Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Comment: Great design! Amazingly versatile. I found setting the adjustable peeling lever (screw) to the closest level most effective. This is a must have for anyone who peels a lot of apples and potatoes. Big time saver! Highly recommend!*****
Customer Rating: 
Summary: useful with some caveats
Comment: I can image it would be wonderful if anything you put one this machine has perfectly round shape. Most apples are OK, but it fails pretty miserably when I tried to peel potato with it.....
Customer Rating:
Summary: wonderful
Comment: Once you figured out how to do your first apple, it is the best thing ever. I got it, because it was so highly rated. It runs smoothly and is fast. This will come in handy for the holidays when I make applesauce.

Summary: If you complain it leaves a lot of skin on your apples.. adjust it.
Comment: Its the typical ol' apple peeler. Uses a slightly different peeler than they did 150 years ago. But it works just as well.
I thought too that it must be crappy (i got mine at the goodwill) but I adjusted the set screw to allow greater arm movement and it works like a charm. Peels most potatoes (of course leaves the ends, as its not designed for potatoes.
Its a bit wasteful compared to some, but not as bad as me when I peel apples or potatoes.
I fear the slicer/corer piece will bend sooner or later, its just a flat piece of steel bolted on the end with no real support and only 1 wingnut. I may braze something on there if I can figure out a way to do it so as it doesn't interfere. Or just not worry about coring the apples.
Customer Rating:
Summary: had to send it back!
Comment: I had the same experience as those who posted the other bad reviews. I thought the adjustability would make this the perfect apple peeler, but even fine-tuning did not stop this thing from leaving the peel on half the apple and taking half the flesh off the other half -- it also mangled the cores, breaking them in half -- as one other reviewer noted, the spring seems very tight and does not follow the curve of the apples. I had another brand that wasn't expensive at all that worked beautifully until I wore it out. Not sure how this gets all the good reviews unless there is a problem with quality control...
