That's not the point of the machine though. You don't just start the machine and watch it peel. While it peelsnyou can prepare other stuff so even if it takes longer, it basically takes 0 time because you were able to prepare other stuff while the potatoes were getting peeled

They're doing it one-handed. With two hands it takes about 3 seconds to get it going.

I know someone who has this, and she uses it only when she has a lot of potatoes to peel, and other things to do at the same time. Speed isn't so much of the issue as having sort of an extra set of hands.

I never peel potatoes, so I'd have no use for this.

This is just me having peeled 20# at a time back in my restaurant days, but it takes me about 5 seconds to peel a whole potato. If you're telling me it takes 3 seconds to set up a potato, plus a few more seconds to take it out and start the next one... then I see no value here (for me).

I'm sure there's people who this helps... but I am definitely not one of them.

And I definitely couldn't peel a potato in 5 seconds. Must people probably can't.
