Kitchen tool

OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler Review

A no-fuss rotating peeler for potatoes, carrots, apples, and other everyday prep, with a broad non-slip handle.

Who it suits

This is a practical kitchen-drawer tool for anyone who routinely peels potatoes, carrots, apples, or similar produce. It is especially useful for buyers who prefer a wider handle over a narrow all-metal peeler.

Core strengths

The rotating blade follows curved produce, while the soft, broad handle is easier to keep hold of during repetitive prep. The integrated potato-eye remover is a small but useful detail for everyday cooking.

Main drawbacks

  • A single-purpose tool if you rarely peel produce
  • The blade needs careful cleaning and drying
  • Some cooks prefer a Y-peeler shape for their cutting motion

Compared with alternatives

Y-peelers can offer a different wrist angle, while all-metal models are more compact but often feel less cushioned. This OXO favors a familiar straight handle, easy storage, and broad everyday appeal.

Buy if

Buy if you prep potatoes, carrots, or apples regularly and want a reliable straight-style peeler with a wider grip. Skip if you strongly prefer a Y-peeler or already own a sharp peeler you use comfortably.
