunks of peel, required fruits/vegetables to be certain dimension to peel (the spring was not strong enough to peel thinner food) and was so inconsistent that we ended up buying this peeler for the THIRD time. This is a really handy device. If you don't enjoy peeling food (who does?) or have dexterity issues or any issues that make using a manual peeler difficult then don't think twice - this is the gadget for you! Highly recommend!

ease of use, work perfect, speed really good

Very easy to use. Peel.s apples perfectly.

My father had a battery operated one many years ago but, this electric one is much better. So far loving it and don't miss peeling potatoes. You still have to peel both ends of your potatoes (tip), where the blade cant reach but, much faster and much easier and faster to make french fries, mashed potatoes, etc

This product is incredible! As expected, it works extremely well for potatoes. I also just used it to make noodles out of yellow garden squash.

This item was a gift to a friend. She had one previously and it just was worn out. Now with the updated model, she can enjoy peeling potatoes. She does have arthritis in pher hands and what a great relief this is for her.

I don’t know how I could live without this!! Seriously out of all my gadgets -this is #1.I’m 71 years old. I probably have every kitchen item known to man. This item even ranks above a blender!It’s easy to use. You can either plug it into your outlet -or you can use it battery operated! Someone was thinking on this!Put ANY sized potato or anything on it. It’s fully adjustable. You can place the arm with the blade anywhere on the item your trying to peel. Even odd shaped potatoes work!I no longer shave my knuckles- or cut my nails off trying to use a regular handheld peeler.And it’s fast!Yesterday I made mashed potatoes. I peeled and then cut 5 lbs of potatoes in under 4 minutes!!!I set it right next to the sink so the peels slide into the sink. Making for easy cleanup. The thing I like too is that it’s easy cleanup because the peels are almost in one continuous piece. Not tons of peels all over.I have been using it for about a year. I bought it originally for peeling apples for canning apple pie filling. I wanted to cut the slices on my own but wanted the outside peel off. It worked like a dream.I use it with the batteries. It has had use at least once a week for a year and I’m still on the same set of batteries!!I don’t know how I lived without this!It’s that great.I figure with summer coming I can do spiral zucchini. Can’t wait to try it out on that!

Not a lot of good to say about this peeler. First, it arrived later than expected. It was sent out late actually; courier got it here fast. Was expecting to have it while on 4 day weekend to do up the apples but arrived just in time to go back to work- it was during holiday rush, so have to give leniency there. Bought it to use on an abundance of apples my husband got from a store. Most of the apples were getting on the soft side, not great to sell, but still good for sauce, cake, etc. The first apple should been a sign as it missed a streak of skin in last quarter, but not a lot, though it consistently missed in that same area of each subsequent apple. I just needed to finish the peeling with my knife, no big deal. Did up a large pot worth of apples and made 4 pints of sauce the first time using it. Second time using it, it started to skip a little more, so replaced blade. Worked okay, as good as first time, and made smaller batch of sauce. Tried it next day on sweet potatoes and does not work well at all on them... Got through one but they're Too hard. Dulled the blade apparently because then went to show my parents how it worked on those soft apples and it was skipping again, bad! Did a couple of apples okay, but had skip lines of skin throughout. Then tried with a softer one to see if it would work better, but the arm with the spike didn't hold soft apple down well, blade was skipping and bottom spikes chewed up bottom of apple - too soft. It was as though the components that make the arm slide down, wasn't letting it slide smoothly. I have flushed the blades in warm, soapy water and rinsed, wiped down the unit with damp, sponge like instructions read after each use. Even used slightly soapy sponge and wiped again with just water and then dried, but acted like it needs oiling or greasing to slide well though instructions don't state that it needs to be.Conclusion: apparently, whatever you peel has to be perfect hardness: not too hard and not too soft to make components work the way they're intended. And seems as though the blades should last longer than for a few pints of applesauce- that is my biggest complaint. Still have a lot of apples to do up, so will continue to fuss with it. I feel I should have gone with a manual peeler with corer: thought this would save more time, but it really doesn't.
