Best peeler money can buy - Review written on November 26, 2007

When I first received my i-Series peeler, I was impressed. Heavy, balanced ... wow, couldn't believe I only paid $10.
That was six months ago. Now that I have been using it for a significant period of time I am more impressed than I was initially.
Here's why.
1. The blades are not only incredibly sharp and replaceable, but, you can also flip the blade so that you gain the benefit of using both sides. Most peelers go in the recycling box with one side of the blade still sharp because the blade is permanently fixed.
2. After six months, I am still on my first blade and it's still sharp. You can replace and flip the blade, and since it's removable, you can also thoroughly clean it, which helps keep it sharp.
Every time I show the i-series peeler to someone, they buy it.
OXO did an excellent job designing this product.

7 STARS ! Having been a Head Chef (4 STAR Hotel in Hampton Court - Henry VIII's Palace) in a previous life, I know the benefits of using a highly efficient tool to make a boring repetitive task bearable. After thoroughly researching the market, I came a cross this little beauty. It even makes peeling spuds - FUN ! Shush ! don't tell anyone I said that, as I don't want to be thought of as SAD. It does its job superbly well, and is a joy to use.
NOTE: In use, I found the swivel peeler to be better for rounder items such as Spuds, and the Y peeler better for longer items such as Carrots and Parsnips. Horses for courses.
When something exceeds your expectations by a country mile, then it must be really good. BUY IT NOW, you won't regret it. Its macho boyfriend, the i-Series Y Peeler, is also superb, and is also a BUY IT NOW !
If you buy both, you will make them very happy, as they can then canoodle together in the drawer in the dark !
