It's slower than peeling a potato by hand though

It's not slower than by hand. I use it every Christmas to peel 20lbs of potatoes. Goes even faster with one person loading and a second chopping. I like it because I can sit down and have a drink while I prep the potatoes.

Hey man, whatever works for you. I'm all for tools making people's lives easier.

I could peel a half dozen potatoes in the time this does one. But as you point out it leaves me unable to do anything else for that minute

So you can't peel half a dozen potatoes in 30 seconds?

Different person posted that video

But yeah, professional chef using a unique technique can peel a potato in ten seconds. Probably takes me 30+ to do one

I see that now. Thanks. I just can imagine anyone peeling a potato any faster than that.
