this is without a doubt the best peeler i've ever used. my husband likes it so much, he had me order another one as a gift for a friend(who had a crappy peeler). it is almost effortless to use, very sharp, and the little rounded tip on the end is very efficient and easy to use for removing bad spots. it comes w/a protective cover on the blade, which we replace after using. i bought the extra blade, but have no idea when the original will have to be replaced. i highly recommend this peeler, especially if you have bought cheap "grocery store" peelers in the past; you'll notice a world of difference with this one!

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.

I've had this peeler for several months now, and can't say a bad thing about it. This is without a doubt the best peeler I've used.

This peeler is a replacement for the previous style that Oxo has been making for many years. My old one, after years of use, broke recently and I was debating whether to get this one or the old version, which I really liked. I'm glad I picked the newer style. I love the heft of the handle that makes peeling easier and the little doohicky on the end to get out bad spots is a big improvement over the old one.

I was skeptical that there could be a significant difference in the performance of vegetable peelers, but this is a great tool! Well balanced and comfortable, with a super-sharp blade... it makes quick work of potatoes. I like that the blade is replaceable; helps to make it more economical as the years go by.
