This peeler is very sharp and very effective. It was so sharp actually, that my boyfriend was able to cut off about 1/6th of his thumb. Horrifying experience spent the whole night in the hospital. It left nothing behind, they had to cauterize the wound closed.
Good at cutting oranges and thumbs
I like the OXO brand [even tho not arthritic/etc.myself] and buy for myself and others. As you can see, it has a raised 'spoke' one side to protect fingers (and works quite well). Be aware- this is NOT an ambidextrous tool- made for 'righties' (which I am). Very high quality build, and the 'blades are VERY SHARP- it comes with a semi-inconvenient plastic cover for the blades [I imagine ANYONE with 'arthritis will struggle to remove, much less reinstalling it]- this may be solely for shipping purposes however. The blades seem to hold their edge very well [using the shield]. Highly recommended! Light-years better than the ones my mum/gran' used to buy....
This is the easiest and fastest way in the world to peel potatoes. I was using a knife before but it took longer and I was losing too much of the potato itself. Thanks to the guard on this, that's not the problem. I always cut myself so I didn't like using knives because the risk is higher. Ironically, I cut myself with this because I got over confident and was peeling them so fast that I sliced a finger holding the potato when I came down too fast. I don't think that would be a problem for most people, I'm just *special*. It was user error rather than design error. It reinforced to me how sharp this actually is... it's not dull like some people say. It's a great Peeler and I would buy again. It definitely gets the job done and fast! Just don't get tooooo confident. ;)
I love it! This is the first time I ever bought a Y peeler and wasn't sure if it would be easy to use or not. This is so easy to use and so sharp! I peeled 10 apples and it was a breeze to do. The worst thing I had to do was worry that my nails would get in the way (which they don't, but this is sharp enough to nick them for sure). This gadget just removes the peel itself so almost my entire apple was intact. I could kick myself for being so lazy to not buy a peeler sooner because I can't believe how much produce I have wasted by cutting off the skin instead of using a peeler. It comes with a little plastic covering for the blades which I know I will lose :) If you want to come into the 20th century - and not be so lazy - you won't be disappointed at all in getting this peeler. It's super sharp which makes it fast, it's easy to grip and it does a fantastic job.
This must be the world's sharpest peeler. I share this as a cautionary tale! My husband sliced a portion of his finger off using this peeler and had to get his finger tip cauterized. After reviewing some other comments, the engineering team may want to take a look at this design. It's incredibly sharp and does its job, but yikes! Be careful using it.

OXO Good Grips Y Peeler
This little tool is comfortable to hold and peels the toughest peels (winter squash, rutabagas) as well as the thinnest (kiwis, potatoes) very easily. I put mine in the dishwasher and it's come out fine. I didn't want to have to hand dry a blade as sharp as this, I'd peel off my hand.....be careful. But it works really well and I'm happy I bought it.
This thing will peel anything you want it to and also anything you don't want it to. It took the tips of two of my fingers clean off! A must have for any dangerously careless home cook.
We've been using our last oxo peeler for over three years. The old one is still in great shape and I'm using that one everyday. I just wanted to buy an extra one just in case. But three years is a great life span for a peeler, and it's still going strong. Needless to say, This peeler peels great. I have never found a better peeler than an oxo peeler. I highly recommend this peeler to everybody
Comfortable grip, ergonomically designed, extremely fast and easy to use. Even handles thick skinned fruit and veg with ease. If you've never used a Y-shaped peeler before, get one, they're a huge time saver (there's a reason why professional chefs refer to them as speed peelers).
Also, in response to other reviewers. It goes without saying that cutting utensils are sharp and care with their use is required. I'm not sure it's necessary for people to point this out by showing pictures of cut fingers. Knives are sharp, ovens get hot, fire can burn, probably don't put metal in microwaves, butter knives in the toaster, or boil an empty kettle... welcome to the world of not dying in the kitchen.
Usually when a new kitchen utensil arrives through the door I panic. It's often the result of drinking copious amounts of wine and watching the late night shopping channel. I can't usually remember what the item is for or why I thought spending £24.99 on it was a good idea.
Thank goodness I ordered this peeler when I was good and sober. I was delighted when it showed up, and even more delighted when I started peeling with it. It's not often a kitchen utensil will change your life, but this one will. It makes peeling such a joy sometimes I want to just start peeling other things with it that don't even need peeling. Just because it peels so well.
Five stars OXO.
