Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Pro Y-Peeler
Customer Review: Let the peeling begin!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Oxo Good grips i-series Y peeler is a very nice product. I have the conventional swivel peeler as well, also "i-Series". I would agree with other reviews that you can certainly have a similar peeling experience with the standard Oxo peeler for a few dollars less.
This peeler far outperforms any other general store peeler I've ever owned, straight or Y shaped The i-Series is also known as the "pro" series in the Oxo line, so don't get confused, there are just two series, the standard and the i-Series.
Since I feel this peeler's only competition, from my experience, is the aforementioned standard Oxo peeler, I've tried to identify similarities and differences between these two Oxo products below.
VALUE:
If you are buying through Amazon, they frequently run "4 for 3" promotions on kitchen items so you may find you can get the i-Series, or another item for free, if you are buying three other qualifying items.
It's a simple fact that all blades dull over time. The i-Series also accepts replacement blades, whereas the standard series does not. The replacement blades are about $4.99 for a 2-pack, so it's less than buying a new peeler, and still economical if you own both the OXOi-Series straight swivel and Y peeler, as the blades fit on either i-Series peeler.
PERFORMANCE:
I would say both peelers perform about the same, although the i-Series does seem to peel away tough skin like that of an eggplant with slightly more ease.
When peeling a lot of items, multiple potatoes, eggplant, etc. I find that the i-Series is more appropriate for this task, as the handle is a bit more comfortable over time. Both peelers are comfortable, but for prolonged use, the "nubs" on the handle of the standard made that peeler just a little less comfortable.
CONSTRUCTION:
Both peelers have a stainless steel blade; both have non-slip handles, and are a similar shape and size.
The i-Series is made of die-cast zinc and weighs about 4 ounces, compared to approximately 2 ounces for the standard peeler.
The handle of the standard peeler has little nubs along both sides near the top. They weren't particularly uncomfortable, but as noted above, during prolonged use I seemed to notice them. The handle is smooth and contoured on the i-Series.
These differences are ever so slight, and it is not like the standard peeler made my hand ache or anything for prolonged, repetitive use.
In closing the performance and cost differences are not huge, so depending on your own peeling frequency, you may find it better to go with the standard.
I would say anyone needed a good quality peeler would be happy with either Oxo peeler.
