Rösle Stainless Steel 1.5-inch Wide Crosswise Swivel Peeler

This peeler is beyond incredible! Not only is it built well, but it peels like nothing I have ever used. Peeling a butternut squash just became as easy as peeling a carrot.This feels so sturdy and comfortable in my hand. The peeler is razor sharp and allows one to peel faster than I would have thought possible.Yes, it does cost more, but it will be the last peeler you ever need to buy, and with the ease of how it works, will save time, and we all know time is money!!

Note: If you are right handed and swipe the peeler away from you, this is the one you want.It's fantastic. The best peeler that I've ever used. It's designed for the left handed user only if you swipe toward you.

Spectacularly well-designed and -made. A sheer pleasure to use. Being asked to peel something is no longer a chore but a treat. This device is so wonderful that we have since acquired additional Rösle tools, including the garlic press, can opener, and ladle. These are all just a joy to behold, and to hold. They are undoubtedly expensive, but your grandchildren will appreciate them too!

About a year ago I bought a similar looking Kuhn-Rikon peeler and was disappointed in it (I note that amazon no longer sells that K-R product). So I was apprehensive about the Rosle peeler even though others had given it high marks. But not to worry; this peeler is a real tool and designed quite differently than any other I've seen. First off, as others have noted, the blade is replaceable (current cost $6 including 2 new screws). Secondly, the blade itself swings in a much shorter arc than other swivel types which prevents the blade from hanging up on the peeler frame which was the main problem with the Kuhn-Rikon. The blade is very sharp and cleanly peels raw tomatoes with ease (my acid test). As others have noted you have to make a decision re: the LH/RH choice and will necessitate most cooks making some adjustment in their technique. For example most people peel an apple towards you while peeling a carrot away, it's a fat/round vs. long/skinny thing. But this peeler is so smooth that the adjustment is easy and it's beautifully designed and manufactured.... looks more like a surgical instrument than a kitchen gadget.The only other thing for those that are interested is it's made in China. The euro manufacturers are not immune from the lure of cheap labor and have quietly (compared to US standards) moved much of their manufacturing offshore to Asia. The difference is they do their best to hide it with code words touting "German design" or "Swiss engineered and designed". Even the venerable French firm Le Creuset has much of their production (not the enameled cast iron) manufactured in China. The major difference seems to be that these euro firms often continue parallel manufacturing in their home markets, so an identical product might be purchased in Munich or Lyon and come from an EU plant while the rest of the world might get the Chinese version. Really not an issue unless one feels sending US dollars to one foreign country is OK while sending it to another is not.

I bought this because of a 3rd party site's review. The original one arrived with blade snapped off. Replacement was not easy to use but I wanted to believe it was the best. Nope. Just a few months later, it rusted out and the blade broke off. Do not buy this! It's dangerous!

This is the best peeler I have bought. I noticed the screws were getting loose so I tightened them. Then it worked just fine. However I did end up losing a screw and buying another peeler. If it starts to not peel very well, tighten up the screws. Screws are available at your local hardware store

Good quality item.

I have an older version of this and it’s great! So I ordered a new one. It’s a little different. You can replace the blade! The only problem is the blade is facing the same way on the left handed a right handed. I peel going away from me and the right handed one shows peeling up towards you. I checked the left handed one and the picture shows the exact same side. You can only peel one direction. But the left and right are the same!
