Amco Dial-A-Slice Adjustable Apple Corer and Slicer, 5.80 x 4.25 x 7.25"

I had one of those "regular" slicers that look similar to this, but a too-big apple and a determined will cracked it :D So, I needed a new one. I just randomly picked this one, it seemed similar, and I like that it had a choice of cuts...and honestly, I thought that part wouldn't work anyway. I do have one of those suction, turning peeler/corer/slicer things with the handle, but don't often want to dig out a big contraption for one apple. When I used it, what luck!!! The dial, adjustment worked! and not just once! The blades are just as strong with wide cuts as they are with the narrow ones. And the BEST part is that lid! I used to smash my old cutter down, flip it over and push each slice out with my finger (or else they broke off still in the cutter.) It wasn't smart to push my fingers so close to those blades, but I did it anyway.) With this one, I stick the apple right on the lid, aim the tabs (I wish those weren't there, but I guess they have to be) and push. The cutter has two dents that have to fit into matching cutouts in the lid, so sometimes you have to stop at the bottom and turn it a little to get it to depress fully into the lid. But then the fruit is fully cut and easy to remove. Cleaning is slightly harder than my old one. If you just let it sit on the counter too long after cutting (I admit that I do this :D) the apple guts get stuck. There is a little seam where the rotating blades fit together, and apple bits get stuck there. I just rinse it very well (the running water gets rid of most of it) and if I must, I push my finger (from the TOP) between the blades to clean it. I usually sit it on a papertowel to dry, or actually dry it if I am putting it away. It seems like the blades COULD rust in a dishwasher (I haven't tried...but thin stainless does that sometimes) so I don't put it in there. Overall, I am more than pleased with it. I wish it was just a touch bigger, as my favorite apples (honeycrisp) don't always fit (they were BIG this year.) If they made a bigger one, I would buy it too!

Bought this to use to help with pie making. It is awesome! No issues at all using it if the directions are followed, and it is much easier to use with my arthritic fingers than my previous metal one and is sharper too. The saucer underneath works really well to push out the last little bit of the apple that is connected. The only tiny negative is that it takes a bigger core out of the apple than the old one I had. At least there are no seeds or hard bits to remove though. Love the 16 slices! A great product, and I am very pleased with it.

I never actually just eat apples. So messy. I bought this Slicer because of: 1. The reviews compared to other slicers 2. An easy way to prep apples for my juicer 3. An easy way to prep apple slices for pie What I don't like about this slicer: - When using the thick slices, a few little pieces sometimes get stuck between the sliding blades. BUT that doesn't bother me too much, that setting is for my juicer and the slices don't have to be 100% perfect - the little scraps go right in the chute to be juiced. - This does make it a little more difficult to clean by hand - but the cleaner brush that came with my juicer works perfectly to get rid of the little scraps. What I love about this tool: - It's easy to use - It's easy to change between thick and thin slices - The thin slices will save a lot of time when making pie - no more chopping by hand, and they are perfectly even - Top rack dishwasher safe - snaps for easy cleanup! One more thing: I'm a late snacker. And because I don't discriminate (I love food) my choices aren't always the best. This slicer actually has me snacking on apples! Wash the apple, slice/core the apple, clean the slicer, sit back-relax-snack. Yay! I'm so glad I got this dual size slicer!

Since I wake up earliest I pack the lunches of our 3 school age kids. The boys like apples, sliced, and to save precious time in the morning I felt that buying a slicer would be a wise choice. Heck, who am I trying to fool? I like kitchen gadgets and slicing apples for lunches gave me an excuse to buy another kitchen toy. America's Test Kitchen (Cooks Illustrated magazine) rated a Williams-Sonoma slicer as their top pick - that slicer is exactly the same as this one, just re-branded. Overall I'm happy with it, though it's not perfect. Pros: - Sharp blades, cuts through apples with ease. - Easy to switch from 8 to 16 wedges. - Removes entire core - Snap-on lid makes it safe to store in a drawer. Cons: - When set for 8 slices, blades don't align perfectly so apple can get stuck in between them. - Locking mechanism can be a little fussy, sometimes it's hard to get the slicer to lock in one position. At Williams-Sonoma they say to hand wash this slicer but I've been running it through the dishwasher without any ill effect. Other reviewers complained the slicer removed an excessively large core but I haven't found that to be the case. Prior to buying this slicer I was using the OXO Good Grips Corer (coincidentally ATK's top apple corer). I usually had to run the corer through the apple 2 or 3 times to get all the core removed - this slicer gets it all the first time through. It's a handy little slicer. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The kids like the thinner wedges I get from the 16 slice setting - most slicers cut 8 or maybe 12 slices. The thin wedges are ideal for apple pie as well.

I absolutely love this apple corer. Having the option of two sizes with one device is perfect.

It's pretty good. Wish it was a bit bigger for my larger honey crisp apples
