Product Notes:
The Rotato Peeler is sort of a cross between a lathe and a drill press: you simply mount the item to be peeled between the spiked turntable base and the big movable spiked arm at top and crank the handle at the top of the tower to both rotate the item and move the arm with the cutting blade up or down (depending on which way you turn). (The handle is not shown in the photo: it attaches to the top, but is removable.)
It can easily peel potatoes or other round root vegetables such as turnips or radishes, or onions or cucumbers, or thin-skinned fruit such as apples, pears, peaches, or even kiwi.
The whole unit is about a foot tall, and it has a non-slip base about 5 inches in diameter. It includes two spare blades (in the base), and replacement blades are also available (albeit not here at Aviva). It also includes a handy thumb paring knife to remove potato eyes or to dig out blemishes.
Dishwasher safe.
Please note, the original Rotato model is is not an electric machine - it is operated manually with a crank on top of the main shaft (not shown)..
