Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kyocera CP-20 RD Perfect Peeler, Red
Customer Review: Incredible customer service for a great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't praise this product enough, as it is hands-down the sharpest and most convenient peeler I've ever owned. I was surprised that some reviewers felt that this wasn't the sharpest blade around. I've never used or seen anything remotely close to it.
I vaguely remember a reviewer saying that theirs broke, but didn't give it another thought until last night when mine broke too. I just called Kyocera, all it took was a quick internet search to find info about their 5 year warranty. Within three minutes they had taken my address to ship a new peeler......and never even asked me to prove my purchase. When I commented on that, the rep said "we trust you". So my replacement is to arrive later this week. Wow.
If it breaks once in a while, but Kyocera will replace it so easily, I'll keep on reaping praise.
FYI - Kyocera's customer service number for US and Canada is 888-700-7371
Customer Review: Great Example of Ceramic Superiority
Summary: 4 Stars
The benefits to this peeler over a standard peeler are two-fold: superior blade and ergonomic design.
Pros:
Adjustable head angle -- this is great for doing large projects and switching between hands.
Ergonomic design -- in addition to the adjustable head, the soft grip and thumb-crook at the neck make this peeler easy on the hands
Ceramic blade -- I have always been a fan of ceramic blades (despite their purported fragility). This one does not disappoint and I have yet to break it.
Cons:
No potato eye remover
Dialing action of the adjustable head feels as thought it *may* wear down. It hasn't, and I haven't heard anyone else complain of this, I'm just sayin.
Red is the only color available. It doesn't clash with my kitchen, but I could see some people being disappointed in this
Customer Review: BEST GADGET!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT GADGET!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! STAYS VERY SHARP AND POSITION OF BLADE IS ADJUSTABLE TO USE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES.
I purchased this peeler approx. 3 years ago and until yesterday when it broke, it was the best peeler I ever owned!!! I think that I more than got my money's worth with the 3 years I used it. I am ordering another one today as well as the "straight, vertical one." I have been looking for a 2nd one of these(before mine broke) and could not find it in any of the major cookware stores(Sur La Table, William Sonoma. Bed Bath & Beyond, and Macy's)do not carry it.
If you are worried about the tiny plastic pieces that hold the blade, breaking, than order the vertical one. It is made differently.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ONCE YOU USE A CERAMIC BLADE PEELER. JUST WATCH YOUR FINGERS!!!!
Customer Review: Great for home use.. not so much for commercial use.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this peeler for about 2 months now and while I had it, it was a great peeler. Peels through the skin of a sweet potato no problem and it doesn't take off too much which is great for asparagus.
However, through more and more use peeling many potatoes and asparagus, i've noticed the swivel head does not lock on anymore so while i'm peeling a potato the blade rotates which is a nuisance. Now my blade seems to have broke and there are little chips in the blade. It still peels but it barely takes anything off and the width of which it peels has been reduced. I've had the blade come off of the peeler but I could put it back in and haven't broken the hinges that connect the blade to the peeler itself.
All in all, great tool but expensive for a commercial style peeler that will now be used as a paper weight sadly.
Customer Review: LOVE PEELING POTATOES WITH MY KYOCERA PEELER
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever wished you could peel a potato like they do on these reality cooking shows on television? Well I did, and now I know the great world these chefs live in, pertaining to potato peeling. This peeler glides through, even the toughest, skin of the potato either pulling the peeler towards you or left or right hand peeling. This thing is great, I have wanted a better peeler, in view of the fact my peeler is old and dull. Well I bought the best darned vegetable peeler I could ever imagine. I find myself trying to create situations where I need to use my Kyocera kitchen tools and knives preparing foods.
I not only recommend this ceramic peeler I also recommend all my Kyocera knives, guillotines, and peelers.
The prices are a little high but you definitely get what you pay for.
