Great corer!
I have been looking for an apple corer for awhile that would core an apple without breaking or twisting over time. I have used this a couple dozen times already and I don't see it breaking anytime in the near future. The edges are sharp enough to break through the skin of the apple and tube is long enough to go through even the biggest apples. I love that if I run it through the apple one time and I need to get more out I can just aim down one side of the core and "shave off" the extra core. It is a little tricky to push out the core from the tube requiring some muscles to get it out. But, I have figured out that if you spray the edge and inside of the metal tube with pan coating it helps it glide out much easier. In any case, I love this corer!

Perfect!
I was a little leery of buying this after reading some reviews about how hard it is to get the core back out of the unit. Totally NOT a problem. As one reviewer said, turn it upside down and hit it on the cutting board and the core is out. It is enclosed so no fear of a clumsy accident which I have been known to have with sharp implements. It was taking me about 45 seconds to prepare each apple to juice and today it was 5. I stepped back and wondered what I had forgotten because things were ready so fast.If you understand the science of a tube cutting things the dimensions of the tube and the cut object being exactly the same.............it's not gonna simply slip back out! I love this and will buy some for my grown children.

A Very Handy and Easy Timesaver
This is my latest, favorite kitchen tool!With a little twisting on the way down, the corer slides right through the middle of the apple. With a hearty whack on the plunger, the core pops right out and into the trash/compost bin. I wouldn't recommend this product to the elederly or arthritic but an average, middle-aged woman should have no problem using this handy gadget (trust me, I am one).Tips: If the core on a particular apple is larger than normal, just repostion the corer and go in for round two.Twist the corer, ever so slightly while pushing down on the apple for a smooth removal.When removing the apple core, place the plunger easily into the top of the corer and give it one good whack, don't try to push it out...smack it out!The corer works great at removing the middle of cupcake as well, just fill in the new core with frosting!

Meh
I do enjoy using this when I have many apples I need to cut up for parties, but it is sometimes hard to push through the apple and hard to push the core out. I ordered a different apple corer that is serated and opens slightly for removal.

Easy to use and clean! I will summarize others' complaints
I absolutely love this and it is easy to use. One of the main complaints is that it is hard to push out the core once inside the tube. Another reviewer posted that you are supposed to smack it to make it come out and that is absolutely true! Other reviewers didn't "like the idea of smacking" but it is by no means a hard "hit" just a quick tap on the top and the core will come right out!It's just the way to use it. I'm not sure why some are so upset about it...A good purchase!Oh, and by no means am I strong, so again, quick tap and out comes the core - and you can't beat the price!

It's an apple corer..and it works
I bought this because I wanted to be able to easily and quickly core apples before steaming them for my son.This works quite nicely, I have to say. It effectively and efficiently removes cores from both hard and soft apples and the core ejector slide smoothly into the corer to make cleanup a breeze.I can't really complain about the product, except I do wish the end of the corer was just a touch sharper. It's not enough to fuss over though, so if you're looking for easy to use and easy to clean, this is the corer for you.

Suprizingly simple and works very well
I have used this corer for making stuffed potatoes. Easily cut right into the raw potato and simply removed the core with out any fuss. Simple light twisting motion and almost no effort needed. Very sharp and easy storing and removal plunger works a charm.
