Fox Run Peeler/Bean Slicer, 0.5 x 0.75 x 6.75 inches, Metallic

Love the string bean frencher so much I replaced one I’ve owned for about 50 Years.

My mother had this type of peeler when I was a kid and I used to help her with peeling potatoes and cutting string beans in the French style. I was totally disappointed with this tool. The peeler is not bad but the attachment for slicing the beans is useless. The blades are so dull that the beans just jammed on them and broke. It was not very expensive but it is not really worth anything unless you are just looking for a potato peeler.

This is a good, old-fashioned peeler. I have tried many of the new styles, but you can't improve on this one. I lost one that was 50 years old, and I am happy that this is identical. The peeler swivels, and it takes off a light peel, not too deep. The tip will dig out bad spots. The end will make French-style string beans.

My experience with this product, when used to slice beans, was both disappointing and frustrating. The slicing blades, located at the top of the device were extremely dull and would not allow even the smallest bean to pass through. The result was a smashed, torn-up mushy mass. I didn't even attempt to use the bottom peeler portion which seemed loose. I lost a similar device that I had used for several years and expected the two that I just purchased to perform likewise.

Peels nicely. Sharp. It's a peeler for crying out loud....

It looks just like her, but they fell short on properly sharpening the blade. As you slice the skin there is resistance, then it's kinda rough. I was hoping for better.

Works very well

I have a metal peeler/bean slicer of my Mom's which I used as a little girl to french style string beans for a recipe. I have used it until now. Unfortunately, one of the blades fell out, rendering it unable to do the job I needed. I purchased this peeler/bean slicer for myself and my daughter. I am very disappointed in its performance as a bean slicer. You have to push very hard to get the bean through. Even when it's halfway you are supposed to be able to pull it through the other side, completing to slice the bean for a recipe that calls for French-style string beans. When you attempt to pull it through the string bean breaks in half, I don't use it as a peeler, because I have a perfectly functioning peeler that I use. I purchased this product as a bean slicer only. I am very sorry I did. I did think the one I got for my daughter was dull and that's why it was happening, but mine did the same thing. It is a terrible product. Do not buy.
