Side by Side Comparison of: OXO

Superb peeler. Was concerned because my best peeler cost me over a 100 bucks years ago.. This one works better and is on spot. Shaves a cucumber with professionalism and a potatoes like you do it for a living. I love this peeler.

Ummm why have I been battling my vegetables with an old KitchenAid peeler for so long when I could have been smoothly and easily peeling them with this?! This was a HUGE upgrade and makes peeling not a dreaded and avoided chore anymore. Highly recommend.

This is the best peeler i have ever used. Well.. its like the 2nd one i've ever owned so .. i guess that's not saying much. But hey... why would i lie to you. whatever you do, DO NOT try to use it to shave if you run out of mach III razors because they are so expensive. Youve been warned

OXO has become my go to company for kitchen stuff. This peeler is no exception. My favorite aspect is the firm grip. My current one is skatey-eight years old and slips in my hand. I really like this one.

Very handy, sharp and lightweight. I would buy from this company again and recommend to my friends..

Quality matters and OXO does it right. For months, I got by with a cheap dollar store peeler thinking, "I'm not going to spend a lot on a veggie peeler - c'mon, how often would I use it?"More than expected, apparently. Every time I had to reach in the drawer for that dull, wimpy POS I would sigh. Using it made me angry.Then I decided not to be angry anymore and invested in this little guy. Totally worth it. Now I can peel carrots and sweet potatoes and just about anything else in a matter of seconds. It's sharp and sturdy and my only problem is that it's super easy to peel way past the layer of skin.Vegetables now fear me.

This certainly works really well. Just be careful, the blades are very sharp. Keep the plastic protector to put over the blades when it is not used. It is easy to throw away originally because you think it is part of the packaging.

Great ergonomics. Fits the hand well and is easy to hold. Good sharp cutting blade. Will buy again when this one gets dull.

This product gets a lot of use, I expect it to wear out, but they last 3 to 5 years depending on usage and abuseage. No noticeable loss of quality after several purchases over the years. Dependable, comfortable for the hands.

Replaced a previous OXO peeler which became dull after many years of use

A good little peeler, cuts off thin slices of the skin of potatoes, cucumbers and other veggies and fruits without a problem. Easy to grip and comes clean in the dishwasher.

I've been using this Oxo set for at least six years now, and I've even replaced it once, after my partner tried using the parer as a crow bar. [Not recommended!!] The peeler is fine, better than the old ratty one I'd had for years, and never enjoyed using. Now I admit I don't use it all that much, so perhaps a swivel-peeler expert would find it less satisfactory, I don't know. For my needs, it's more than adequate.I do like the knife. The blade is very good; not the best, but certainly not the worst one I've ever had, it's easy to keep it sharpened, and the size is about right for a number of tasks. The handle is what I really love! I don't have arthritis or anything, but a lengthy veggie prep session will make my hand cramp with most knives. This one's comfortable to use for an hour or more, long enough for the biggest salad or stir-fry marathon.I've also bought sets for gifts, and my friends seem to like these tools, too. In fact, I recently replaced a set for one who lost hers during a move. Give it a try, especially if gripping a knife for long periods is starting to bother you.

Didn't want one with that extra thingy on it

I bought it because of so much good reviews on this product. But this product does not impress me as much as I expect, probably the good review set me a really high expectations. This product is a little bit pricy than other similar products.

I work at a restaurant. We peel about 800lbs of potatoes in a week. The grip is nice and the blade feels sharp however I feel it takes twice as long to peel a potato than the peeler I bought for $.99 at my local grocery store. It just takes off very small thin strips off. Nobody I work with uses this peeler they always go for the cheap one. The only thing anyone who peels that much potatoes wants is to get them done as fast as possible. It is my goto for carrots though.

It is a good product, but not comfortable to use.

I use the knife all the time. It really helps my arthritic hands. I literally cannot hold onto the thinner handles of the other knives. So, why do the handles suddenly get weird and the finger grips go mushy when they are about a year old? I buy new knives and get the peeler whether I want it or not. The knives sharpen nicely and have a great shape. I wish they would last. What do I do with all the peelers?I am buying another set now as I do every year. The handles still turn sticky and mushy although they last a bit longer if I do not put them in the dishwasher. The peeler handles don't get sticky but I don't use them all the time like the paring knife. Hate the sticky handles but it is the only knife I can hold and work with.

I DO have arthritis in my hands, and while the handle is big and wide, it is also clumsy and hard to maneuver.The tip of the peeler, intended for removing the eyes on potatoes and blemishes on apples, is NOT metal, but plastic, like the handle. It is USELESS, so you have to keep a paring knife handy.The blade seems sharp enough, but mind you, it is NEW.I think my old swivel peeler is lighter, less clumsy and easier to clean. There seems to be no advantage to this OXO utensil, and it takes up more room in the drawer.This is not one of my stellar purchases from Amazon.

I was disappointed in this version of the Oxo peeler as the handle is quite a bit smaller (in diameter) than the old version, making gripping less easy. Oxo - please bring back the old version!

Very sharp but only works towards me, not away from me. Very difficult to use.

Honestly, this isn't a very good peeler and feels cheap when I use it. Peeling is not easy with this product. I think I will spend more money and get a good peeler with a sharp blade.

Always in search for that comfortable and extra sharp peeler.This wasn't it.

disappointing. the grip is clumsy, the plastic piece on the end of the metal portion is too large and gets in the way sometimes, AND my biggest disappointment, the steel is low quality and didnt stay sharp long at all, which is why i paid a little more. I was hoping trusty OXO would deliver, but no, stick with the cheap-o restaurant supply ones. sorry OXO.

I love everything OXO makes. Truly, I trust this brand. I had been staying somewhere where I had the opportunity to use this set, and was so impressed with the functionality / quality that I ordered one for myself. Unfortunately the "stainless steel" knife rusted after just a few weeks. (The Peeler is fine but I don't use it as often). I can only think that OXO changed their production or had a bad batch. Very disappointing.

It's nowhere near as good as kitchenaid.

Too dangerous... If you are not extremely careful using this, you will be loosing a LOT of blood, believe me. Deep cut to the tip of my index finger while washing the peeler.

Did not peel well at all.

went bad in one direction after a couple of months. only works going towards me, not towards the sink. makes it rather difficult!

We bought one of these some time ago. I've always appreciated the quality of OXO products so I expected no less quality with their peeler. Boy was I surprised at the ineffectivety of this device. It just won't peel. After I complained to my wife she told me that it had never worked and she'd gone back to using the old metal one. No further wasted effort. The OXO peeler went into the trash. Guess we'll pick up a new peeler at the grocery store next trip.

The paring knife has proved quite good, but I cannot find strong enough terms to express my disappointment in the peeler. I can't understand all the recommendations. It requires an undue amount of pressure to peel at all, digs chunks out of the vegetable and doesn't peel smoothly. It feels as though I've used a rather dull knife instead of a highly recommended kitchen tool. Even my small crew of teenage peelers have opted to use our old one from the grocery store. It has no curved edge to remove eyes and although the handle is very comfortable, it is otherwise useless.
