ComparisonSeptember 19, 2008 J. Buchan(Manchester, UK) I bought this as well as the plastic version with three sizes that can be found here: Vacuvin Pineapple Easy Slicer set of 3 (small, medium & large)
I first used the plastic slicer on a giant pineapple which made relatively short work of the pineapple but produced thinner slices than I was expecting and took a lot of pressure to make head way. I then used this version on a normal pineapple (sorry, I forgot the type) and this worked as I expected it should before I used the pastic one i.e. it was a lot easier and produced thicker slices than the plastic version.
The fact that it's metal seemed to provide it with less friction than the plastic version.
Overall I like this product and would recommend anybody to pay the little extra to get this version rather than the plastic version. The reason I have given four stars rather than five is that I cannot see a reason why this cannot come in a variety of sizes like the plastic one.
Little tip: When you've reached the bottom of the pineapple, pull up and continue turning the slicer to finish.

Makes me regret the time lost on peeling and slicing pienapples in the past. This slicer works like a breeze. And the stainless steel version means it can go to the dishwasher and will last.
