What a clever design for peeling citrus fruit. Works as well as you could imagine.

Works incredibly well on lemons and other citrus. If you take a nice sharp knife and slice the top and bottom off of the fruit without getting into the juicy parts then use this tool it pulls the peel off in two sections leaving the white stuff where a tremendous amount of nutrient's are, and are typically lost during peeling. This tool makes eating oranges clean and easy compared to the dripping mess they can be without it.

These make peeling oranges as easy as opening an envelope. We first got one of these from a citrus farm long ago and lost it - they're like a pencil and easily misplaced. I enjoy oranges much more using one of these to peel them. No more zest under your finger nails from peeling, this slices and separates the peel easily. You can have perfect unbroken orange wedges in no time. Terrific little peeler.

The best little tool for peeling those thin skinned oranges that defy all other efforts short of a big knife. This is much safer, even school aged children could use it because it is not sharp and is entirely made of plastic. It is patterned after the famous Tupperware Citrus Peeler (discontinued?) that had been around forever. These make great gifts! When friends or family see you using one, they immediately ask, "Where did you get that? I like it!". This is when you reach in the drawer and hand them their very own to take home. I ordered six of them, and I am already down to four.

I had originally purchased one of these from an at home vendor and it was lost or thrown away. I was excited to find them here in multiples. This tool makes peeling any type of citrus a breeze. It is easy to use and keeps me from getting peel and rind under my fingernails.

I've been meaning to buy one of these since my roommates went missing 2 years ago! I was so happy to find a few on here since I couldn't find it in stores! My roommate was so happy to get it from me as a gift and I was so happy to have one for myself as well! Great buy works perfectly. Just be careful the points can cut skin.

Super helpful to score oranges to make it easier to peel. I am a teacher and we serve breakfast in the classroom. I dread the days we get a whole orange and first grade students have to peel it on their own. I purchased these to help score the skin for the kids. The peelers are easy to use and easy to clean!

I used to use the other style of orange peeler for decades. the kind that you are supposed to use for zesting and other stuff. these are so much better. just slip it onto a finger or thumb (the discussion about how to use them is very entertaining) the first set I got had 1 that was distorted and not useable. but they are so great I didn't take any stars off for it. also the price is so low I didn't care. am reordering 2 more sets, so I can have them on hand ... and besides, the kids take them home when they come and visit. these are a wonderful little add on to tuck in a fruit gift. or to have tucked away in the car for trips.

My husband will not peel an orange without one of these!! These are great and really help make orange peeling easier. The sharp spike at the end pierces the flesh of the orange and scores the peel making it easier to peel off. Your finger goes into the hole for easier maneuvering.

Pros...
Strong plastic
Helps peel orange easier

Cons...
None!

I ordered the 4 Round Orange (Citrus Fruit) Peelers not really knowing what to expect. And I’ve been laughing at myself ever since.
First, I received 4 orange peelers. When I first opened the package, I thought there had to be some kind of mistake. These things are tiny. But then I realized that my visualization of the product and the actual product are worlds apart.
Second, this is a great little tool. Once I realized that this tiny little tool would save me from that yulky feel when first starting an orange peel, I was sold. I absolutely hate that first dig in to get an orange peeling. Also, I have thin weak nails which doesn’t help.
So, does this tool do what it says it does? Absolutely. Is it what I had pictured in size? Nope. But I’m sold.

I can honestly say that, when my girlfriend first showed me this item I laughed. I laughed a lot. I figured, who in the world could possibly need an item to make peeling an orange easier? Even for a chronic nail-biter like myself, would a knife not work?

If you like to eat an orange on occasion, just buy these. I don't think they could possibly cost less and they actually do the job they were designed for.

The cutting implement is the perfect depth, it cuts through the peel incredibly easily and leaves the fruit completely untouched. As a bonus, I've started slicing the peel North to South, taking one half of the peel off and using it as a bowl to collect the scraps.

This is probably more information than is necessary for such a small item, but I believe that something designed to do one job should do that one job perfectly. Unlike the vast majority however, this one actually lives up to that expectation.

