 Buy the standard OXO Y PeelerJun 01, 2008
By E. Michels
Do not buy the i-Series - buy the standard Oxo Good Grips Y Peeler instead. I have both and originally thought "If the standard works this well, the i-series must be incredible" based on the reviews. However, the standard Y-Peeler works much better. The issue with the i-series seems to be that the little nub that keeps the blade from spinning is set ever so slightly too large, which keeps the blade from swiveling far enough to provide a comfortable angle to the vegetable when peeling. Despite the marketing hype, I also find no difference between the blades on the two OXO offerings.

 Worth every pennyJul 16, 2004
By Grace Doll
You get what you pay for, but ten dollars is a small investment for such a useful kitchen tool. Make the investment - you won't regret it, and will wonder why you waited so long. I'd been using a cheap peeler that came in a set of kitchen tools and found peeling potatoes painful, difficult, and time-consuming. What a world of difference with the Oxo peeler! It makes quick, easy, and effortless work out of peeling potatoes, even sweet potatoes, which are more difficult to peel. The blade is extremely sharp and glides over the vegetable with ease, removing the perfect amount of peel. Try it on a mango - you'll be amazed at how perfectly it peels off the skin without wasting any of the flesh of the fruit. I've also used it to peel carrots, broccoli, zucchini, apples, butternut squash, all with success. However, I plan to also purchase the swivel peeler, which is more appropriate for items such as carrots.

A pleasure to use -- worthwhile kitchen tool investmentFeb 14, 2004
By A. Ryan

I bought this just before Christmas so that I could make sweet potatoes from scratch. My conventional straight peeler just wasn't doing the job anymore, and it was time for a change. So I took the advice of tv chef/author Alton Brown and hunted up this Y peeler for my potato and apple peeling needs. It looks like I made a wise purchase.I don't know how this works, but the Y shape design on a peeler seems more comfortable for this task. The handle is made of Oxo's typical "good grips" material, so it was comfortable and didn't slip. The blade holder part, which has a little divot scoop for removing the eyes, appears to be high quality cast aluminum or stainless. Every part fits together seamlessly. The blade is set in snugly and cut smoothly though the potato skins, at just the right depth. It was a pleasure to use such a handsome and well-designed tool. I understand that this type of peeler may not be ideal for peeling thinner skinned items like carrots, so it seems I will be looking up Oxo's straight peeler now. This one however is probably the last potato peeler I will ever need to buy.

The Bruce Springsteen of Vegetable PeelersJan 30, 2012

You should throw out the vegetable peeler that's in your kitchen RIGHT NOW, unless it is the Oxo Pro-Y Peeler. Actually, you should throw out everything in your kitchen. You totally do not need half the crap above the refrigerator. Just saying. Look, I'm not here to tell you what to do. I am here to tell you how BOSS this vegetable peeler is.
This thing will peel the living crap out of any vegetable. I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to find a vegetable this peeler cannot peel. YOU WILL NOT FIND IT I PROMISE YOU. Potatoes? Yes. Beets? Yes. Butternut squash? No problem. Carrots? Pshah whatever, buddy, that is a snoozefest for this CRAZY CANDYASS VEGETABLE PEELER. I'm sure it could peel your face but it doesn't matter because this CHAMPION peeler will MELT YOUR FACE OFF with its SHEER POWA.
I love this thing, but it does have some drawbacks:
1. It cannot peel wood.
OK that's it.
It has a little scoop for scooping out cucumbers, if for some reason you don't have access to a spoon or fork or your fingers.
It has a nice rubber grip so when you are peeling something you really feel the POWA and don't slip like some vegetable peeling newbie.
Amazon shouldn't even bother selling anything else. When you log in to Amazon you should have only two options: To buy this peeler or to put it on your wishlist.
