Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this item to replace a plastic version of the pineapple slicer. The handle of my original slicer broke after about three years use. The stainless steel version uses the same handle, so it is probably the weakest item of the slicer and may also break in the future. The stainless steel slicer requires much less force than the plastic version to cut through the pineapple. However the center coring portion of the stainless steel version is so sharp, it doesn't necessarily follow the core of the pineapple to the bottom of the pineapple. The plastic version always centered on the pineapple core. The stainless steel slicer produces thicker slices, which is a plus. However I was disappointed to find the diameter of the steel slicer smaller than that of the plastic version. This results in useable pineapple not being removed from the shell of the pineapple. I would have preferred having the steel slicer cut at the same diameter as the plastic version. In summary, the Pineapple Easy Slicer Stainless Steel is a useful tool for coring and slicing fresh pineapple. It could have been even better if the diameter of the pineapple slicer were the same as that of the plastic version.
