I have been wanting one of these for a long time, and as soon as I ordered it I went out and bought a bunch of apples and had so much fun. It really encouraged me to add to my 5+ a day (in apples at least) as I enjoyed playing with it so much. I think this would be a really good way to get your kids to eat their apples. The only vice is that it is a bit of a pain to clean every time. Otherwise the juice gets all sticky and unhygenic if you leave it until next time. Also, the “suction base” that it mentions on the box did nothing even when I followed the instructions so I have to hold the machine down to use it.

So I finally received this and let me tell you how fun and easy it is. All you have to do is stick the apple on, and crank the handle! I've never been a fruit fan, but because of the cool spiral shape, I'm actually enjoying peeling the apples with it and eating them. Also, it's possible to use it just as a peeler without coring the item too. I've used it to peel potatoes which makes it easy!

Awesome product, very happy!
