Product Review

This peeler will shear off wide strips from eggplants, zucchini, potatoes and even Parmesan cheese.

Amazon.com Review

Whether peeling a Granny Smith apple or a fruit with a tougher skin, this Y-peeler is most suitable for the task. Its sharp, wide stainless-steel blades contour to almost any surface shape. The built-in potato eye remover is durable and can easily carve out blemishes without digging.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

5.0 out of 5 stars Best peeler around, October 23, 2001

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Y Peeler (Kitchen)
I love this peeler! I prefer this style over the swivel because it's easier to control and I'm less apt to cut myself. The blades are sharp enough to skin some winter squash, but dull enough so that my blade-phobic friend can peel potatoes.The OXO rubber comfort grip is what distinguishes this peeler from others with similar designs. I can easily prepare enough russet and sweet potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc. for a large holiday dinner without getting a cramp and without the tool slipping from my wet hands.I've had mine for about 5 years and it's still in great condition, but having an online source for this is very convenient because in my area, most stores carry only the swivel version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why go Y?, August 8, 2000

The design is different, which may be a nice option for some... But I found it more awkward than the traditional design as my hands kept getting in the way of what I was doing.Also, the tip on the edge is really inadequate for de-eye-ing potatoes or cutting out bad spots.Cut the food, not your own hands: If all I ever peeled were carrots, I might be happy with the Y. But overall I prefer the OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler and will use it for apples, potatoes and everything else. It's the traditional knife-style model but with the ergonomic padding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best peeler I've ever had!, September 3, 2000

This peeler cuts through potato and cucumber skin like butter. My son loves to peel things for now! I no longer dread the task of peeling. My old peeler took forever to perform the task of peeling potatoes. After using this peeler, I'm sold for life on OXO!
