This item peels apples amazingly fast, as fast as you can turn the handle.It makes the job of peeling and slicing the apples the shortest part of the job when preparing apple desserts.
Really worth the money spent, in saved time and frustration.
It will peel, core and slice an apple as fast as you can turn the handle, about 30 seconds per apple.
You'll probably peel more apples then you need, just because it's neat to watch it work.
Minus: You have to hold the cutter back until it gets started on BIG apples (or LARGE potatoes).
You need a smooth non porious surface to attach it too or it requires two hands to use it.

This is my first peeler, so I didn't exactly know how to compare one from another and I hope this helps.First, the mouth opening is a good size for Small Apples and Small potatoes or you can simply cut the potato in half so that it fits correctly in opening.
Second: The adjust screw to tension the shaving device is what it is,it's a screw and very difficult it difficult to access with a screwdriver there is no way to adjust the pressure with your fingers.
If this is your first peeler, you must adjust the pressure for every item you place in the peeler, otherwise, you will lose the flesh of the product.
I feel there is probably a better cutting blade out there as well. But how do you find one. It was a cheap learning experience and after using the product a couple of times, I now know what to look for in a replacement. "Wider Mouth opening and easy access to the tension adjuster"
Positive, suction cup works great.

Recently purchased this Apple Peeler as a novelty item for Christmas. My 9 year old daughter loves apples but hates the peel. I taught her how to use a potato peeler but she struggled. With this Victorio Apple Peeler she can have an apple peeled, cored, and sliced in less than 30 seconds. Now she eats an apple a day and loves using this gadget. My 12 year old who used to eat the apple without peeling also loves using this item. I find that the waste less apple using this than other methods.Want Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction Base Discount?
I bought this peeler/corer/slicer for use in dehydrating apple slices and after the first use am awarding it four stars.The machine is a bit fussy in two areas:
the first is that it is very picky about the surface its suction cup will accept. It must be perfectly smooth and my kitchen countertop surface isn't. a smooth surfaced metal cookie sheet worked very well (i doubt a teflon coated one would work all that well).
The second issue is the variety of apple I was using. Red Delicious apples didn't work because they are a bit too soft beneath the skin and the mounting "prongs" chewed up the stem end of the apple. Granny Smith apples worked very well.
Others have griped about trying to peel potatoes with it. I have no intention of using it in that manner so I'll take their word for it.
