Two peelers for $12.99 sounds like a deal until you read what 41% of buyers had to say.
Buyers report dull blades, a julienne edge that won't shred, and untreated wood handles. At 2.8 stars, here's why we'd pass on this $12.99 two-pack.
TikTok made this 3-in-1 peeler look like a kitchen cheat code. The Amazon crowd files a different report: 2.8 stars, 41% one-star — basically a smoke alarm. The 'ultra-sharp' blade and julienne edge, the exact tricks the clip shows off, are the exact parts buyers say flopped. At $12.99 a proven single-blade peeler costs the same and actually cuts. Hard pass.
## A third love it, 41% gave it one star
We haven't used this peeler — this is our read of 132 buyer ratings, and they split in a way you rarely see on a $13 kitchen tool: a third at five stars, 41% at one star, averaging 2.8. The happy third mostly use it as a plain straight-blade peeler for potatoes and apples, and say it does the job. The unhappy plurality hit the same wall: blades duller than the listing video suggests, and a julienne edge that never makes the advertised strips no matter the grip. One buyer went through five different holds before giving up.
## The details are worse than the star count
One thorough reviewer got units that arrived dirty and scratched, with raw, unsealed wood around the blade — right where water pools at the sink. Others found it smaller and thinner than pictured, with a stubby handle. Nothing in the box explains the second edge; even the four-star reviews admit you have to work out the technique yourself.
## The price is doing all the selling
At $12.99 (as of July 2026) for two, this looks like a safe gamble. But a peeler has one job, and 'doesn't work as advertised' is the line that repeats most in these reviews. When your happiest buyers are the ones who stopped expecting the headline features to work, put the same $13 toward one proven single-blade peeler instead.
