Mainstays 8-Wedge Stainless Steel Apple Slicer and Corer, Black

The handles are thick and I have no worries I will slip when using it. Easy to wash. Extra large apples require some elbow grease. With tiny apples it will waste fruit due to the size of the corer in the middle. For normal sized apples it is convenient. If you need to cut a lot of apples for baking, meal prep, etc it will save you time.

High quality steel with safety grip handles easily cores and slices apples in one easy downward motion yeilding 8 perfect slices and cleans up easily.Replacing crackers with apple slices topped with peanut butter,cheese,guacamole or cinnamon adds a serving of fruit to snacks.Easily slicing apples for frying or baking in rustic tart or dipping in caramel sauce is convenient affordable and fun.Cores are perfect for bird or squirrel feeders.

I like how the handle isn't flush to the cutter so you don't have to worry about smashing your fingers when you press down. Only thing is it doesn't always cut the apple the whole way through so I have to pull it out, but wasn't looking for absolute perfection.

Works perfectly. Seems well built and sturdy enough to last awhile. It cuts through apples without much effort. The handles are great since they also prevent any cut fruit from falling out. So glad I purchased, I am using it every day and only wish I bought it sooner.

If you have apples that need to be in small even pieces, this is your tool. Place the apple upright. Grasp both handles, place atop the apple, press down hard. OSHA safety rules should be followed carefully.

This works like a charm. I have a more expensive one that I struggled with because the handles were small. Pressing down hurt my hands. But this has large handles so coring %26 cutting the apples is easy. Even large Granny Smith apples were easy.

I like this one better than the other I bought but will return. This one is bigger %26 gives me more leverage %26 seems sharper. It goes right through the apple %26 the core doesn't get stuck.

This is the first time I haven't bought the "cheapest" apple corer. I finally decided I was tired of replacing them, and this is well worth a little extra. The grip gives more leverage and the size easily pushes through more easily and doesn't give.

There is no problem with the apple slicer other than it is just too small. I tried to use it with Honey Crisp apples but the apples are just so big that the slicer got stuck at the top of the apple, I had to use a knife to finish cutting. They need to make these bigger. Maybe apples have just gotten larger over the years.

As others have stated, the item does NOT slice completely through the apple and the core remains stuck, so you need to push it thru without cutting yourself. Them corer is large enough for even a large apple, so no problem there. If you plan to use it often, don't buy it, but for occasional use it's OK.
