Monkey Peeler

I bought a bunch of these for grab bag Christmas gifts. I thought they were funny looking and a good laugh but this is also a good peeler. The blade is very sharp and it is very easy to hold in your hand. Doesn't slip. Also easy to clean. Good strong plastic handle. So this is both a funny joke and useful as well....I laugh every time I see it in the drawer.

I purchased this item years ago at Pier 1. Recently found on Amazon and purchased one for my mother. We both love it. Very ergonomic vegetable peeler.

I have a black OXO peeler that works great but that I can never find in the drawer because of its color. I went through a phase a few years ago where I really liked novelty kitchen utensils, and had this saved to a list from then. As I was cleaning up and updating my lists, I saw it and it's bright color and realized this would end my constant before-work rush to find the peeler as I prepared some food to take with me to work. I ordered it and was really happily surprised with the quality of it. It peels really nicely and is actually very comfortable to hold. I just pop him in the washer and toss him in the drawer, and he always stands out when it's time to peel before work! I really like this peeler more than I expected to-- it peels every bit as well as my OXO peeler, but is so much easier to locate.

Not only is it adorable, it works so well. I received it as a gift years ago and recently bought a second so my 5 year old can peel veggies with me. Very kids friendly! (While supervised, of course! 😉)

So my girlfriend told me to get this peeler because it was cute. I figured hey, it's a Y peeler, it's pretty fun looking, looks ergonomic enough, what could go wrong? Well the order was placed, tracking page refreshed in accordingly frequent intervals and the awaited package arrived. Pulling out the peeler, hey it's pretty comfy to hold, not bad! Too bad I didn't have anything to test it with immediately. Fast forward a couple of days and behold, I have some potatoes I need peeled. Well good a time as any to pull out the monkey peeler. Here I discovered something, for smaller potatoes this thing was wonderful, skin came right off, it was comfortable to hold, yadda yadda yadda. Then I got to a giant steroid filled ameripotatoe, the thing was huge! It was wider than the peeler on one of the flat sides and here I discovered a fatal flow of the peeler. The monkey's hands which hold the peeler blade prevent the peeler blade from actually making contact with the potato. Another instance where I tried to peel an acorn squash (I know the skin is somewhat stiff) I ran into the same problem, and finally I hit a final roadblock where something I was trying to peel (I forgot what) pulled the peeler blade out. Luckily I just snapped the blade back in and went back to working as normal. So overall it's a pretty good peeler but it has problems handling large potatoes and other larger things that need to be peeled. Pros: > cute > pretty comfortable grip > girlfriend likes it > peels just about anything Cons: > peeler blade isn't as secure as I would like it to be > can't peel very large items overall: Good peeler and comfortable grip but don't try to use it on large things.

This is the best vegetable peeler I’ve ever used. My chef husband agrees. I purchased this from bed bath and beyond about 6 years ago and use it very frequently, it’s still super sharp. I bought this one to give as a favorite thing for a gift exchange this year. He’s my best friend.

Bought for my Dad. He loves it, says it is the best peeler he owns the handle is easy to grip and hold on to. It is very sharp and peels easily. Super easy to clean.

i have bought several of these for my family and as gifts. have not had one break yet and its been years now. this pivots very easily on curved surfaces cutting kitchen preparation in time by a fraction. great for all sorts of veggies! very nice and sharp. Very safe to handle. This is a superior product that is well worth the price. I have bought other peelers that were supposed to be great but this one is so simple and functions exactly as intended.

My misses was over the moon with her peeler ... (NO she really was). Its actually nice to use.

You can’t not love it😍

This is the best peeler I’ve ever used. I already had one and ordered this for my mom. She was still using an old and junky metal peeler from like the 80s. She now enjoys peeling carrots and potatoes. It’s sort of life-changing!

I bought this as a replacement for the one we already had which was exactly the same. We’d had it for years and the dishwasher finally got the better of it. This is so easy to use and I like how it fits in my hand compared with others. It stays sharp and peels very well. It’s also safe as the handle is long so very difficult to cut yourself with it

monke The only bad thing I have to say is that the eyes sometimes fall out. Otherwise great product
