I used for years a potato peeler in the lowest price class, without thinking big about the use. Having now taken this to the workplace, and a new quasi needed for home, I thought, then take something "good" ..and Already after first use this Pendelschälers was surprised by WMF. Even when peeling a cucumber is the difference enormous that begins already at the noble appearance of the peeler, it is relatively difficult (but pleasant) in his hand, and the work itself, the blade glides so quickly and effortlessly under the shell that you quasi falls into a frenzy and is disappointed when the vegetables are baring too quickly ... Especially as the cutting depth of a peeler equivalent, it is not too removed from the shell. Perhaps we should often times invest a little more money in household products, to realize that there exists but a very pleasant difference. This may not be important to everyone, but I am thrilled and can only recommend this product.
