Monkey Peeler

I have a black OXO peeler that works great but that I can never find in the drawer because of its color. I went through a phase a few years ago where I really liked novelty kitchen utensils, and had this saved to a list from then. As I was cleaning up and updating my lists, I saw it and it's bright color and realized this would end my constant before-work rush to find the peeler as I prepared some food to take with me to work. I ordered it and was really happily surprised with the quality of it. It peels really nicely and is actually very comfortable to hold. I just pop him in the washer and toss him in the drawer, and he always stands out when it's time to peel before work! I really like this peeler more than I expected to-- it peels every bit as well as my OXO peeler, but is so much easier to locate.

I bought a bunch of these for grab bag Christmas gifts. I thought they were funny looking and a good laugh but this is also a good peeler. The blade is very sharp and it is very easy to hold in your hand. Doesn't slip. Also easy to clean. Good strong plastic handle. So this is both a funny joke and useful as well....I laugh every time I see it in the drawer.

i have bought several of these for my family and as gifts. have not had one break yet and its been years now. this pivots very easily on curved surfaces cutting kitchen preparation in time by a fraction. great for all sorts of veggies! very nice and sharp. Very safe to handle. This is a superior product that is well worth the price. I have bought other peelers that were supposed to be great but this one is so simple and functions exactly as intended.

The peeler works just fine, but you have to hold the monkey face-down and scrape upward to peel your vegetables. It's awkward to peel potatoes this way; I'm accustomed to holding a peeler of this type face up & scraping to the side or downward. It takes some getting used to, I guess. But it's certainly cute!

This is the best vegetable peeler I’ve ever used. My chef husband agrees. I purchased this from bed bath and beyond about 6 years ago and use it very frequently, it’s still super sharp. I bought this one to give as a favorite thing for a gift exchange this year. He’s my best friend.

I purchased this item years ago at Pier 1. Recently found on Amazon and purchased one for my mother. We both love it. Very ergonomic vegetable peeler.

This peeler has a cute design and it works well, but after using it for a few months, I was peeling a cucumber and the outside of the peeler ran over my nail--wow--it was gone, a whole piece of it. It scooped through the top, and you know how hard our nails are. I have used peelers for years and this has never happened to me, so I would caution parents--be very careful letting a child use this--I would not let mine. I have been a little wary of using it myself since then in fact.

Relatively safe for encouraging the younger generation into the kitchen.
