I recently purchased this after picking way too many apples. This turned out to be a complete waste of money and time. The plastic is flimsy, the handle pops off while you are turning it, and the suction cups on the base are weak. One of their selling points is "the spring loaded blade peels the apple skin in one continuous motion", but when the handle keeps popping off that means a lot of stopping and restarting. The peeler does work but just not very well. In my opinion, there are others listed here on http://www.deluxecomfort.com that are better constructed and would do a much better job for just a few dollars more. I did not realize something like this would require due diligence before buying but I learned the hard way.

This apple-peeler is the bomb. Just make sure you start peeling with the blade at the bottom of the apple. I purchased these for my kids. Now my friends want to know where I got it so they can use it themselves.
I found this little guy yesterday and was hesitant to buy it at first, but I figured i can always return it if it doesn't work. It is FAST and its simplicity is nice. It comes with an extra blade and everything is removable for cleaning and is easy to just hand-wash. It does not core or slice, just peels. Those who want the whole shebang, this is not for you.

I reluctantly bought one of these FIVE years ago at our local grocery. It was an "end cap" item. It was just over six bucks and I figured "not much to lose". I have made apple sauce every year using this peeler and getting ready for the next season. I recall part of it slipping out once last year and I was thinking it may be wearing out. Many say the suction doesn't stick well. Who knows, maybe my counter top is cleaner. (I doubt it :-) ) Well, I want to get a new peeler before my 5 year old/$6+ peeler wears out. I'm buying this one again.
This functioned really well when it was brand new, but four weeks later the blade began to catch on the peel, and the handle pops off when it does. Basically it’s a razor blade, so it will wear and it can't be sharpened. Mine came with one extra blade which was easy to change. Update - the second blade did not fix the catching problem. Maybe it became dull sitting in the air for 6 weeks or something broke the mechanism. I lowered my rating to two stars. It’s a great idea but poor durability/reliability.

The product information does not tell you how many blades come with it. Other sellers do specify, they come with 2 or 3 additional blades and they cost less. Also theirs is transparent and this one is white.
