The 2 Best Vegetable Peelers of 2025
The Forever Peeler by Material is awkward to hold because it lacks finger indentations on the handle. The blade is quite sharp but it only comes with one replacement blade and you can’t purchase more separately (so it won’t last forever as its name implies).
The Victorinox Straight Edge Star Peeler was universally disliked by our testers. The sharp edges of the handle dig into your fingers, making it very uncomfortable to hold. It also dug too deep into the pith of citrus.
Testers with larger hands liked the shape of the Kotobuki Japanese Stainless Steel Peeler’s slightly elongated handle. Its curved blade can take off an impressively thin amount of citrus and apple peel, but the edges of the peel were relatively uneven and rough.
Our testers found the OXO Good Grips Pro Y-Peeler too heavy and preferred the OXO Good Grips Pro Swivel Peeler.
The OXO Good Grips Serrated Peeler worked best for parmesan and lemons, but it was unpopular among our testers, who disliked the serrated marks on the vegetables.
The Y-shaped Rösle Wide Crosswise Swivel Peeler, an all-stainless-steel model, felt high quality and peeled well, but our picks performed better for the price at the time of our testing.
The more basic OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler is a best-selling peeler on Amazon, but we preferred the heavier handle and grip of the Pro version.
We also saw promising Amazon reviews for several all-stainless-steel straight peelers that lacked a bridge entirely, such as the Rada Cutlery Vegetable Peeler and the Rösle Peeler. Yet none of these came as highly recommended as the peelers we tested.
