Product Description
short description
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

 Did as advertised, but broke after 4 pineapples October 30, 2008
The product performed as advertised for the first 4 pineapples but
the turning handle broke on the 5th pineapple.
Nice to use a couple of times for fun, but not worth the $10.
I love this little item! October 17, 2008
It's easy to use, and I love that you can use the 'shell' of the pineapple for either a centerpiece or 'fruit bowl' to put your pineapple and other fruit in. I would recommend highly!!
PRETTY NEAT! October 11, 2008
I like it a lot. Every Vacu Vin product I've bought have been excellent, including this pineapple gadget.
No more rotten pineapples! September 7, 2008
I am a sucker for buying pineapples at the grocery store, but when I get home, I often leave them on the counter until they are rotten because I don't ever get around to slicing them due to the work they make. The kids won't eat the little spikes that I usually leave on the pineapple pieces. SO, based on a recommendation, I purchased the VacuVin Pineapple slicer. It works so well. It feels deceptively cheap, but the hard plastic cuts through the pineapple like a champ! The directions are visual on the box. It cuts a spiral cut ring - like a big curly fry - and pulls out like a wine cork once the slicing is complete. The core of the pineapple is in the center of the contraption, and it pushes out easily with a stick. There wasn't a single spiky thing left on the pineapple. It made good use of most of the pineapple meat, and it was quick to clean. This is a fabulous addition to my kitchen gadget collection - one I will use frequently.
 eeehhh... August 22, 2008
Perhaps it was me, perhaps it was my pineapples, but something wasn't working according to Hoyle. I had some difficulty getting it to go through the pineapple. (Yes, they were ripe!). Also, there was a lot of pineapple left in the pineapple shell for this frugal old gal, so that meant some tedious knife work to harvest the remainder. Finally, this device caused lots of wasted juice. Regretfully, my opinion, even though I am the minority, is to use a knife in the first place. I rate this pineapple slicer eeehhh...
