this is goodby niamh robertson

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

This apple peeler is a very good kitchen utensil. I have young children and they like apples,but they dont like the skin so this has been very handy in the kitchen for my young childern to have their apples. You know what they say,an apple a day keeps the doctor away,so I would recommend this product to people that don't want health issues, so keep eating apples!

I've only got one hand because I've had a stroke and I found it wonderful. It does everything perfectly.

So helpfulby J M

Apple Master

I have arthritis in my hands. When I saw this in the catalog, I got it so I no longer had to peel apples in my hands. It works so well and is much faster. I try to choose Bramleys with a straight core as they move through the coring circle more easily. A very useful and helpful tool!

great gadgetby Ann

4 stars out of 5

Apple Master

This is a great gadget if you need to peel and core a pile of apples for pies jams etc, it whizzes through them in no time at all and will slice them too! Possibly the only down side is that if you want to store it in it's box you have to unscrew the handle with a screw driver and re-attach it every time you use it, in addition and some of the wing nuts are so tight I can't undo them without a pair of grips. But all in all liked this product.

Apple Masterby Miss Mintram

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

This is a fantastic gadget, it not only peels and cores your apple it also slices it into a spiral!! I have bought several for my family, especially good fun for children to watch and to get them to enjoy eating an apple. The sturdy suction base makes it safe to put on the kitchen side without slipping, Thankyou Lakeland!!

disappointingby JACQUELINE WELSH

1 stars out of 5

Apple Master

I bought this for my husband, sadly we only got it to do a good job when the apple was an eating one and regularly shaped, cooking apples we had to go over with a knife. we will probably throw it away its not worth keeping and taking up space in the cupboard.

How have I not smashed it into a thousand pieces?by Nicola

1 stars out of 5

Apple Master

Thought this would an ideal timesaver with two children who love their fruit but you need the patience of a saint to use it. Really looked forward to getting home and using this and even after watching the product demonstration video I could not get this to peel. It feels quite 'flimsy' and the suction pad kept coming unstuck a couple of times too. Breaks my heart to give anything from Lakeland a bad review but I was so disappointed. Not able to return it to store at the moment so it's just going to be gathering dust in the bottom of a cupboard. A real shame but it's back to good old knives!

Apple Master

Buying presents for my 17 year old son can be difficult. But the sheer joy on his face when he recieved the apple master couldn't be put into words. He's been showing his mates just how easy it's to use and the fun it's given him. Thanks for making my son's Christmas one to remember!!

Brilliant !!!!!by Glenda

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

Wow, was I impressed or what? Why didn't I buy this earlier; having peeled, cored and chopped buckets of apples from my tree to make preserves etc. My husband (who hates gadgets) just had to take over and peel the rest of the cooking apples that have just been given to me. Well, you know what he will be doing next year? Shall recommend to all my fellow cooking friends. Thanks again Lakeland.

How to get the kids eating more fruitby Caroline

A great easy to use gadget that actually works. My kids love using this and anything that gets them eating more fruit is a bonus.

Take it seriously!by David

I bought this as a bit of fun as i thought it was a superb "Heath Robinson" contraption! However it is an excellent device and does a fast and effective job in peeling apples. Superb!

Just used my apple master for the first time. Very pleased that it does peel, core and slice an apple in seconds! Easy to use, easy to clean. Very happy. Would recommend :-)

disappointing :o(by Miss Reeves

1 stars out of 5

Apple Master

I bought this with my birthday money in the hope it would make using our home grown apples easier and save me some time; I only wish I had read the reviews on here first. The suction cup does not work at all and it seems to be unable to cope with apples of different shapes and sizes without a lot of faffing about - it's much quicker with a normal peeler. A real let down, wish I bought a simple peeler and treated myself to a new pair of shoes instead!

Apple tends to break and no handleby Eleanor

3 stars out of 5

Apple Master

I got this for my partner, I was sceptical but he likes gadgets! I think it is ok, it peels well but when it gets about 2/3rds of the way through the apple tends to break and the rings all fall off. I also didn't seem to have the handle in the box but I'm sure that is just a one off packaging mishap. All in all OK, maybe it would work better with firmer apples.

peel me an appleby Mrs SHEILA STOREY

4 stars out of 5

Apple Master

wonderful idea I hate peeling coring and chopping fruit (I run a cafe/restaurant at Church and people bring me all their unwanted fruit and there's an awful lot of it ) I bought an Lakeland apple peeler corer and slicer brilliant! but not quite as hard wearing as I thought it would be, I have already bent the prongs !! cant you get on to the designer and ask if a more industrial design could be made? It is a great idea hundreds of apples can be done, cooked and put into your steam bags ready for the freezer in no time Thanks

magic apple masterby Peter Whale

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

so fast - a whole large pan of apples to cook in 15 minutes (approx.). Even with hand finishing an uneven apple the time taken to deal with the fruit on to the machine and removal of the core is about 15 seconds. Round apples are faster!

Nice idea - poor build qualityby Elizabeth

1 stars out of 5

Apple Master

The Apple Master seems to be a prototype. Very "men in sheds" style build quality. The sucker pad does not grip making it very awkward to use and the 3rd or 4th time we used it, the gripper prongs snapped off mid apple. A great idea poorly executed.

recommended by stephen fryby Amanda

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

Having seen this demonstrated by Stephen Fry and knowing that there was a bumper crop of apples to be dealt with, my Aunt bought me this. It has been fantastic at speeding up the process, the fruit looks good arranged in a flan. If you really wet the base and put pressure on the base then it fixes better.

This is brilliantby Louise

5 stars out of 5

Apple Master

I bought this when I was weaning my son, as hand peeling all those apples was a real pain. This is brilliant - its so quick to do the apples - and now that he is weaned, its great for pies and crumbles as well. Have recommended it to all my friends.

Fantastic time saverby Mrs Williams

4 stars out of 5

Apple Master

With a garden full of apple trees, I needed something to make the chore of dealing with the windfall apples quickly and easily. This is fantastic. As home grown apples come in all shapes and sizes, I was aware that it would not always take all the peel off, mostly, it does a great job. Make sure you line up the core, and away you go. Kids love peeling apples with it too. A better suction on the bottom would have been useful, as it does come undone quite easily. Overall i am happy with my purchase.
