Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I initially posted a one-star review labeled "Disappointed" because the peeler scraped the carrots I was preparing rather than peeling them in nice, long strips. Well, count me in as a mental midget -- I did not notice when I cleaned it before use, that there is a thin plastic protective strip on the blade, which obviously made the peeler inoperable. I almost threw the peeler away in disgust, but decided to wash it anyway. It was then that I noticed the protective strip. Once removed, the tool worked beautifully and as expected. So if you do buy this kitchen tool, be sure to remove the protective plastic strip from the blade before employing it!
