Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express - Electric Peeler

The Rotato Express, when it works, makes peeling potatoes and other veggies a breeze. It's especially great when making large batches of potatoes or turnips -all that peeling can really be a hassle sometimes. The Rotato can turn a big job into a fast job and save you a lot of time in the kitchen. When it works.

The problem is, well, it doesn't always work. The build quality of this thing is cheaper than cheap. The blades pop loose easily because the plastic clips they're attached to are flimsy. Veggies with hard peels will constantly jerk the blades out. Even worse, the spring on the arm of my device popped loose after about two months of medium use. This renders the device useless unless you can manage to reinsert the spring (not an easy job).

At the cheap price, you could almost consider it a disposable item and just grab a new Rotato, but that's just too darn wasteful for such a big hunk of plastic.

If they delivered a better unit, even for $10-15 bucks more, I could heartily recommend this device for people who enjoy potatoes, turnips, or any other veggies that need a lot of peeling. As it is, it might be worth a look, but convenience comes with headaches.

I own a grocery store that has an expanding deli. I looked at one of these peelers but they had so many bad reviews. I hate wasting time and wasting potatoes peeling them. I bought this little thing and wow! It really works. Plus all the peeling go straight in the trash. My clean up is nothing. I should have bought this a long time ago. I have peeled about 100 lbs of potatoes with the same blade. So definitely the best bang for your buck. I also use it for making apple pies. I peeled about 30lbs of potatoes a week this is great for the money and electricity cost. So much faster ,so much easier, and doesn't waste potatoes. Thank so much!

I bought the Rotato to replace my old electric peeler that finally died. I needed to peel a large stack of potatoes for Thanksgiving, and thought I had it made when I remembered the Rotato sitting in the pantry, unused since receiving it earlier this year. What I pulled out of the box was a lightweight plastic ghost of the old peeler. The blade could not grab hold of the potato skin, just skipped along making nicks until it reached the bottom and turned itself off. I tried it on dry and wet potatoes. I'm envious of those reviewers who had good luck with their peelers; I could not get mine to work.

I do love this peeler...it really does save a boat load of time. It takes me less than 10 minutes total to peel 5 pounds of potatoes. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is I wish it would peel closer to the top and the bottom of the potato, which would allow you to just trim the top and bottom, as opposed to having to manually peel them after they have gone through the rotato express.

My son & I prepare 250 pounds of Gravenstein apples for applesauce each year. We couldn't do it without this machine. We know that it was created for home use, not commercial use, so it probably wasn't intended for such intense use. Therefore, we run it for 15 minutes then let it cool for 15 minutes so the motor doesn't overheat. We just finished this year's batch, running it this way for three days at five or so hours each day, and it was terrific.
