With this tool, the peeling of each vegetable is a trifle. Here canted nothing, no shell gets caught in the machine. And the best part: it is peeled very thin. The waste remains very low. The plastic planer board is taken first might not entirely serious, but it is quite useful - once you have the bow out. The combination is also very convenient for the holidays, when you're with small luggage on the bike on the road. Fresh vegetables appears quite often on the menu; Potatoes are a no brainer. Also good: the part is easy to clean because entirely of metal; for the same reason it is also virtually indestructible. I use this Peeler for several years and really do not want to miss it.
