Oxo Good Grips i-Series Swivel Peeler Reviews

• Oxo is #1 Again!

  
  By AXWHQ06HOVUY7 on 2005-06-24
  I bought this & was amazed of the quality & the improvements over all the other vegetable peelers I have used in the past.
  A super sharp replaceable blade, a rubber tacky grip, a vastly superior potato eye remover, and it has a great comfortable feel & balance.
  
  

• The only peeler in my life (well, OK, the only peeler I USE...)

  
  By A2IKX7H2PLHULP on 2005-11-30
  I've been using a dull old Kitchenaid vegetable peeler for more than a year now, and got fed up with it. The appeal (HA!) of this peeler is that the blade is replaceable. So it might get dull in a year, yes, but I won't have to shell out ten bucks for another peeler, I'll be able to shell out slightly less (hopefully!) for a replacement blade. And this blade is SO sharp. It seems much sharper than the Kitchenaid peeler's blade was, so hopefully it won't get dull as quickly.
  
  

• FORGET THE REST, BUY THE BEST !

  7 STARS ! Having been a Head Chef (4 STAR Hotel in Hampton Court - Henry VIII's Palace) in a previous life, I know the benefits of using a highly efficient tool to make a boring repetitive task bearable. After thoroughly researching the market, I came a cross this little beauty. It even makes peeling spuds - FUN ! Shush ! don't tell anyone I said that, as I don't want to be thought of as SAD. It does its job superbly well, and is a joy to use.
  
  NOTE: In use, I found the swivel peeler to be better for rounder items such as Spuds, and the Y peeler better for longer items such as Carrots and Parsnips. Horses for courses.
  
  When something exceeds your expectations by a country mile, then it must be really good. BUY IT NOW, you won't regret it. Its macho boyfriend, the i-Series Y Peeler, is also superb, and is also a BUY IT NOW !
  
  If you buy both, you will make them very happy, as they can then canoodle together in the drawer in the dark !
  
  
  
  

• Mom was right!

  
  By A26XTZ23ZBNLVD on 2007-05-06
  I laughed when my mother said that one potato peeler was better than another. But then I tried using hers and I stopped laughing. If you normally use a peeler (that is, if you are not a tried-and-true knife-wielding peeler) you should try one of these. Borrow a friend's if you must. I don't know why the handle should make such a difference; you'd think the blade was the important part. Maybe the blade is better quality too, who knows. But it makes a world of difference to the person who is peeling, so much easier to peel, better control, whatever. I don't know. But the difference is amazing. I have one now, you betcha!
  
  After you get one for yourself, you might be like me and end up buying them for every bridal shower's wishing well.
  
  
  
  

• Simply a great peeler

  
  By ADIZN5JGNDXEL on 2004-11-17
  This is just a fantastic peeler at a very reasonable price. Has a very comfortable handle that gives you nice control. The metal construction is a nice improvement over the original OXO peeler: its potato eyer is much sharper and easier to use. The blade is ultra sharp also. Not sure if I'll ever need to replace the blade, but its a nice option to have.
  
  
• Best Vegetable Peeler
  By ARCF0SRWOXANJ on 2004-12-22
  This is probably the best peeler I've ever used. Far better than the cheap peelers you'd get at the grocery store. The peeler is cast out of zinc and has a soft, rubberized coating on the grip. It is nicely weighted and shaped perfectly. The blade is also wickedly sharp; on par with a high-quality kitchen knife. I used it to peel some carrots and potatoes for a stew and it worked much quicker and with less fuss than my old peeler. Highly recommended.
  
  
• Very, very sharp
  By A27D7RISKOH1YL on 2006-08-06
  The design of this peeler is excellent. It's easy to grip, and you can reverse or replace the blade. But what really counts is the blade is sharp! Razor sharp! It works so easily it doesn't feel as if you're actually cutting. It comes with a plastic shield for the blade. I suggest you keep it and use it when you store the peeler to preserve that marvelous edge.
  
  
• GREAT PEELER
  By A14F8PJDH2R18M on 2005-07-10
  This is a great peeler, I tried it on vegetable peels and fruit peels, it works fantastic, also when the blades gets dull, you can purchase refill blades (comes in 2 pack case).
  The handle works great, I have a small hand and it was very comfortable. Peeling fruits like apple or pears the skin stayed in one piece.
  Worth the extra money it cost, plus if you look for newer stock there is also a blade guard that comes with the peeler.
  
  
• Works Like A Charm
  By A3LDQM3GCURG92 on 2005-11-12
  This is the best peeler I have ever used. It feels nice and heavy in hand. Has a comfortable handle with a no-slip grip. Makes peeling lots of things at once go faster. The blade is very sharp and has lasted a long time. The eye removal too works very well too. I am now an OXO convert.
  
