The peeler blades swivel! Because they are not fixed, the peeler whirls around when I'm trying to peel. Suggestions? Thanks

If your blade swivels 360* it may be defective. Mine swivels but not so much that it inhibits my peeling ability.

I stick my index finger out over the handle and place the ball of my finger on the back of the blade to hold it still

It's easiest to twist apart. If you've tried that and it doesn't work, yours may be defective. Good luck!

Can't help ya there. BUT, IMO this peeler did not perform as well as I thought it would (sorry to say). I should have bought the less expensive OXO and maybe been happier. I've moved on and bought an el cheapo Faberware peeler from Wal-Mart for 3 bucks....plastic but works well. I'll throw this one in the drawer at work

I have not experienced this problem. Might try rinsing with white vinegar. I would also make sure there isn't any food residue stuck under the blade area.

I just received this peeler and it has opposing blades on the peeler side (not the julienne side) so I don't see why it wouldn't peel in both directions like the Titan peeler.

I agree with previous answer, great peeler.perhaps u can put the peeler on another spot or attach a piece of 1 1/2 in plywood temporally and use it that way. Good Luck

I thought that rotating the little rod will do it, but it does not work. This was a bad purchase, although was recommended by " American kitchen". I should have sent it back.I have one Kyocera mandoline product with fixed blade which is great. Disappointed in Portland

I have peeled mango with it with no problem. The blade swivels a bit but it doesn't rotate. Have had it for 2 years it's still sharp as new and love it.

I have not found this problem..might I suggest you use a very small amount of corn starch.just a wee pinch will help. I love my Kitchen aid chopper..worth the extra dollars..I have both chopped and pureed fruit and vegetables

The peeling "blade" is suspended within an open slot. It does move but not nearly as much as some I have used. Actually, I don't know that I have ever seen one that was stationary.

how are you applying the blades to the skin? the bottom of the blade should be parallel to the skin not meeting it at an angle... make certain the blade is clean and there are no teeth out of place or bent down. a tooth bent up would stop the blades or be very noisy but one bent down would not interfere with the blades but would "stick" or nick the skin.. experiment on your own cheeks

I did have the same problem when I first used it. I shut off the trimmer and moved the blade head with my hand ( or hit it on your palm) and it was fine after that.

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

You don't turn the black piece. It pushes up and down. That motion is what makes the blades of the chopper turn However, I find that if I fill the container too full or with large pieces, the black top will not come back up and I have to open the container to let the blades release before the black top can go back down again. Also, I sometimes cut my onion into smaller pieces before chopping them extremely fine in the chopper. Hope this helps.

Try putting it upside down on a simmering pot of water. I had to do it several times and there was still a little curl which my husband then curled backward, it now works like it's supposed to.

I haven't made any adjustments. My mixer works great! I use all the blades!
