Helpful hints
Before peeling, put a paper towel beneath the Rotato to catch peelings.
When choosing foods to be peeled, choose fruits and vegetables that are firm, blemish free and symmetrically shaped. Fruits and vegetables more than 5.5″ tall should be cut in half so the Rotato Express can grip them firmly.
Rotato Express Parts
How to peel fruits and vegetables
- Center the food on the bottom food holder and press gently
- Lower the upper food holder so that it grasps the food and holds it securely
- Using the height adjustment lever, raise the cutter arm so that it rests on top of food to be peeled. WARNING: Do not grab cutter blade… it is razor sharp!
- While pressing lightly on the upper food holder, press on the power button. The skin peels off in one clean, continuous curl
How to remove peeled food
- Lift upper food holder from food and raise it to the top of the support column.
- Grasp food, and using a gentle back and forth rocking motion, remove food from bottom food holder pulling towards you. Do not yank your fruit or vegetable straight up from the bottom food holder. You don’t want to accidentally swing your hand into the holder spike. WARNING: Do not grab cutter blade… it is razor sharp.
- Trip off any deep potato eyes with the little plastic knife. Use the same knife to remove blemishes on fruit and vegetables.
- Built-in storage
- Non-slip base
- Includes 6V adapter

I make a lot of apple desserts and I make potatoes every day. Every potato for every dish MUST be peeled and I hate peeling things. This thing is very light weight and seems fragile but has worked well so far. One terrifying moment happened when I grabbed it out of the cupboard and plugged it in still holding it and the red button had been in the on switch and it started running and nearly got my finger. Don’t be in a hurry or lazy- get it out, set it up on the counter, and with hands OFF plug it in. Everything but the blade is plastic but the spikes work well, there’s a fine line between being significantly on, not on enough, and dangerous to the fruit or tuber if not on enough.When you’re doing one potato or one apple, it’s a novelty. When you are doing a bunch, it’s annoying. To adjust the death spike from above you have to reach around the back (and not in a lefty-inclined way) to pinch things together to raise it up, you have to then use both hands separately to then swing/move and raise the blade. It is not a smooth/effortless/mindless activity over and over again.How it functions: It typically (on a potato) misses the very top in such a way that a single scoop and pass with a peeler will take care of it. It feels like you’re setting up an old record player needle, and it makes a sickening/startling click when it finally engages when you don’t do it right (always). On smaller potatoes it seems to slow at the waist or 3/4 to the bottom and it takes a little more then it needs to. Once the potato width is narrowing to the bottom, the blades says “yeah, I’m outta here” and slips off sneakily but keeps descended to trick you and then stops and then you see that you have to make a few passes with the peeler anyway.You’re also responsible for any eyes/knots.With apples it performs even worse, it skips the whole top, jumps around when trying to get started, does one ring around, skips a few strips, does the side, then when it gets near the bottom “keeps going” without cutting.Will I still use it?Yes. There is still noticeably less waste. I peeled 5 lbs of red potatoes by hand, and made the machine do 5 lbs of red (and I finished the edges etc). Then I weighed the refuse before I dumped it in the compost (by that I mean the wooded bank where I grow some peppers and potatoes. The hand-peeled pile weighed almost half as much.It saves time in the end but it’s the opposite of a hands off procedure so there’s very little you can accomplish other than just standing there feeding and removing. It’s not a kitchenaid mixer where you can run the gauntlet and go outside for a few minutes (though I usually end up hearing the crazy splashing of the butter finally forming and having to run back in out of breath).Because it was inexpensive and because I used amazon reward points for it, it’s staying in my kitchen.

I love this machine. It saves me time cutting fruits and vegetables. I only gave it a 4 because I wish that it would peel the entire item. You have to also peel the very top and bottom because it leaves a little skin once it gets started peling and right at the very end of peeling. I would definitely buy it again though. Just wish it peeled it entirely. It still works wonderful and is very easy to use.

Don’t expect magic from these types of devices. It takes longer to peel than I expected. And there is a certain amount of waste. Having said this, I like the product very much because I can do other things while it’s peeling. And I don’t cut my fingers by mistake. On top of it, the price is right.

This is one of those products that I didn’t know I needed it until I had it. I use it a couple of times a week and actually just bought a second one for my mother in law for Christmas. It’s super easy to use and clean up afterwards. Having arthritis, it has been difficult for me to peel potatoes in recent years. I’ve been using this for about a year now and I honestly don’t know how I ever made it without it. It does a great job of pealing potatoes with minimal waste. Some oddly shaped potatoes are a little more difficult for it, but it’s never an issue. My dinner prep time with anything potato related has been reduced drastically with this great device.

If you’re tired of peeling the potatoes for the holiday feasts, get this. I waited to review this until I had a chance to really give it a work out, and Thanksgiving is the test. It’s my job to do the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving every year, and peeling potatoes for a big crowd was something I started to dread after 20 years or so. Dread no more. Just did about 10 pounds in a half hour or so. No backache, no cuts. The potatoes come out looking like they were peeled on a machine, but since I didn’t have to do it by hand, I don’t care. I love this machine. Absolutely worth the low price and frankly, it’s even entertaining to watch.

This peeler works great, especially when you have a lot of potatoes to peel for say, a holiday meal. I have even scrubbed the potatoes well in/a vinegar bath to thoroughly clean the skins, rinsed & dried them thoroughly, & then fried the peelings in olive oil. They come out crispy like potato chips only in shoestring shape, & are so good.

I had volunteered for potato and apple peeling duty on Thanksgiving which made me look humble until I whipped out this peeler! Then I tore through the ponds of potato and green apples like I was possessed! The unit worked exactly as advertised and each potato left just the slightest of ends to whip of with a hand peeler. And to boot we air fried the peel strips after soaking in salt water and made a crispy topping for the mashed potatoes. Would definitely recomend the product. If you are gentle the unit will reward your care with consistent results.

Honestly never thought these kind of items existed. Saw this item in a forum and purchased it. It is fantastic and straightforward to use. Works like a charm on most veggies and fruits. It doesn’t work well with cucumber etc., so four stars
