Does it work well on various shapes of apples?

Seems to. We used it on apples from our own trees - all different shapes and sizes. I'm still amazed!

Yes, it works well with all shapes and sizes. I can't say enough great things about the Norpro. I believe you won't regret this purchase.

I can only speak to Cortland apples which is the variety I always use; the Norpro worked very well.

i had to adjust the blade a bit tighter to my apples cause they were seconds and odd shaped. i had no problem after the adjustment. I had to do some touch up peeling on some spots because some were pretty indented but over all I was pleased.

We just got this last year and have put a great many different brand and sizes of apples thru it and just love it. It worked great and the slicer makes such uniform slices so easy and fast. As for any other fruit or vegetable don't know. But for the price and fun and ease it is worth it. Especially if you cann a lot like I do.

It has done a very nice job on all the different sizes and shapes of apples I have put in it. Note, the apples do need to have a fairly smooth surface as if it is a badly deformed piece of fruit the cutter cannot get down into grooves. My granddaughter and great grandkids were here when I was doing applesauce and they all wanted one, fun and easy to use.

You have 4 inches to insert an apple into the pins. It does a good job peeling and coring apples; unfortunately one of the pins on my peeler came out but it still works using only two pins. It is easy to clean after use.

Yes it can peel all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It is not as comfortable on apples and fruits as it is with larger or straight vegetables like carrots, butternut squash ect.

According to directions, I don't see that it can/should be used for anything but citrus......maybe? You need to press with firm hand with citrus, not sure you'd be able to do with apples though.....haven't tried & won't as it appears to me citrus is it......

Yes, it is excellent for apple pies. It will evenly slice the apples into thin 1/8th inch pieces, allowing the apples to cook thoroughly inside the pie.

I used it to peel an asian pear which is a small round pear very apple shaped and it did fine. But it would NOT work for a normal shaped pear

YES,, You have to lower the blade and adjust it to just touch the side of the apple,,as you turn it just peels and cores all in one!! Works great! Wife got this for Christmas and we used it to peel potatoes and spiral slice some also!!

I used this for apples mainly. I wasn't impressed with the corer tho. It was a little clumsy I tried to peal a orange and almost broke it. For apple uncored it work great.

I have not tried it on vegetables. It failed big time with apples and pears :(

This adjusts to all sizes of apples. I am very happy using my Starfrit 93013 Pro-Apple Peeler.

Never used it for anything other than apples? the rounder the better, so if you are thinking of pears, not sure it would work.

No I have not but it should work on any firm ripe fruit. I would imagine you could core an Apple or any other fruit where the seed or pit was pretty much centered and no bigger than a mango seed. Incidentally I also purchased an Avocado splitter and it was terrific. it rolled the big seed right into the hole and then sliced the Avocado in strips after scooping the flesh out.

Yes it will work on pears. It works on just about anything. It's actually a very good product. I really like the one I have.

They might be a little small for large apples.. But if you used small ones it would probably work!

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

I used it on fondant but I can say the I think you can use it to shape soft fruits.

I have used it on various sizes and have found it works well on all of them. The only thing you have to watch is to make sure you don't core too far through the base of the pineapple. It is an excellent product.
