Rating: - Makes it easy!
Daily use for months now without a problem. It works great on apples and pears, cuts them to 8 equal pieces. The blade side on mine is really sharp, best cleaned with a dish brush (I've cut myself a couple of times on it.) Can't say I'd recommend letting the kids use it. The only criticism I have is sometimes it's hard to remove the core at the center, but otherwise it works really well. In response to one of the other reviews: you should check to see if the stem and the flower end line up to minimize capturing some of the core in your slices. This is especially true if your fruit is somewhat odd shaped--you may have to line up your stroke.

Rating: - Great Slicer
It is very sturdy and the blades are sharp. I used to have an all-metal one (not OXO), but it would bend when I pushed down on it. The OXO slices through the apple quickly and easily, and the rubber grips are easy on the hands.

Rating: - A great tool
I love this item, and the apple consumption in our house has gone up quite a bit since we got it. This tool makes cutting an apple very easy and fun, and so more apples are eaten each day.
