Oxo Good Grips Apple Corer and Divider

very convienent. Even using it for slicing Guava.

I almost cut my finger. One can easily forget which side is the cutting edge. Design can be improved.

I spent an inordinate amount of time researching apple slicers and took a chance on the Oxo model.It’s very well made and a good size which means it should accommodate a wide range of apple sizes.The blades are sharp and, whilst a bit of pressure is required to slice through the apple, it does the job perfectly.Some reviews have mentioned apple slicers not cutting the whole apple, however in my first 3 attempts, this model sliced all the way through the apple.The handles are raised which helps to ensure you don’t cut your fingers and makes it easier to press down without hurting your fingers.It’s worth noting that other products have left users with nasty cuts due to the blades detaching from the outer frame. This model uses metal blades which are moulded into hard plastic (as opposed to the other 100% stainless steel models) therefore I think there is less risk of this occurring.If you’re looking for a reasonably priced apple slicer, this one is ideal.

This is an excellent product. It does exactly what it says it will, cut apples quickly and cleanly into equal sizes. This year, we have the largest glut of apples ever so am venturing into cider making. On Sunday, my son and I got into a little routine and were chopping apples at the rate of one every 4 seconds, we did several hundred over the course of the day and it was as sharp at the end as it was at the beginning.Some commentators have said that it does not chop all the way through: this is true, the last 1mm or so keeps it altogether. This was an advantage for me as we then moved the apples into a ‘musher’ and it was easy to push the core out using thumb and all the other pieces followed.If you do need it to cut cleanly all the way through, just raise the apple slightly: by sitting it on a £1 coin.

I don’t usually bother writing reviews but felt compelled to do so in this case because the product has made my life that much easier. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t this gadget many years ago. I’d usually core and slice my fruit just using a knife, which obviously takes a bit longer. I intended to just buy a Corer, when I came across this thing that does slicing too! So thought I’d give it a go to see if it’s any good, and I’m so glad I did! I cut up and put a bunch of different fruits in Tupperware to take to work as a snack throughout the day and this slices (pun intended) the preparation time right down. I can have all my fruit prepped in 2 minutes as opposed to standing about cutting all of the fruit up and coring it individually. Would 100% recommend this product.

OXO makes great household and kitchen appliances. I always figured they only made stock cubes, for the longest time. Glad to be proven wrong though.I've used apple slicer / corers in the past, often really cheap ones coloured green or red and shaped like a generic apple, perhaps you've seen them? They all break in no time at all, the plastic eventually snaps or shatters from use. They're also not particularly nice to grip and use, they lack ergonomic handles and it often hurts your hands just applying force to the apple itself.Not so with this, the handles are really comfortable and easy to use and you can apple more force overall when using it, the whole thing is sturdy enough to go through apples like no tomorrow. It's a good item to have around your house - fruit is healthy and apples are cheap! The slices and coring just makes it more fun.

I had trouble with this one. If your apple is remotely wonky it's hard to get the slicer to slice straight down, which meant I would end up going off course and slicing through the core itself. It also doesn't slice all the way through the apple for me which gives a rather messy result. It doesn't feel unsafe to use but I do have to put some body weight into it to get it to slice. Does generally make eating apples easier and more accessible but this slicer just felt blunt and unsteady to use compared to others I've seen. I've bought a few OXO products as they always seem to rate well on amazon but I think this one missed the mark for me.
