EKCO Peeler

This is always been the best peeler around... still is!

I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THIS PEELER AND FINALLY FOUND IT ON LINE. IT LOOKED JUST LIKE MY OLD ONE . UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT WORK WELL AT ALL. I KEPT IT BECAUSE IT WOULD COST MORE TO SEND IT BACK THAN TO KEEP IT. I T DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS SHARP ENOUGH-MY OLD ONE STILL WORKS BETTER THAN THIS ONE.

Not at all worth the money. Peeler is dull. Does not peel skin off vegetables it shreds or rips it off. Bean cutter was not much sharper. Pretty lousy product. And expensive as far as peelers go. Very disappointed in this product. Would not recommend and definitely would not buy again.

A good value on this classic peeler.

This is a complete rip off. It LOOKS like the old Ekco peeler with bean cutter, but is so poorly made IT CANNOT SLICE BEANS!! I don't mean it doesn't do it well, I mean it cannot slice a bean AT ALL. I will be steering clear of this seller (Wayfair). Clearly they are buying Chinese knockoffs

It is just what I wanted

as the old one. My old peeler found its way into the garbage disposal and the 'bean-cutter end got beaten up, so I decided to replace it with the same brand. Imagine my astonishment on finding the new one not quite as sharp! I'll have to get my sharpening kit and see if I can fix it. Out of the box, though, this $8.95 is not quite as good as the 95¢ one I bought 50 years ago.

I ordered it because a friend of mine had one for like 20 years and was very satisfied. She didn't have the new one with the bean cutter though. I used it only once, put it in the dishwasher and the blade rusted! In the meantime I want to say I use another peeler which is really convenient for me and I put in the dishwasher almost every day and the blade is sharp and good as new for the past 3 years. I don't know if the factory that produces these has tried to reduce the expense of making them, but to me it seems like it. I'm sorry that I already threw it away before taking a picture to add to my review.
