Sturdy but needs tweaking November 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this to replace a deteriorating plastic-framed Oxo. I like getting twelve slices instead of eight. I like the all-metal design.

However the coring center should be a larger diameter. I frequently have to trim the seeds from larger apples.

Also the blade needs better sharpening and tapering. The Oxo had a better blade design; the radial blades were spot-welded to the core and then sharpened as one unit. But this Leifheit has tabs fastening the radial blades to the center. Those tabs create friction and catch a lot of apple fiber that has to be scrubbed out. A taller blade would also help stability as the blade is pushed down.

I would buy the Leifheit again, but we still find the Oxo easier to push.

BAD DESIGN November 25, 2008
I purchase the Leifheit apple slicer/corer expecting that would give me perfectly cut slices for my apple pies. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Although it looks and feels like a heavy duty item, it was a total disappointment when I used it. The blades are not sharp enough and they do not cut all the way through. I am a pretty strong woman I think and I really have to put all my strength to push this apple corer through the apple. After succeeding that task the slices are still attached and you have to pick them out one by one which makes it very time consuming. I think using my paring knife I can core and slice an apple way faster. It is ashame because it looks well made but it really has a design flaw. The blades needed to be sharper and longer.

Works great November 18, 2008
This slicer is stronger and easier to use than the one I have, and it does a nice job on an apple, very quick and right on through. None of these I've used go completely all the way through an apple every time, but it's plenty close enough for the pieces to be easily and quickly plucked out. The grip is good, and raised to prevent knuckle bashing such as the ones with straight handles do. This is a good one.

Perfect Slicer! November 15, 2008
I love kitchen gadgets that work and this is one of them! Does exactly what it's supposed to do, makes 10 slices quick and easy and cuts close to the core without any waste. Perfect size for putting in food processors (we juice all the time). Probably the perfect size for children's small mouths too. Easy to clean stainless steel. Heavy duty, great quality. You won't regret this one!

Not well made November 4, 2008
It worked fine for about 25 apples, then the blades broke away from the ring. Based on the other reviews, I may have received a defective sample, but I can't recommend.
