Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Apple Corer and Divider
Customer Review: Contrary to some reviews, this will last FOREVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Allow me to explain my apparently absurd title... Some people have complained that it arrived cracked or dull, or that it cracked or broke within an unreasonable time. Apparently they did not read the card that the corer came attached to. On it OXO states: "Satisfaction Guarantee: If for any reason your are not satisfied with this product, return it for repair, replacement, or refund." To me this means if it has anything wrong with it or you don't like it for any reason, you can return it for a repair, replacement, or refund tomorrow or 3 years from now. There is no time limit in the statement; there is no asterisk with fine print following. So, unless OXO is lying, it is guaranteed virtually forever.
Next my own experience. I received mine from Amazon a week ago (no cracks in the plastic, the blades are sharp) and have been using it since then, just preparing a single apple at a time for my own pleasure. I really like how quickly and easily I can get an apple ready to eat! I wish I had gotten one of these years ago so I would have eaten more apples and fewer less healthful snacks. (Personal note: my teeth aren't very good for biting so if an apple isn't sliced I'm much less likely to want to eat it.)
I don't have a cutting board so I have been cutting right on my small ceramic serving plate. I have found it cuts smoothly and easily if I rock it a little as I push it down to keep in control and not smash the plate. (In this case it is probably a good thing the frame is plastic and not metal.)
I am grateful to the reviewer who suggested to slice off the bottom 1/16" of the apple before using the corer so that the skin doesn't hold it all together and make it hard to separate the slices. That little effort makes a huge difference; the slices will just fall right out (by themselves or with a gentle poke) when you finish the downstroke. All you have to do is wiggle the core loose and rinse off the corer and you are ready to eat.
This is the first of these that I've ever used so I can't compare with others, although I did shop around on Amazon and saw that OXO makes an all metal version for a couple of dollars more for those who don't think plastic will last. Also I saw another manufacturer who claimed their product was "large" so that might be a better choice for those who need to slice larger apples (although this one seems to have plenty of room left over with the apples I've sliced so far).
It's an unqualified winner for me, so it gets my full five stars.

Soft, wide handles take the pressure off your hands, and sharp, stainless steel blades glide easily through fruit and yield perfect slices.The handles are raised to assure ample clearance between your hands and the table. The OXO GOOD GRIPS Apple Divider is perfect for pies, cobbler or preparing a simple snack.
One second is all it takes to yield perfectly cut fruit slices with this tool by Oxo. Also a great tool for pears, the apple divider's soft, oversize rubber handles relieve and absorb the pressure from your hands for a nearly effortless cut.
