It seems to be a high quality gadget but - alas - it's NOT
If I would left my review soon after I bought this corer (as most customers do) it would be happy 5 stars review as I really liked this gadget in the beginning. It made right hole - not too small, not too big, and I could get the apple core out of it with one slight motion, so I almost abandoned my old OXO corer that I had been using before.
But after about 3 months of regular use the inner spring in the corer that kept the metal parts together got really weak, and the corer's regular position became PERMANENTLY SLIGHTLY OPEN. All the fun of using it disappeared immediately. In addition yesterday (after 3.5 months of use) one of the rivets popped out... so now I'm coring apples again with my old good OXO gadget that I bought a few years ago.
Kind of disappointing experience, I'd not recommend you to buy Cuisipro Apple Corer if you are going to use it often.
UPDATE:
I kept using this corer from time to time when I needed to core an apple and my other corer happened to be in the dishwasher. So here is my update: the inner spring got broken completely and fell out - ALL RUSTY. It's NOT made of stainless steel for sure (which is very weird for a spring). And rivet fell out again and got lost.
Looks like this thing falls apart just after 4 months of use. An example of good idea that failed b/c of lousy implementation.
