Apple Slicer and Corer, Stainless Steel Ultra-Sharp Apple Cutter, Pitter, Divider, Corer, Slicer [FreeApple E-Book Recipe]

I bought this for my mom because she had a tarnished one that was ages old. She lives next door so I get to see what her needs are. Being in her 80s and me being in my late 50s, we don't have the strength that we used to. When it arrived, I ran it over to her and sliced a couple of apples. That slicer went through so quickly and easily; I couldn't believe it. Why? Because of the rubber grip on the handles and because of the simple ergonomic design. So, if this one was better than the one I got for over $12, why is it so inexpensive? I'm buying it again for my work. I need an apple quickly, and this is sooo easy. I can see my students being able to use it also.

I have been using this product now for about 2 months of almost daily use. Before this I was cutting my apples with a knife like a peasant. So much careful slicing here and then there followed by meticulous cleaning of my fancy knives. God forbid they stay wet for too long. Now, it is an easy and swift process. Plop the apple down, jam this guy on top, push down hard, and voila: sliced apples with the core ready for compost. Then, just a quick rinse and pretty much good as new. I would highly recommend this product.

It's a well made and well-priced apple slicer. I have used it for a few weeks now on both small and large apples, which I frequently eat for breakfasts. (I swear, apples just taste better when sliced.) It does take a bit of muscle power to cut through the apple, but this is not unique to the West Ox apple slicer. I have another slicer from a popular brand that also takes a bit of work to push it completely through the apple. Overall, it's a good slicer that's easy to clean at a good value. I recommend it.

Easy to use. Toss in the dishwasher. I used it on an apple and an orange and it works great.

Loving The Apple Slicer I'm just loving this apple slicer because it's incredibly sharp and easy to use. I've tried apple slicer in the past and they just weren't worth the effort. This one is different. Also I feel it's saving my time and money. It's a really high quality product and again, I am willing to pay more for it to work correctly and save me money over time. I really recommend it.

Got this slicer to replace an old, dull version of a similar product. I had a 20# box of apples purchased from the orchard to process and didn't want to deal with a dull slicer. This one is super sharp and works like a charm. By the time the last of the apples was sliced, the slicer was not quite as sharp obviously and took a little more pressure to get through. Still works quite adequately for occasional use. If I buy a 20# box of apples again next fall, I'll probably spring for a new, sharp slicer. Well worth the replacement cost.

Good value but the unit is too short for a good cut. The unit needs to be perhaps 2 inches taller for a clean cut of the entire apple and a separation of all of the core and pieces.

I actually don't know why someone wouldn't buy this product. We juice, so I cut 3 apples and 2 pears every day. The West Ox Apple Slicer makes this fast and easy. The slices are the perfect size to fit down the juicer. Also, perfect for apple slices with some peanut butter or pear. Added bonus, my kids can cut their own slices without having to use a knife. Work smarter not harder!