  
• Very good peeler
  By A1T6KOWQKCDZ0I on 2006-01-07
  We've used OXO Good Grips peelers for several years and we've been very happy with them. We found out about the i-Series Swivel Peeler from watching America's Test Kitchen, which highly recommended the new peeler. I wasn't sure Good Grips could improve on the old model, but this one is better. Since it arrived we have reached for the i-Series Peeler every time. It is very comfortable to use. Feels very balanced and it is super sharp. The metal tip is great for removing the bad bits from potatoes. Highly recommend this peeler.
  
  
• How do I love thee?
  By A3CICD75EB0FGQ on 2006-01-11
  Let me count the ways: 1. Blade is so sharp, you could perform surgery with it. 2. Smart, smart, smart design. 3. Replaceable blade! Need I say more? 4. Perfect grip - feels natural in the hand. 5. Potato eye remover tip is the best I've ever used. 6. I love you so much, I find excuses to use you! Seriously, I've found no drawbacks with this item. I bought it and a package of spare blades, and I feel like I'm set for life. It makes short work of potatoes, but the way it peels cucumbers is like silk. A true joy to use.
  
  
• The Best
  By A35DSAZ6TD3J3W on 2006-06-03
  This is simply the best peeler we've ever owned, in both quality of manufacture and ease of use. You can't go wrong here.
  
  
• This is a very good peeler
  By A37WU7T0IMD3KA on 2006-07-26
  I used it to peel an apple, and it worked great! I didn't know that peelers could do that. It is very well made, and very sharp. I would expect it to last maybe 20 years based on my twice a week or so usage.
  
  
• Wonderful peeler!
  By ACY8VVKAZTMAG on 2006-12-24
  I bought this peeler based on reviews by Cooks Illustrated and agree with their reviews. The stainless steel blade means no rust and have not seen rust yet after months of use. It glides through potato skin like butter. Carrots are even smoother. I wanted a hefty peeler for butternut squash and this peeler does a much better job then my previous favorite peeler from Tupperware. I highly recommend this peeler.
  
  
• Love it!
  By AH8PWXIQ93ERU on 2005-09-19
  This peeler is comfortable and makes peeling vegetables an easy task - I almost want to do it.
  
  
• my 10yo can use it!
  By A1Q7MWWO0C4CFN on 2007-09-09
  We saw this item on America's Test Kitchen where it was rated best in its class.
  
  
• The best peeler
  By AB1Y8Z50EPV46 on 2005-09-26
  This peeler is the best I've ever used. It has a hefty weight to it and a really sharp (replaceable) blade which makes peeling very easy,
  
  
• Best Peeler Ever!
  By A632U6LCB2LRZ on 2006-02-19
  This peeler is amazing, and really inexpensive. I am really please with how easily it takes the skin off of cucumbers, carrots, etc. This is definetly a great item!
  
  
• Extremely a"peeling"
  By A1VS1LL905P5L5 on 2007-04-12
  Ever use a peeler that works but the peels are so thick that a potato or carrot is only a shadow of it's former self after peeling? The blade in this peeler is very thin and sharp. I noticed in peeling a cucumber for the first time with this, that the skin was removed effortlessly and quickly, but the peel was shallow enough to leave the vitamin rich inner pith that is just under the skin of most vegetables. The blade has a small plastic snap-on shield to protect it from damage in the drawer and also from losing any skin while digging around to locate it. The blade is also replaceable so that super sharp function will always be there. As all OXO Good Grips, it has a tactile feel and great fit in the hand. FYI it's probably best just to rinse this off and pat dry as opposed to throwing it in a dish washer to keep the blade corrosion free and razor sharp. Who knew peeling potatoes could be less of a chore.
  
  
• i-Series Y Peeler is much more convenient
  By A1N7ROYP7TGWI on 2007-06-09
  I purchased this with i-Series Y Peeler. I find Y peeler much more convenient for potatoes.
  
  
• A Muscular Tool
  By A2THAEZK218GXH on 2007-12-29
  This peeler makes the quickest work ever of heavy-duty peeling jobs, like winter
  squashes. The little scraper cup at the top of the peeler is a great bonus.
  It makes short work of getting rid of the strings inside winter squashes
  after deseeding. It also enabled me to peel an eggplant (another generally
  frustrating kitchen job) in record time! The best peeler I ever used (and
  I've tried em all).
  
  
• Twenty-first Century Peeler!
  By A1XFQ3M83MMELR on 2007-06-21
  I'm a creature of habit and when I like a product I stick with it. I was happy with my cheap Ecko peeler for years and years, and when I was down to my last one (yes, I stockpile) I hurriedly checked Amazon for a replacement. Well, they didn't have an Ecko peeler. Yipe! But there were excellent reviews for the OXO Good Grips so I thought I'd try it. It was like walking out of the dark ages. A great hand grip, smooth action; it never feels like you're fighting the vegetable. And it has replacement blades. Well worth the money. Thanks again Amazon!
  
