Lantana Potato Peeler + Micro-Serrated Veg Peeler + Julienne Slicer - 3 in 1 for Speed Peeling of Fruit & Vegetable - Black/Grey/Stainless Steel

After getting miffed with my old peeler, which was getting blunt and was the not one of the 'Y' shaped ones, I turned to Amazon to see if I could replace it with a better one. It's actually a bit of a shock when you consider just how many different peelers there are out there and I was a tad overwhelmed at first, but I narrowed it down to a small selection of different ones and then further narrowed it down to this one, purely because it offered more than just the ability to peel as per a 'normal' peeler and was a bargain-basement price. >>> FIRST IMPRESSIONS? This peeler comes in a nice little box, and once it was opened I was pleased to see that the peeler itself feels pretty solid, with a comfortable handle that, crucially for my tiny kitchen, has a hole in it so it can be hung from a hook. At the end of the handle is what can only be described as the 'Frankenstein's Monster' of peeling heads. Instead of having just a bog-standard straight blade which you'll see on most peelers, this one has three different heads, which can be selected by spinning the ratcheted head until the one you want to use clicks into place. In addition to a standard straight peeling blade, you get one that peels julienne-like strips from veggies and another that peels fluted/crinkled strips. >>>DOES IT WORK WELL? Well, the first thing I did was set about some carrots and a couple of sweet potatoes with this new peeler. I tried out the 'standard' blade first and was seriously impressed by just how sharp it is. It just glides through the surface of carrots with almost zero resistance, so it's probably a good idea to keep your fingertips and knuckles clear of it while you're using it. Next, I clicked the head around to the julienne head and set about a carrot with it. This head is just as sharp as the standard one and peeled off perfectly thin strips of carrot, which would work beautifully in salads, Chinese food and all sorts of things. Impressive! Finally, I tried the crinkle-cut/fluted blade which is again amazingly sharp. This creates fancy shreds of veggies which would once again be lovely in salads and could add a nice touch of class to dishes. >>>SUMMING UP Well, there's not much else to say about this cool little kitchen gadget. It's really well thought out, feels purposeful and solid and works beautifully. Are there any downsides? Well, the julienne head is a little tricky to clean, but that's the only thing I can think of, so I overall think that I'm going to be using this a lot!

You will need to watch your fingers as this tool is ridiculously sharp, for obvious reasons. But it is a great tool, does exactly what it says.

After leaving the review below, which I am leaving a precis of here so people can see what the issue was - I was contacted by the seller/maker after this review and they were concerned about the issue and wanted to address it. They believed I had recieved a faulty unit, refunded me and offered to send out a replacement. I have received the replacement and can confirm that the slipping in use issue is not happening. The unit worked fine today peeling and julienning and the selected head stayed put and did the job. I am happy to say it works well and is worth the outlay. Thanks to the seller for very good customer service! You can buy with confidence from this supplier. "... The so called selling point is three different heads, but they won't stay in place when you are trying to shred anything. It just slips around and around,...."

The first peeler that actually needs a safety guard over the blades, they're so sharp! Don't lose that guard as it keeps your fingers safe while digging through the kitchen drawer. Being so sharp, it makes peeling unbelievably fast, whizzing along with ease. It's just the right size and shape, fits the hand comfortably. I bought this second one for my son, after visiting him and helping to prepare a meal there then discovering he had the cheapest and nastiest peeler imaginable. He needed one of these urgently! Mine has being going strong for almost 5 years now, and just as sharp as ever. This thing is going to last longer than I do probably! Value for money, excellent. Almost forgot - yes it does julienne etc too if you should need that. I usually just do it the old fashioned way, with a good sharp chef's knife. But the features are there.

This peeler is nice and balanced to hold, any additional weight from the multifunction head is well balanced by the handle... It isn't bulky or clumsy. Very easy to use for ridiculously small spuds from the bottom of the bag, and large awkward sweet potatoes. Makes super thin scalped peelings, so creates very little waste. I've had a swizz of the blade that looks like a crimping iron for onion, and that's worked really well for thin tiny slices. Need to use it over a large plate or saucepan because the pieces of onion flick all over the place - admittedly, this is because I am quite clumsy and onion pieces weigh very little. If you use this attachment lengthways on a carrot, lovely long strips drop exactly how you'd expect them to. I haven't used the soft fruit attachment, but if it performs as well as the other two, it'll make short work of the paring without taking a load of flesh. I've not worked out which not to use to shred lettuce, I tried all three but ended up with lettuce pulp hunker in the blades During use, the two blades not being used will rattle but they're quite stable. Also, I found I got my fingernails with one of the blades that area not in use when peeling something particularly small - I do have large hands, but if the item being peeled is much smaller than a ping pong ball (eg the end of the onion) this could a problem for the user. On the whole, I'm very impressed. I bought this as a bit of a novelty and have been pleasantly surprised.

Excellent peeler, glided over squash and even pumpkins. Has saved me time and waste with potatoes etc and the finish of the carrots for coleslaw etc is very good and even. There is a safety cap so you don’t harm yourself when it’s not in use.

Being a bit old school I have always used a fixed blade peeler after having tried similar to this many years ago. I just couldn't get along with the other one but this is a totally different ball game. It's lightening fast, simple to use and unbelievably sharp. This is one item I can't recommend enough. Makes peeling a doddle

Extrem scharf und leichtgängig. Damit macht es Spaß zu arbeiten. Ist seinen Preis wert.

Prodotto di ottima fattura, robusto e funzionale.

Après avoir essayé l'éplucheur, il en ressort que c'est un très bon article, il fait de fines épluchures, la lame dentelée est parfaite pour les tomates. Le seul bémol que j'ai eu c'est pour les julienne qui a eu plusieurs bourrage et j'avoue que c'est pénible de devoir s'arrêter pour nettoyer la lame, mais pour le reste nickel 👌. Je recommande vivement.

super

Perfecto tal como se indica en la web, ideal con patatas, zanahorias... se nota la calidad del producto.
