Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vacu Vin Pineapple Slicer
Customer Review: Pays for itself!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always pretty lazy when it comes to peeling, slicing and dicing anything, so I used to buy the pre-cut pineapple chunks that sell for more than $5. This gadget was so easy to use that I'm only buying whole pineapples from now on. They are fresher and much cheaper and I don't have to spend fifteen minutes coring and peeling them. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Perfect product!!

This is the best, simplest and cheapest kitchen gadget that everyone should have...what a dream! I had it on my wish list forever and someone finally bought it for me :D It is supreme!! I highly recommend this one.Customer Review: Great pineapple rings!
Summary: 4 Stars
This product does was it says. It cuts easily and makes great pineapple rings. The handle does seem like it will wear out easily. If you pull the slicer out once you have made a complete cut at the bottom of the fruit it is easier on the handle and on yourself. There have been some comments about wasted fruit, my first pineapple had a bit of fruit left at the bottom I should have made one last turn to get it all other than that the sides and core were all that was left. Love this gadget!Customer Review: Good Concept Poor Execution

Take an unserrated plastic knife and try slicing a ripe pineapple and you will get the idea of how this works. It mangled my beautiful pineapple and I am quite adept at working kitchen utensils. I think this particular version of the Vacu Vin pineapple slicer/corer is a waste of of time and money. Not only is it designed for smaller pineapples (therefore wastes quite a bit of fruit on the larger ones) it requires a great deal of arm muscle to push this thing down through the pineapple as you are rotating the pineapple. If you are quite strong, possible this will work for you. It tore up my ripe pineapple and what few slices I was able to manage to get were very thin (due to not being able to apply enough pressure to the handle as it was being turned). I ended up using a kitchen knife to finish my pineapples. It took longer, but the end result was much nicer than the mangled mess that this made of the first one I did.Customer Review: Amazing results!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon.com, but I was still skeptical as to how well it really worked. When I got this thing and tried it out, I was amazed! I love pineapple but have always disliked the process of cutting them up. This thing slices an entire pineapple into perfect slices in about 30 seconds. Awesome!