  
• The BEST peeler EVER!!!!
  By AUAJBY55X9K4C on 2007-09-26
  Ok, I'm a beginner cook and let me tell you...this is the absolute BEST peeler I could've EVER gotten!! It's SO easy to peel things! I just used it for the first time last night peeling cucumbers and boy oh boy, was it a whiz!!! Just about a week and a half ago, I was using a knife to peel things and it took FOREVER!! Now I'm looking for other things to peel cause this thing just works that good!! Just a *take care* heads up...watch your fingers around the blade cause that sucker works!! I haven't cut myself on it (yet), but I've read some of the other reviews and I can definitely agree, that blade is sharp! You definitely gotta pick yourself up one of these peelers! You WON'T regret it!
  
  
• Best peeler money can buy
  By A21492PY0W9VN7 on 2007-11-26
  When I first received my i-Series peeler, I was impressed. Heavy, balanced ... wow, couldn't believe I only paid $10.
  
  That was six months ago. Now that I have been using it for a significant period of time I am more impressed than I was initially.
  
  Here's why.
  
  1. The blades are not only incredibly sharp and replaceable, but, you can also flip the blade so that you gain the benefit of using both sides. Most peelers go in the recycling box with one side of the blade still sharp because the blade is permanently fixed.
  
  2. After six months, I am still on my first blade and it's still sharp. You can replace and flip the blade, and since it's removable, you can also thoroughly clean it, which helps keep it sharp.
  
  Every time I show the i-series peeler to someone, they buy it.
  
  OXO did an excellent job designing this product.
  
  
• Works Even Better than My Original OXO Peeler
  By A1HS0JDV5GLHIX on 2008-06-23
  I have a 10-yr old OXO peeler that is still sharp but looking ratty - the white handle has gotten very stained. After checking several typical kitchen stores locally I couldn't find the same OXO model and was so glad to find this on Amazon.
  
  This new OXO peeler feels great and a definite improvement over my old ratty OXO peeler (that I still love). Its bigger and heavier than the old peeler but the added weight and balance makes peeling effortless. This thing is sturdy enough that I even peel butternut squash with it! Very happy with this purchase indeed and am getting this for other family members who also love to cook.
  
  
• Works well, but heavy
  By A2YQJ44XCVYT0M on 2008-11-11
  I bought this peeler based on the Cook's Ill. recommendation. It works very well, but it took me a while to get used to its weight. I do like the big handle, which fits my hands well. While I usually like utensils with good heft and a solid feel, it feels odd in a peeler.

  By A1NR2X99LLDMUU on 2008-01-12
  This has got to be the best peeler design in HISTORY!!! I use to hate peeling potatoes until I bought this peeler. I also bought one for my daughter and step-mom and they both absolutely love it! Try it I guarantee you'll love it. They also offer replacement blades for this item. Sounds kinda crazy to be so excited about a peeler, but try it you will be too....
  
  
• Excellent!
  By AV42UL7C4XY13 on 2008-01-23
  I bought this because it was given good reviews by Cooks Magazine. The first time I used it I said "Wow!". It glides easily, feels good in your hand and does an excellent job. Highly recommended.
  
  
• It just works! Fantastically!
  By A1A3LRH05PKTBD on 2008-02-27
  I've had the same potato peeler for the past five years and I thought it was perfect for what I needed. And it was. I finally had to buy a peeler for my mum and looked around for a similar (non-swivel) model and could not find any. I'm always leery about sharper objects twisting a bit, so I thought I'd give it a try. Boy have I been missing out...
  
  The peeler does a fast and fantastic job of cleaning potatoes without the skipping you may get from older, duller peelers. I don't feel threatened by overly sharp edges on it. Works well whether my hands are wet or not - no slipping around at all. Rinses quickly and retains its finish. And of course, has the usual Oxo "comfy grip." Overall, it's wonderful buy for the price.
  
  
• I didn't think that I'd ever love a vegetable peeler!
  By A1IC6TE4QPSZGJ on 2006-12-06
  One vegetables peeler is as good as another right? That's what I thought. But when ATC rated this the best peeler and one of mine broke the same day, I tried this one. Less costly than several premium peelers, I was skeptical. When I got it home and tried it out, WOW was all that I could say, this really is the best peeler that I've ever used! It balances more like a knife than other models I've used, and the edge stays sharp. The swivel is smooth which makes for fewer passes on the vegetable saving time. If the edge ever dulls I can pick up a three pack of replacement blades for less than $5. Oxo really has a winner here! Works as well left or right handed.
