The Original Magic Trio Peeler Slicers Shredders for Fruits and Vegetables with Spiralizer, Julienne, Cutter and Grater Kitchen Helper, Picador de Verduras Pelador Papas Y

My sweetheart wanted a set of these after seeing an advertisement because you can use them on so many different foods. I never saw it and I wasn't so sure because they're shaped so differently and I didn't think they'd be so easy to handle. As it turned out, we were both right. I haven't used the red Julienne peeler yet, but I used the blue peeler for slicing cheese and lettuce, and for peeling apples, pears and fresh tomatoes, most of which I've never used a peeler for before. The skin peeled in the thinnest slices, and it didn't even squish the tomato one bit, which all by itself is amazing. It also works really well for digging out bad spots with the scoop on the side. I used the black one for peeling potatoes, a common occurrence. I found both peelers to be super sharp. I had no problems at all using the blue one, but while using the black one, which is larger, I slipped and caught the knuckle on my thumb and took a large slice right out of it. For this reason I would urge caution while you learn to use them comfortably. My husband pointed out that he can't really trust me not to cut myself with ANY sharp instrument so he's not so sure the peeler was the true culprit. He finished peeling the potatoes with no resulting injuries so it may, in fact, be user error! Still, I urge caution.

I LOVE these peelers! They are very lightweight and easy to hold. While peeling vegetables you do not waste any because of how thing the peels are! I have a few high end peelers that I will not use because of the amount of waste they cause. I also absolutely love that you use the handle to clean out the center of a cantaloupe! So much less waste yet again! It is so much fun for my kids to use these peelers and make the vegetables into different shapes while making salads. They eat much more salad because they get to help and choose between the different peelers. These peelers make the mundane task of peeping fruits and vegetables fun because of how easy they are to use and the different types of shapes you can choose from!

PROS: very comfortable to use, they are colorful (look nice in the kitchen), and small for easy storage. I peeled a large cucumber in seconds, it was actually fun! The variety of blades make it a versatile tool for adding some impressive gourmet touches to your dishes. I made really pretty and easy, thin sliced red onion for a salad and beautiful carrot shreds. Fast & easy. They washed up beautifully top rack of dishwasher.CONS: minor, but I'm going to mention anyway. The instructions could be a little larger and maybe mention each color of peeler and what it does. I tried "peeling" cabbage, used every blade, and gave up and went back to a knife. The extra bonus spiral thingy looks like fun in the video, but I tried it every which way but loose, and no pretty spiral potatoes for me. Maybe the handsome ORIGINAL Magic Trio Peeler Slicers Shredder dude could do a slower section in the video and show us how to use it, step by step? I won't give up though; one day I will have lovely spiral potatoes!Overall, a good value for the price. Very handy, and I love the size. I think with more practice, I will be making all kinds of pretty slices and shreds, especially for salads. And, they don't take up a lot of space. I love them!

This potato peeler takes off a lot of vegetable and the serrated edge means lots of juice drips everywhere and you have a strange rough finish on the edge of your vegetable. I do have two other potato peelers. I tested all three against each other. Using a large carrot I used each peeler 5 times in the same spot down the whole carrot. And then used another part of the carrot for the other peelers. This black peeler took off 16 grams of carrot. My old-fashioned traditional peeler took off 10 grams. And another y-shaped peeler with a smooth edge took off 2 grams, which was too little and inefficient. Since it digs in so deeply to the vegetable there is a lot of resistance as you try to pull it through the vegetable skin. The julienne peeler does not work at all as you can see in the picture. The blade barely touches the vegetable but the julienne blade digs in and makes a mess. The vegetable spiralizer is nice but difficult to use because potatoes are hard and once you peel them they're slippery and the juice goes everywhere but the finished product is worth the effort and mess. Once you get the hang of it you can spiralize your potatoes and then slice down through to make even sliced potatoes and it also works on apples for apple pie.

Having a toddler means endlessly cutting fruits & veggies into 'fun' and new shapes. My old veggie peeler wasn't very helpful, so I decided to purchase these. Right out of the box, they're incredibly sharp and easy to use. The hollow handles are excellent for getting and maintaining my grip (especially when working with wet foods). The added scoops are so smart, you don't have to grab an extra spoon to scoop out seeds while working.With very minimal trial & error, I've been able to making lots of fun fruit & veggie cuts for my toddler. She really loves things cut with the spiral slicer, which is so easy and fast to use.I also find that I have far less food waste when working with these peelers. Because they are so sharp, it gets the thin fruit & veggies skins off without taking any of the good part!

These were delivered, yesterday. I was definitely hoping they would be as advertised, but was very disappointed to see a couple of spots of rust on the blades on the blue one. I washed it, anyway, and attempted to peel a butternut squash. I usually use my old peeler, and was hoping that these would be nicer to work with, but I cut my thumb as the blade didn't grab the skin well, and slid off onto my holding hand. It took a gouge out of my thumbnail into the bed of the thumbnail. After I cleaned up, I tried using the handle to scoop out the seeds. It didn't work at all. I guess I'm keeping my old peeler, and will use a large spoon to scoop seeds like I always have. Disappointed, but moving on. These are not quality made.

These little kitchen tools are awesome.v
