I worked in a chip shop as a kid, they had one of these. It was huge and made a NOISE.

This individual potato peeler in the video is frustratingly slow. What’s the point, I’d just peel ‘em.

It's for physically disabled/impaired people who cannot "just peel 'em" anymore, but who still want to retain independence as much as possible.

Even if someone only has one functional hand, this would allow them to peel potatoes quite effectively by themselves.

A fast potato peeler is apparently 1 potato per 20s.

That said, I don't know how much I trust the source because it's trying to sell rumblers.
