OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler Reviews Summary

Sharpness

Pros:

• "It's sharp so it doesn't require much pressure."
• "It’s super sharp. I hope it stays that way."
• "The blades on this peeler are razor sharp! This veteran mom has peeled many a potatoes & I've never had a peeler that sliced a deep long gash out of my finger."
• "It is razor sharp and peels close to the surface (meaning it doesn't peel deep into the item)."
• "This OXO vegetable peeler hits the spot as it comes razor sharp."
• "They are very sharp."
• "This thing slipped the skin off my cucumber so fast, I almost dropped it in the trash can! It is so sharp!"

Cons:

• "The first time I used it I actually nicked the side of the thumb because I wasn't used to the way this peeler glided over apple I was peeling."
• "Now, I will say that after 6 months of use on those potatoes, I have managed to dull the blade a bit."
• "I might have loved this peeler, but it came with the blade separate and I cut my fingers trying to attach it."
• "But be careful it’s the sharpest one I’ve had also. I cut my finger the first time using it to peel a potato."
• "This peeler is way too dangerous to use due to the design issue! It has cut my fingers 3 times."
• "I've been using this top brand for a few months and the sharp edge it came with has already reduced about 50%."
• "When attempting to free the peeler from its packaging, I managed to slice a quarter-sized piece of skin off of my hand at the base of my first finger."

Ergonomics

Pros:

• "Not is it ergonomically constructed, it also works fabulously, without the need to press on the blade."
• "The handle has comfortable holding gripe."
• "Love the OXO products for how they fit in the hand as someone who does a lot of cooking they make it a little easier."
• "The grip is large and quite nice and I've never had any slipping while using it."
• "It fits my hands and with the design I don't get cramps in my fingers or fatigued hands when peeling large batches."
• "The grip is comfortable and there is nothing not to like about it."
• "The design is outstandingly ergonomic."

Cons:

• "The handle on this peeler is not comfortable at all."
• "The blade and handle are too close to the potato."
• "The design of this peeler makes it too dangerous to use because the blades are simply too long/wide!"
• "I find the handle to be weirdly chunky and less ergonomic because of that."
• "The grip is comfortable, but the thick handle means it wouldn't fit in any utensils drawer."
• "Also, the handle is not as comfortable to hold as an old-fashioned Ecko peeler."
• "The handle of this one is fractionally smaller and harder than the one we had before, which makes it slightly less comfortable to hold, particularly for my wife who has arthritic hands."

Durability

Pros:

• "I can confirm that years of use and going through the dishwasher hasn't harmed it in the slightest."
• "It has been over a year and it's still sharp, hasn't rusted or gotten stiff, still swivels, easy to clean - hasn't gotten grimey."
• "I've had this for over a year. It was very sharp when it came and is almost as sharp now."
• "Oxo is a great company. My oxo kitchen utensils have been with me for also 23 years."
• "It’s the perfect weight/size."
• "I've now had for a few years and use at least once per week. Still going strong."
• "I've had this peeler for 8 years, and it's still sharp."

Cons:

• "We used this peeler for years and always loved it. It worked well and the handle felt comfortable in my hand. One day the handle fell off."
• "I bought this knife a little more than a year ago... but after 1 year it's dull and will not peel anything, for example, apple skin."
• "However, the plastic bar behind the blade is a problem."
• "Had one for almost 10 years and the blade eventually wore down which was fair enough..."
• "I have been using for seven years until it get lost somehow."
• "My old Oxo peeler lasted me 23 years and I only replaced it because it just started to get dull."
• "It has a nice rubber grip handle, It does an excellent job, regardless of what you're peeling without wasting anything. And it stays sharp; mine has not dulled in 12 years."