The price was unbelievably inexpensive. It arrived approximately one month after ordering. When it did arrive one peeler was broken. OMG! A little bubble wrap might have helped to keep them safe. I'm not a quitter though. Still embracing my positive persona. I washed the peeler and handled the peeler as if it were the jewel from the Titanic. I steadied myself with plump orange in hand, ready to peel the luscious fruit of my hard earned labor and what happened next...was just short of miraculous. As a single tear streamed down my cheek... I effortlessly peeled until the juices were welcomed with awe and satisfaction. Channeled my inner Rafiki, holding my wee Simba orange above my head as I chanted, hakuna matata & danced in the street. Yes, orange peeler you've found your home.

These things worked great on peeling oranges. I was expecting much for the price, but they work as well as some higher priced peelers (Pampered Chef) I've used in the past.

For the picky male, who has no fingernails and prefers not to get his fingers sticky when pealing an orange, these peelers work! It will cut through the skin about the perfect depth every time. Going once around the orange allows you to simply peel back the skin (so it isn't 100% peeling free) and rip it off. For the purpose of peeling an orange before making a smoothie with it, you will not be disappointed.So far I am still on my first one and have been able to use it at least 20 times (no signs of wear yet). Make sure that you rinse it briefly after usage so that it doesn't start having a sticky layer like mine did, which took a couple minutes to scrape off.

I love it! I wish I had known about these sooner! This peeler makes peeling an orange as easy as peeling a banana! No more orange peel under my fingernails or breaking my nails with this new peeler! I'm eating oranges much more often now because it's so quick and clean to peel with these! It works great for peeling grapefruit too! The only time I have any problem with it is if I have an orange with a very thick peel.There's lots of different ways to peel with it. You can experiment with different ways. The easiest for me is to run the peeler from top to bottom down four sides of the orange, then pull down the peel in quarters.

Who would have thought a little plastic thing the size of a ring could peel and orange so quickly? I love this thing!

These work really great, are small and store easily, and wash really easily. I have always hated peeling oranges and would usually not eat them. With these I can peel large and small oranges without a lot of fuss.

use all the time

used a few times works great!

Not quite as sturdy as I'd remembered when from 30 years ago, but still a great way for a 5-year-old to peel her own oranges.

This peeler is much like the old Tupperware orange peeler. It has 2 ends. One end splits the peel, the other end separates the peel from the inner fruit. Having used this one and the Tupperware, this one does a better job of separating the peal from the fruit. But the Tupperware peeler does a better job of splitting the skin.

This peeler makes eating citrus so much easier. Cutting through the peel and pulling it off is a cinch. I only wish the curved end were a little sharper. The serrated side isn't long enough and it should be serrated on both sides. I like using it to section grapefruit as well as getting under an orange peel to easily cut it away from the orange. Rather than drinking a lot of juice and getting too many carbs, I'm now eating more citrus and loving it.

pamperd chef use to carry thease I started out with 6 of thease and through the years I lost most of them by throwing them out so I looked and looked and on the internet and now I got them

These are a bit smaller than I expected and they don't cut into a larger orange with ease, but it still works. I've showed them to my co-workers and they love the idea.

Took a little while to get but I love them... They def do what they are suppose to and everyone at work asks where they can get one.

These peelers work really well at peeling oranges. Had these in the past but over time they get lost or break and need replaced.

Looks are deceiving as they look like a little plastic ring but these work really well. We work in public safety and can't have knives or anything in our bags but we can throw these in our lunch bag and go. I love them and would recommend anyone getting them.

I absolutely love these! I bought them because I hate getting orange peel all up in my nails when peeling an orange, This peeler eliminates that issue completely! I have had so many people ask me about it when I am at work eating my lunch. The only gripe I have with it is that I have small hands so it fits my finger well. However I know several people who have bigger hands and fingers than I, and I feel like it wont fit there hands well.

works well

Cutting blade is not long enough to cut completely through thick skinned oranges/grapefruit.

Great item!

They do what they are supposed to do. A little awkward the first time. You just need to figure out the best way for you to hold it. You can hold it a couple ways. Very portable to take along or send in a lunch so you can peel a fresh orange or grapefruit.

works as described..keeps that darn peel off hands and out of my nails. very inexpensive. very small though so easy to lose. I think they thought of that cause they send two in a package

We eat alot of oranges and citrus. This is a safe alternative for kids. We love it!

This works well, but it's not the messiah of all orange peelers. IMO, the pick does not work as well as the flat pick on another peeler I own that came in purple.

