THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
This suits you if you prefer pulling a Y-shaped peeler across produce. The short handle gives you a close grip, and the side eye cutter helps remove small blemishes without switching tools. Its included cover is useful in a shared utensil drawer.
Look at a swivel peeler if you prefer an in-line blade and longer strokes around the food. Shape is a handling preference, not proof that one peeler is faster. This smooth-blade model also makes peelings, not the fine strips produced by Zyliss’s separate julienne version.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
Use the Y shape your way.
The blade runs across the handle. Use controlled strokes over the surface, keeping fingers clear of the cutting edge.
Put the cover back on.
The supplied blade guard clips over the cutting head. Let the peeler dry before covering it for storage.
Choose easy cleanup or gentler care.
Zyliss lists it as dishwasher safe but recommends hand-washing to help preserve the edge. Rinse away peelings before they dry around the blade.
02 / AMAZON REVIEWS
The buyers’ view.
Experiences with the black peeler are mixed: one buyer found it sharp and comfortable in hand, while another replacing an older Zyliss found the new peeler dull and more effortful to use. The familiar brand did not deliver the same peeling experience for both.

What the sources say.
The current model combines a smooth swiveling steel blade, side eye cutter and protective cover. Other Zyliss peelers use different blade shapes for julienne or soft skins.
The peeler is dishwasher-safe, but Zyliss recommends hand-washing to preserve the blade’s edge. Put the protective cover back on before storing it in a drawer.
