Newness 5.12 Inch Extra Large Apple Slicer, 16-Slices Heavy Duty Apple Cutter, Durable Apple Corer, Stainless Steel Apple Slicer and Corer - for Apple, Potato, Onion and More, Red

I am a huge fruit fan and eat an apple or two per day. I buy my apples, from our local farmer's market by the half-bushel. The apples come in all sizes and are often very large. Two Progressive apple corers split when attempting to center and core larger apples. See the side by side comparison of the Newness vs the Progressive; also note the split on the Progressive where the two corers touch. I could never understand why Progressive didn't make a larger corer for "real world" size apples. The Newness corer is just what the "doctor ordered." In the two months that I've been using it, there haven't been any problems coring the largest apples. I saw some reviews stating that the Newness corer wasn't sharp enough. There's a proper technique to coring an apple that involves centering the the blade and pushing it in deep enough to support lifting the apple up off of the counter or cutting board. You then need to raise the apple about two or three inches or so off of the cutting surface and bring it down with enough force to slice it close to the bottom. You then need to turn it upside down, repeat the previous step, with less force in order to release the apple from the corer. You can then break off the slices off of the semi-intact cored/sliced apple as you eat them if you don't core them all the way to the bottom of the apple. Overall, the Newness Apple Slicer Corer is a sturdy well built corer. The blades and handles are solid. I researched and reviewed numerous corers before purchasing the Newness Apple Slicer Corer. It's the best corer that I've found yet and is still as sturdy, months later, as the first day that I used it and every day since!

Works beautifully! I read the reviews and decided to buy despite some lower star reviews. I’m really glad I did! Look how it perfectly cut my apple! Easy to push and cut. And I’m an old lady lol.

Amply sized - slices even larger apples. Attractive. Good grips. Elevated handles make pushing the slicer down to the bottom of the apple possible. Seems (?) sturdy, although only time will tell. My only criticism is that it's much harder to get through the apple than my previous slicer. It's definitely doable, but takes some strength and technique.

i purchased this to slice apples into smaller pieces than the normal store bought device. This one is very nice in quality and well made. However, it does take a bit of strength to push the slicer down to the bottom of the apple. The blades are nice and sharp and do cut all the way to the bottom. The customer service for this item was excellent and I would highly recommend products from them. I intend to replace this cutter with one that cuts larger slices and is not quite so hard to push down.

I’ve read other reviews and have seen photos of this broken. While it isn’t the sturdiest product, it does work if used gently on softer apples such as golden delicious and 20 ounce. I only use it to make apple pies. If it gives me resistance, I just gently rock it from side to side while pushing down. It also helps to have the stem side down on the counter. Some people use these type cutters with the apple stem up. It works much better the other way. I’ve made at least 11 apple pies using this so I don’t have to slice the apples.

I have several apple slicers. 8-16 slice versions. Small apple to large apple slicers. So far THIS IS THE BEST I’ve found. The biggest problem I’ve had with them all, and the reason I bought this one, was many apples are crooked. They don’t sit straight. So the corer can’t core and you have to try and start the slicer at an angle. It doesn’t work. THE BASE of this slicer FIXES CROOKED APPLES. Please see pictures. You set the crooked apple on the base straight up and down. This slicer…with its particularly handy CURVED blades slices straight down my crooked apples. The curved blades hold the crooked apple on the base better than straight blades. 8 vs 16 slices. Yes…an 8 slice slicer is easier to push through an apple than a 16 slice slicer. Yes…I wish this slicer was 16 or at least 12 slices. But honestly, this is the easiest slicer I have. I’m going to give my others away. If I find a similar style in a 12 or 16 slice version I will buy it. I love apples. They are a great late night snack instead of candy or chips. They are low glycemic. I use this slicer to get 8 pieces. Then I slice each one in half again. I don’t mind doing this because I like thinner slices especially to dip in peanut butter. And because this slicer works SO WELL compared to others, it slices so fast, the extra time to RE slice 8 pieces, doesn’t add more time, compared to my 16 slice version that is sooo hard to push that I have to smash the apple on the counter trying to get it through the apple. That takes longer to get 16 slices than this one including hand slicing. And with this one, the bottom 1/4 of my Apple is NOT MUSHY from slamming it against the counter. I highly recommend this slicer.

I lasted two years, worked really well, then it just snapped. Outer ring portion w/handles broke (the ring holding the blades, and the inner ring with blades fell out. I'll look for an all metal one now. Too bad, I liked the number of slices it made.

I have Arthritis in my hands. I drop lots of stuff, and grasping can be hard for me and others with arthritis. It makes using any tool difficult and at times very frustrating. Cutting and coring an apple with my grip on the handle of any knife can be a little hazardous. For a while I gave up on eating or baking with one of my favorite fruits. The apple. Today are more varieties and flavors then I could imagine. Needed a good all around quality tool for apples and other fruits. I found your product and liked the way it looked and the description of the tool. I might be able to use this. Other apple slicers I used did not hold up well or gave pain from grasping and pushing down. So I decided to go for it. I made a good choice. Because of its large sturdy construction,sharp blades and larger handle for grasping.My slicer made it easy and painless. Now on to my apples. Thank you. Paul
