Before peeling, put a paper towel beneath the Rotato to catch peelings.

When you're doing one potato or one apple, it's a novelty. When you are doing a bunch, it's annoying. To adjust the death spike from above you have to reach around the back (and not in a lefty-inclined way) to pinch things together to raise it up, you have to then use both hands separately to then swing/move and raise the blade. It is not a smooth/effortless/mindless activity over and over again.
How it functions: It typically (on a potato) misses the very top in such a way that a single scoop and pass with a peeler will take care of it. It feels like you're setting up an old record player needle, and it makes a sickening/startling click when it finally engages when you don't do it right (always). On smaller potatoes it seems to slow at the waist or 3/4 to the bottom and it takes a little more then it needs to. Once the potato width is narrowing to the bottom, the blades says "yeah, I'm outta here" and slips off sneakily but keeps descended to trick you and then stops and then you see that you have to make a few passes with the peeler anyway.
You're also responsible for any eyes/knots.
With apples it performs even worse, it skips the whole top, jumps around when trying to get started, does one ring around, skips a few strips, does the side, then when it gets near the bottom "keeps going" without cutting.
Will I still use it?
Yes. There is still noticeably less waste. I peeled 5 lbs of red potatoes by hand, and made the machine do 5 lbs of red (and I finished the edges etc). Then I weighed the refuse before I dumped it in the compost (by that I mean the wooded bank where I grow some peppers and potatoes. The hand-peeled pile weighed almost half as much.
It saves time in the end but it's the opposite of a hands off procedure so there's very little you can accomplish other than just standing there feeding and removing. It's not a kitchenaid mixer where you can run the gauntlet and go outside for a few minutes (though I usually end up hearing the crazy splashing of the butter finally forming and having to run back in out of breath).
Because it was inexpensive and because I used amazon reward points for it, it's staying in my kitchen.
- If you drop it...it's trash.
- When it comes across any blemish on a fruit it will cover the blade with a piece of the fruit and not peel anything until you stop the device remove the peel and THEN continue where you left off; However, from that point on the cut will be much deeper (removing more of the fruit) than when it was first started.
- You still have to manually peel the tops and bottoms of the fruit.
- I don't expect it to last very long; But then what do you expect from such a low priced childrens tool.
