1 out of 5 stars Does not work for peeling potatoes!   September 6, 2008
A. Genov (Bloomington,, IL United States)
Although this product is advertised as being able to peel potatoes, don't get fooled - it does not. In that regard, it is a joke!


4 out of 5 stars Apple Peeler   September 6, 2008
Kenneth C. Drinnon (Knoxville, TN USA)
The best feature is the suction mount. All the spring loaded mechanisms make it easy to load and unload the apples. Adjusting the peeler knife for best cut is a mite tedious. Didn't find much use for the slicer/ corer feature. Preferred using a separate corer instead.
It makes peeling large quantity of apples for preserving a breeze
I am very satisfied.



5 out of 5 stars Great Time Saver   September 4, 2008
Granny's Purse (MS)
I was very pleased with this peeler. It worked exactly as stated. I had 10 apples peeled, sliced and cored in no time. It may have taken a little time to clean but even adding clean-up into the equation it was still a huge time saver. I would like to add, it's very well made and will most likely last for years.


5 out of 5 stars Must have in my kitchen   August 30, 2008
D. Powell (Knoxville, AR USA)
I purchased the Back to Basics Apple Peeler a few months ago. Since that time I have used it for three apple pies, and 30 quarts of canned apples, not to mention the "extras" that the grandkids did for snacks.

The product arrived in a timely fashion, well packaged, and was very easy to set up and start using.

It has been put through the "speed peel" test that only ten and seven year old boys can administer (10 gallon bucket of apples on this venture :) It did not break, it still works perfectly. The blades are still sharp, the corer still works great, and all in all it is as good as the day I purchased it. We had a blast working on the apples together and watching the peel come off in long strings :) Even if the apple is not put on the peeler correctly (core not straight), the peeler still does it's job. (We each took turns putting the apples on the peeler.)

At first, the spring is tight and the peeler takes a bit deeper chunk than when it loosens up, but the time saved is well worth the little bit of apple lost. And, we did all shapes of apples and all peeled quite well. There is a bit of peel left at the very top and bottom when finished.

This will be a permanent appliance in my kitchen as long as I am harvesting apples. I seldom write reviews but I was very impressed with this product.

Back To Basics Apple and Potato Peeler
I have seen this product all my life and never believed it would be beneficial. Then I decided it would be helpful to make raw vegetable spagetti. The day after it arrived, I found myself with a bushel of apples. So I set it up and began slicing and coring away. It did a wonderful job and in no time I had all the apples in the dehydrator. Very nice job and so easy to use!!!
