Does the potato eyer (the piece that sticks out on one side of the peeler) ever get in the way when you are peeling something?

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer this right now; I bought this peeler as a spare to have on hand when my other one breaks and I have not used it yet. My other peeler is not an OXO but it does have the potato eyer that sticks out on the side and it does not get in my way when peeling.

No it does not get in the way. You have to turn the peeler to use piece that takes the eyes out.

No, but I haven't had a problem. When you slide the cutter across wrap stays there.

yes the utensil holder can hag off the side or end of the rack (except on the plate end).

I never thought of that! So I tried it and it works....to a certain degree... Since tater peels seems to be much harder than apple peels, it takes more pressure to work. And unless your tater is very symmetrical, it will leave bits and pieces of peel on the spud that you may or may not want to remove. Frankly, I don't think this peeler is made to do this, and it may wear out the little peel blade more quickly. To make a long story short...yes it will peel potatoes.

Eggplant may be a little too large for this. I have peeled large apples, potatoes, and yams with no problem.

yes, it pops right off so don't be afraid to force it a bit, but make sure you're pulling on the right hand!

It comes off. I just called Messermeister. Hold the peeler in one hand and the tag in the other. Twist like you are wringing out a towel. It will pop off.

Yes. There's a peel here corner for more information spot and you peel that up and keep pulling and it comes off pretty easily.

it gets the core in the middle and the fruit flesh is separated as a continuous slice - like a helix - as the peel is left behind once you lift the tool up or push it all the way through. In order to push it through one need to remove the plastic handle.

The peeler will handle potatoes, but I'm not sure it will stand up 2 bushels at one time.

Yes! The blade is spring loaded and this allows it to move in and out following the shape of the apple. This lever can be moved away as there is a latch that allows you to core and slice the apple. To the best of my knowledge, all these types of apple peelers have this function.

Yes, there is a small lever that holds the peeler back. The apple's are sliced in a spiral while being cored.

Yes, however I have had some trouble using it, its set at an angle and makes it a little awkward.

Personally, I peel them, but the peels would not likely make it through the ricer if you didn't. If the peels got between the potato and the ricer holes, neither would the potato.

No, but you can take the middle piece off with a knife, it takes a couple minutes but it makes it thumb friendly.

It has a small (semi-sheathed) blade that peels apples because they are of a uniform shape. I wouldn't even attempt tp peel potatoes in it. They are grittier (dirtier) of various shapes, sizes, and the flesh isn't the same texture as apples. So, no.

Do you mean, just peel? Yes. There is a spring loaded arm that can be adjusted out of the way.
