- Swivel peeler offers superior control when peeling delicate fruits and hearty vegetables
- Constructed of sturdy, die-cast zinc; extra-hardened stainless-steel blade stays sharp
- Non-slip, contoured handle with extra cushioning for ergonomic grip
- Sharp eyer easily removes blemishes in one scoop
- Dishwasher safe; replaceable blade available
A peeler's only as good as its blade, right? So OXO, with its clever design team, developed a blade that can always be sharp. Not only is the cutting edge on their extra long stainless blade precision ground, like a fine knife, for a sharper edge, it's also replaceable. And of course you get the non-slip comfy grip you expect from an OXO tool.

| Before we had this, we were peeling with a paring knife; this was a huge improvement. The big handle makes it comfortable to hold and it peels all kinds of vegetables perfectly. The tip (to removed eyes from potatoes and the like) isn't as sharp as I'd like, but I suppose that makes it safer. |

I bought this peeler when my old one died in my arms and I have to bury it in my backyard with tears in my eyes and a feeling that I will never be able to find the right peeler again that would be so easy on hands. Then I found Oxo peeler at and read all the reviews. I was thrown with one of the most interesting problem since Einstein solved the relativity problem, pay little bit more for Oxo or get a $5-$6 peeler.
I am glad that I made this decision to buy Oxo, it was super nice on hands (grip is awesome). Peeling strokes are smooth, balance is just right. No more tears as this peeler is robust!
Highly recommended! |
| I thought my four-year-old Zyliss Swivel Peeler was great...then I met the OXO Good Grips I-Series Swivel Peeler | 2010-04-03 | 5 / 5 |

After seeing a review on peelers on America's Test Kitchen in 2006, I went on to purchase the top rated OXO peeler. However, I'm a fan of Zyliss products and after reading comparable and high reviews on about the Zyliss, I decided to skip the OXO peeler in favor of the Zyliss because back then, the Zyliss Swivel Peeler went for $5.99 and the OXO was twice the price. I was happy with the Zyliss until I recently noticed a pain in my left wrist (I'm right-handed so my pain is in the hand that holds the fruit/vegetable).
I saw the price drop at Target on the OXO peeler, but the new model was made of plastic so I went on to see if the i-series metal version was still available (I didn't want to purchase the plastic model). After getting the e-mail 4-for-3 promo from , I decided to finally take the plunge and purchase the OXO i-series. At almost double the price of my Zyliss angled swivel peeler from 4 years ago, I'm glad I forked over the $11.99 for this OXO peeler. I cannot describe what a difference it was to use the i-series OXO peeler.
I quickly peeled carrots with the i-Series OXO, a task that was a waste of time with the Zyliss Angled Swivel Peeler. With the Zyliss, the carrot peel would get caught up in the blade and it only removed a small skinny strip of carrot at a time. With the i-Series OXO, the blade smoothly glided down the carrot removing a large strip at a time.
I mindlessly and quickly peeled several potatoes with a lot of ease and absolutely no pain in my left wrist. Then I decided to pull out my Zyliss to compare the feel and a bit of pain was felt in my left wrist after a few seconds. I couldn't figure out what the issue was (I think it might be because the Zyliss peeler is angled, or maybe it's just simple sharpness of the blade) as I switched back and forth between the Zyliss and the i-Series OXO, but I know the i-Series OXO felt nicer to use.
My only qualm with the OXO is that I have to turn my wrist or flip the peeler over in order to use the eye remover. I'm used to flicking at the eye away from me and the Zyliss was designed to continue to reinforce this preference. When I am gripping the i-Series OXO, in order to remove the eye without switching my wrist position or the peeler's position in my hand, I have to dig at the potato inwards towards my body. The Zyliss made removing the eye much easier since the eye remover faces away from the blade already. I don't know if a lot of other people prefer this functionality or not, but maybe if they do, OXO might consider changing this aspect of the peeler. If they do, I will obviously be purchasing another peeler from OXO! I should have trusted America's Test Kitchen from the beginning.
Note: The Zyliss Swivel Peeler I have used was angled. This model has now been discontinued. I have not used Zyliss' new Smoothglide Peeler so I cannot determine if the newer model (not angled) resolves my pain issue or not. |
| Finally - a comfortable handle! | 2010-03-19 | 5 / 5 |

| I own an assortment of peelers, and have tried several others at friends' homes. While most do a good job of peeling, handle comfort has always been somewhat elusive. Well, if you want the ultimate in comfort, look no further. This is fantastic - sharp as can be, plus the handle lets you work with ease even if you have arthritic hands. Even my 88 year old mom found it to be comfortable! |
