Amazon.com Review
Fresh-cut pineapple is like a little taste of paradise--and if hacking up the whole spiky shebang weren't such a royal pain, we'd probably all eat a lot more of it. Vacu Vin's award-winning slicer takes the work and mess out of this tropical treat, peeling, coring, and slicing an entire pineapple in just 30 seconds. Equipped with a medium blade to fit most sizes of fruit, it works just like a corkscrew. Simply cut off the pineapple's top and twist the cutter into its interior to create perfectly shaped rings; turn once to create just a single slice, or several times to cut up the whole fruit at once. The shell is preserved intact to use for a dessert or drink bowl, providing the perfect presentation for dessert or drinks at your next luau. This durable plastic slicer also makes a great hostess gift, especially for a beach party or vacation home visit. --Mary Park

4 out of 5 stars Our luaus will never be the same!   July 24, 2008
I bought this gadget to make pineapple cups for a recent luau my friends threw and it worked great. The pineapple shell held a large amount of fruity drink and also provided us with tons of wonderful, eye-free flesh. The only complaint is the handle can pop off if pulled too hard, so use a delicate touch and have fun!


5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!   April 29, 2008
This item is great! I love fresh pineapple, but not the time it takes to cut it up the conventional way. This made it sooo easy! It's crazy how simple it is. The first time I used it, I thought I was wasting the part closest to the rind, but upon further inspection I found that it was the hard part that would usually end up mixed in with my good pieces and make me mad. To the reviewer who said it made their pineapple mushy, I found that when that happened, I was pressing down too hard...easily remedied.


3 out of 5 stars Slightly hard to use   April 5, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Although this item works I cannot see it working for a very long time.
It is very hard to insert and turn and to pull out the pineapple takes some muscle. It comes in two pieces and the plastic handle top does not look like it will last long. I would try and find one that is more durable possibly made out of stainless steel.



1 out of 5 stars Company Won't Stand Behind Poorly Manufactured Product   March 26, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I used my Vacu Vin about three times before the handle broke off, and contacted the company through their website about a replacement handle. After two weeks I received no response and emailed them a second time.

This time I received a hasty response as follows, "I have responded back to you 2 weeks ago and told you that we do not have extra pineapple slicer handles nor do we offer a warranty on this item."

As far as the three times that I was able to use the slicer, it sometimes worked nicely, and sometimes mangled the pineapple. There was always a lot of wasted fruit with this device since it is made to accommodate smaller pineapples as well as larger.

Save your money on this uni-tasker and practice your knife skills.

UPDATE: After notifying them of my intention to post a review with my experience, I received an email offering to replace the device.


5 out of 5 stars Mind was Changed. .   March 15, 2008
Had seen this and thought just another gadget. . Then I visited home and found my 86 year old father--who does not cook--using it and loving it. I have since bought several and given them as gifts as well and keeping my own busy.
