What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Johnny Apple Peeler for its exceptional ease of use and time saving reliability. It transforms the tedious task of preparing apples into a quick, enjoyable process, making large batch cooking or canning significantly simpler. The overall quality of the metal construction is highly rated, confirming its durability as a reliable kitchen tool. While the operation is generally flawless, some users note that the suction base requires a very smooth, clean surface to maintain a secure grip, which is the primary point of friction in an otherwise excellent experience.
Know before you buy
The suction base is designed specifically for smooth, non-porous surfaces like granite, marble, or finished laminate. It will not hold securely on textured countertops, wood, or tile with deep grout lines.
Yes, the peeler is also effective for potatoes. While it is optimized for the shape and size of apples, the spring-loaded arm allows it to handle similarly sized, firm produce.
Yes. The coring and slicing blade is removable, allowing you to use the tool solely for peeling if you prefer to keep the apple whole.
The peeler features an adjustable blade assembly. You can manually calibrate the blade's depth to achieve a thinner or thicker peel depending on your preference or the condition of the apple skin.
Because the body is made of cast iron, it is important to hand wash and dry the unit thoroughly after each use. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher to prevent oxidation and maintain the integrity of the metal.