Doesn't work as well as the Tupperware peeler. The scoring end works well, but the othe end...not so much.

cheap plastic rings. you get what you pay for

I like the peelers of a different company better. Theirs are a little larger and easier to use.

They work well. A little flimsier than others of exact same shape--thinner plastic. For the money, very worth it compared to others that I saw.

These get the job done but they are very cheaply made. I couldn't find the brand I had previously purchased so I got these. They work well enough but I would not repurchase them.

I didn't realize this was an overseas company and it took forever to actually receive these .That being said they do work decent . They are sturdy enough but it really depends on the fruit you have and how thick the rind is . If it's too thick they get stuck. Eh I could take it or leave it . Great concept poor execution.

Works

Advertised as set of 2. Expected 2 to be same. 1 was as pictured, other was not a complete ring for finger but rather about 1/3 ring on each side with open center - very awkward & unable to use. Initially, I thought 1 was broken until better inspection. Took nearly 6 weeks to arrive from China.

I don't know who's finger is supposed to fit in that circle, but mine isn't even close! That being said, hold it differently and it works very well.

its ok but not as good as it seemed

They work, Quite a bit smaller than I thought they would be. Also VERY cheaply made, You can probably find them at the flea market or dollar store for way, way less money.

thought it would be a lot better than it was. Used it a few times and then it got tossed into the junk drawer never to be seen again lol.

Could not get the product to work right. Too complicated.

these are not the original pampered chef ones. They don't even say tupperware. I have the pampered chef one and that one cuts the peel better than these. However, these are good enough and way better than using just your fingers. I keep one at home and another at work.

These orange peelers have a very tiny tooth; it doesn't dig into the orange far enough to be useful. My old one has a tooth that is twice as deep, and it worked much better.

This product sort of does what it says it will. It still makes peeling an orange messy, which was what I had hoped to avoid.

Doesn't cut deep enough.

I purchased these as I had used these in the past and they were good for peeling oranges. Although these look exactly like what I had before, they do not pierce the skin of the orange deeply enough to be able to take the skin off. Ended up having to use a knife. I bought three different kinds of peelers at Amazon, but none performed as well as ones made in years past due to the shallow cutting point not making it through the orange skins.

A different style was sent, not sure I like the new style, old one in picture works better, but they will do for now. Prefer to get what is pictured in a post.

Blade is short and barely cuts through more than a mandarine orange. Got them for the child in hope it would assist him with making his own snacks, but it barely slices the skin on anything larger than a 2in or so orange.

Poor quality product!

Very thin and not a really good quality. Very slow delivery because it shipped from an Asian country.

clever

Just a gimmick

cuts the peel okay but the plastic is not tough enough to raise the peel after it is scored.

These peelers do not work. It kept slipping off of the orange/tangelo. I stopped using them right away as it was so annoying. I then ordered Pampered Chef.

Bad, bad, bad. Need I say more? A minus 1 star for me. Difficult, messy, and plain does not work.

This is a smaller, cheap imitation of two better ones that I got at a hardware store. These were mailed from China. If you have a thin skin orange, the cutter will work. But, if it's a thick skin the cutter isn't long/deep enough to make it easy to peel off the orange rind. You'll have to use a knife and still won't be happy. Also, the front portion tends to dig into the orange skin and slows you down.

I found it awkward to use

The cutter is not deep enough to cut through an orange.

First off, I ordered the 6-pack and got a single. I didn't pursue getting the rest, since the little plastic blade broke almost immediately. I'm a third grade teacher, so I thought this would be perfect for my classroom. It didn't last 1/2 hour. It worked great before it broke, though.

I waited two months for delivery of this product. I was quite disappointed when they came. I already have one of these gizmos and couldn't help but compare them when they arrived. These things were flimsy, cheaply-made and broke upon first use. What a waste of time and money!

Good idea. Problem - simply does not work. I'm glad I didn't pay too much.It scores the peel ,but does not go deep enough to actually peel it, caca.

Not necessary.

NOT AS PICTURED

The only reason I am giving this one star is because it looks much bigger in the picture and were smaller than expected.

It doesn't do the job

Very flimsy. Bed, Bath and Beyond's brand was much stronger and worked like a charm.
