They both have cracked on the sides where the blades join the plastic. This is not acceptable. I tried a stainless steel model but it is very heavy and not sharp so it needs lots of force. Any other suggestions? I can't keep spending $7 for a product that keeps breaking. Oxo are you listening?

This devise cores and divides apples with no problem but it is a pain to clean. Where the metal folds over itself in several places there is a gap that collects bits of apple. Cleaning it with a toothpick every time I use it is a pain. Flushing it under the tap doesn't do it.

I've been using this apple corer for a few months and have to say I like it.
It cuts through an apple very quickly and precisely, much faster than if you were to use a traditional knife.
This is the perfect tool for a person who is prepping home made apple pie or apples in quantity.
It cleans easily in the sink or dishwasher.
The divider seems sturdy, but only time will tell.
That said, there are some "BUTs":
* Large size makes cutting smaller apples difficult.
* Occasionally an apple will shift while cutting and the cuts will be off.
* Large size makes drawer storage cumbersome.
* Be careful of the very sharp blades, accidental cut can happen.
* Usually does not cut 100% of the way through and one has to wiggle the core out and pull off the peices at the bottom.
If you don't mind coring and dividing an apple by hand then I say stick with your favorite knife. But for those of you for whom it has always been a chore, those who want to do it quickly, or those with a lot of apple to chop, this is a great timesaving tool.
 After a year, the plastic is cracking January 29, 2005

I find these apple slicers a bit hard to use in general but after a year, the plastic is cracking on the frame. Tough to use with hard apples like Granny Smith

This makes coring and slicing apples a piece of cake, but if your apples are too small, the core hole will take out a lot of good apple. If your apple is too big, it won't cut it. If it's just right, this is the best way to get apple slices.
