The apple peeler does what he promises, perhaps a bit too much takes the apple when peeling off, but these are minor points. Westmark advertises a Germany flag in the package but the words "Made in Germany" is nowhere. Neither on the product nor anywhere on or in the package or the information. This and other evidence suggests Chinese sold the Westmark here (or other cheap) copies and the only German in the matter may be the address of Westmak. That bothers me tremendously. I had bought extra a slightly more expensive product, hoping it came from Europe, or at least not from China. Well - Reingefallen.
