Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express - Electric Peeler
Customer Review: Cheaply made version of the original peeler
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Rotato to replace my old electric peeler that finally died. I needed to peel a large stack of potatoes for Thanksgiving, and thought I had it made when I remembered the Rotato sitting in the pantry, unused since receiving it earlier this year. What I pulled out of the box was a lightweight plastic ghost of the old peeler. The blade could not grab hold of the potato skin, just skipped along making nicks until it reached the bottom and turned itself off. I tried it on dry and wet potatoes. I'm envious of those reviewers who had good luck with their peelers; I could not get mine to work.Customer Review: It broke in no time
Summary: 1 Stars
The idea of a mechanical potato peeler seemed wonderful. I peeled apples with it also, but in no time this cute little gadget broke. To begin with, when I tried to use the transformer plugged into house current it would not work: It would only work with the batteries. I would have been happy to just use the batteries, but my joy did not last. In less than 3 weeks of sporadic use it gave up the ghost. The bottom line: if it looks flimsy, it probably is flimsy, so it won't last long. I gave it one star, in recognition of the 7 or 8 times of joyful use it gave me.Customer Review: love it

I ordered this peeler thinking it was a curley fry maker. Of course I was dissapointed when it arrived and I found out all it did was peel stuff.
I agree w/ another reviewer who said it was cheaply made however this thing rocks when it comes to peeling potatoes, apples etc. I am so happy I accidently ordered it. I saw today where I could order new blades. While it doesnt seems to need them yet I'm going to keep a few on hand. Also, you can pop a few "c" batteries in it and take it camping w/ you.
Customer Review: great machine
Summary: 5 Stars
My son & I prepare 250 pounds of Gravenstein apples for applesauce each year. We couldn't do it without this machine. We know that it was created for home use, not commercial use, so it probably wasn't intended for such intense use. Therefore, we run it for 15 minutes then let it cool for 15 minutes so the motor doesn't overheat. We just finished this year's batch, running it this way for three days at five or so hours each day, and it was terrific.Customer Review: Great for the Holidays

I bought this the week before Thanksgiving. My sister was pestering me because it was taking too long for us to finally eat on Thanksgiving.. I figured since I normally hand peel 20lbs of potatoes.. maybe this would help..
IT WORKED FLAWLESSLY!! I am sooo happy with this purchase.. I probably will only use it for Thanksgiving and Christmas but it was worth EVERY PENNY!!
