Default Apple corer, fruit peeler

Anyone found one that is easy to use, clean and actually works well.
Any combined ones for apples, pears, pineapples etc?

QVC did a cute little plastic thing, but looks like it will only last
five mins.

So, you dont like reasoned,
well thought out, civil debate?

I understand.

The "Good Grips" peeler is excellent and has a larger handle for us chaps
with big hands.
I would expect their corer would be good too, although I'm not sure you
could use an apple corer on pineapples successfully.
There is a proper pineapple corer, cutter and peeler combined but it does
waste a lot of the fruit on the outside, but then you can always
cook/mash/strain the cuttings up to make juice as I've seen done abroad.

Sorry I should have said an auto peeler, to quickly peel lots of
fruit.

I wonder if anyone has any recipes for pulp from juicers too?

For apples we have one of the ones that Lakeland sell )of an old design)
- the apples turns on a handle and the peeler peels off in a nice
spiral, cutting out the core as well.

It does work pretty well, though very lopsided/odd shaped apples don't
work quite so well sometimes.

If you have lots of apples to do it makes the process much easier and
quicker.

If you have a broken newsreader that can't deal with that search for
'Apple Processor' on their site..
