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
Great pineapple rings! (2009-06-18)
This product does was it says. It cuts easily and makes great pineapple rings. The handle does seem like it will wear out easily. If you pull the slicer out once you have made a complete cut at the bottom of the fruit it is easier on the handle and on yourself. There have been some comments about wasted fruit, my first pineapple had a bit of fruit left at the bottom I should have made one last turn to get it all other than that the sides and core were all that was left. Love this gadget!
Good Concept Poor Execution (2009-06-08)
Take an unserrated plastic knife and try slicing a ripe pineapple and you will get the idea of how this works. It mangled my beautiful pineapple and I am quite adept at working kitchen utensils. I think this particular version of the Vacu Vin pineapple slicer/corer is a waste of of time and money. Not only is it designed for smaller pineapples (therefore wastes quite a bit of fruit on the larger ones) it requires a great deal of arm muscle to push this thing down through the pineapple as you are rotating the pineapple. If you are quite strong, possible this will work for you. It tore up my ripe pineapple and what few slices I was able to manage to get were very thin (due to not being able to apply enough pressure to the handle as it was being turned). I ended up using a kitchen knife to finish my pineapples. It took longer, but the end result was much nicer than the mangled mess that this made of the first one I did.
Amazing results! (2009-06-04)
I bought this product based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon.com, but I was still skeptical as to how well it really worked. When I got this thing and tried it out, I was amazed! I love pineapple but have always disliked the process of cutting them up. This thing slices an entire pineapple into perfect slices in about 30 seconds. Awesome!

Not perfect; But Effective Enough. (2009-04-30)
I like this product. The only thing is, when I ordered it from Amazon, I did not realize that this company makes these slicers in a couple of different sizes. The slicer that I ordered was for medium sized pineapples and the first time I went to use it I was attempting to tackle a large pineapple. It worked alright....but I discovered that it does a much cleaner/nicer job on a smaller fruit. Just an FYI.
