Worth every penny

From reading some of the reviews, I was skeptical. When you pull it from the box, it is light and mostly plastic. You see the made in China sticker and you think- this thing probably cost $2 to make and I just paid $40? I clamped it to the corner of a sturdy table outside. The clamp could have been engineered better. A regular c-clamp can work better. I cut the top off the carrots and ran one through. I was amazed. It worked excellent. It removes more skin than you would if you did it with a hand peeler, but it is 20 to 100 times faster. About one in 20 of the carrots I pealed were too large for the hole in the top. I would have given it 5 stars if the hole was 1/2 in larger. I hand pealed the top section so it would fit. I put down a 4' by 4' plastic sheet for the peelings to fall on. Using the plunger guide is a pain. With the tops cut flat, I was able to place the plunger in the middle of the carrot and plunge it through without the guide piece. If you need to peel many carrots, get one of these.
