PrepWorks Dishwasher Safe Apple Slicer and Corer – 16-Slice Thin Apple Cutter with Safety Cover

OK so first of all, this is a great apple slicer, esp since the slices are thin, makes for an easy nosh.It's plenty sharp and so far the sharp has held up.Now the funny part is all the 1-star reviews saying "it doesn't work!" Obviously these are people who didn't look at the pix or the videos and aren't using it correctly. You CANNOT squeeze an apple between the bottom plate and the cutter. You'd have to have a pretty small apple in the first place, and the blades need to face downward so cutting on that angle would be tough. So silly:you open it up, get the bottom piece out of the way. Put it on top of the apple, centered on the core. Press down (yes it takes a little effort, put your weight behind it if you need to, but it's sharp enough it will go through the apple-most of the way). Then you flip the bottom part around underneath the apple and finish pushing through - that bottom part is what makes the apple slices finish and separate. throw out the core and you'be got 16 slices of apple.Clean up is easy - dishwasher safe or just a brush in the sink. just be careful, it's sharp.it seems like it would work on other things - several people say it's good for onions, making a 'bloom." i am going to try pears - not super hard ones of course. might work on oranges and other citrus, but probably messy and the core part would make it worse. but anything that's similar in density as an apple an has a core should work.for the price it's a no brainer, if you like apples you will eat more of them.

Love this apple slicer! It cores and cuts an appleInto 16 thin, even slices in seconds. And it’s so easy to use. It’s perfect for slicing apples for my little grandson. Yes, I can use a knife to slice apples, but this does it so much faster.There are a few things to keep in mind when using this. Although it’s quite large, you do need to pay attention to the size of the apples when you’re shopping to make sure they’re not too big. Also, look for apples that aren’t lopsided. They won’t cut as nicely.When cutting, the big sturdy handles give it a solid grip. At first I wasn’t sure about the bottom plate, but it’s there to make it easier to cut all the way through the apple. Don’t get an apple slicer without it.Overall, I’m very happy with this slicer. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and a good value for the money.

I don't know where this has been all of my life but you had me at SIXTEEN SLICES!!! It works perfectly and it's heavy duty and easy to use all while not being too heavy! The slices are the perfect size and I absolutely love it. It's really well made I expect I'll have it forever.

I love this. It really works to cut your apple & detach the pieces from the core. I bought a couple of 16-slice apple slicers elsewhere, but they didn't have the device on the bottom that pushes the apple away from the core, so they still remain attached at their base after you've slice the apple.I do wish the base piece was not attached to the slicer, as I have to dirty a cutting board to start slicing the apple, & then flip over the base to finish. If it were detached & just snapped in place on the bottom of the slicer (like a blade protector) it would not require using another item to partially slice the apple first. You could use the base as a cutting board.Usually I just slice apples for eating & I like the thinner slices. But this also comes in handy if you're making an apple pie, tart or slicing apples for apple bread. Simply peel the apple before starting. This helps to make slicing much quicker & it creates nice, even slices. I even use it for adding apple to my grilled cheese sandwiches. I'll make grilled cheese as I normally do, but add thin slices of apple on top of the cheese before grilling. The apple slices warm while cooking & it's a wonderful flavor combination.Also, the other two slicers I bough are quite a bit wider, by about an inch. Having a wider cutter would be helpful when slicing larger apples, so I'd suggest that the manufacturer enlarge the slicer, as well as detach the base from the slicer. It is a good price & it works well otherwise. I'd recommend this to others since it works so well. This could also work for pears.

This apple cutter makes little thin slices of apple that are perfect for dipping. I like that it has a blade guard so you don't accidentally cut your hand when digging around for it in the kitchen. The handles are sturdy and feel like they could survive the force of cutting 100+ apples with no trouble. My only issue is that it didn't cut through the apple all the way and did require a bit of force to get it all the way through, but honestly it kind of works for me since I like to keep the slices attached to the apple so it stays fresher. It was cheap, it was effective, and I would buy it again.

This is the best "gadget" I've gotten in a long time. The slices are perfect for dipping in peanut butter! My grandkids love fruit, and these slices are perfect for the kids and for me as well. It's easy to use and easy to clean afterwards. What a great time saver!

Love this slicer/corer. Slices are just right for eating and it's easy to clean! I have both sizes and they fit the bill!

I have one of these without the extra piece to use after your initial cut. This one is so much better and I like the smaller pieces as well. Great upgrade.
