The PrepWorks by Progressive Dishwasher Safe 8-Slice Apple Slicer and Corer is a kitchen gadget designed to make slicing apples and pears not only quick but also safe. With its innovative wedge design, this tool allows you to cut fruit into eight neat pieces in just three simple steps. The attached safety cover adds an extra layer of protection for your fingers during use and ensures the blades remain sharp when stored.
Awesome tool! The flip thing finishes pushing the apple through. No more cutting my fingers.
I used to cut up my apples into quarters every day and pare out the core on the 4 sections. It was never a chore, but this thing is wonderful! One quick push down, flip up the bottom to complete the cut and DONE. It cuts a very narrow core, so you don't lose good apple. A quick run under water and it's clean. I've been using it daily for about 6 months and it's still sharp. The handles are strong and keep fingers safe. The only very minor point is that it doesn't sit flat in a drawer, but that's no issue for me since I basically never put it away.
Does the job well.
Pros:Ergonomic design: Large handles make it safer and easier to press down harder when slicingGood quality: well sharpened blades, quality chrome plating that hasn't rusted yet (as opposed to cheaper ones we've bought)Extra feature: The base that pops out the slices works very well and makes this better than others of the same qualityCons:The green color may not match your kitchen?This by far the best apple slicer/corer I've used to date. Not that any apple slicer is something to write home about... but the addition of the bottom tray that pops out the slices is a wonderful addition. Rather than gingerly popping out the individual pieces and risking cutting your thumbs or fingers, you just swing the bottom tray shut and "pop!" all the slice are neatly finished off. Again, not that a regular slicer isn't a great tool already, but if you have to buy a new one anyway this little addition puts this slicer over the top.The materials of this slicer are of great quality. Can little apple pieces get wedged in the cracks? Sure, but they can in any slicer I've ever used, and the fit and finish of this one is better so that becomes less likely. There are no little rust spots in the cracks after multiple dishwasher cleanings as is the case with the cheap ones we've bought.
I love this slicer - I use it daily. The blades still cut nicely, and I appreciate the "lid" that pops the pieces out. I do make sure I use a soft scrub pad to clean the blades immediately after use, and I position it to drain well, so I take good care of it.The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I wish the handles had a gripping material on them.
Works great. Protective attached cap is nice.
Had this for about a year now. Good quality. It feels thick and durable. My kids can use it. Very happy with it.
