I have one of those Y peelers, whatever they are called, the
OXO type, I can peel tons of carrots effortlessly with it. Just
hold one end of the carrot and slide, not even scrape, it down
the carrot while rotating it, it's no trouble.

Make sure your mother has a decent sharp peeler. Otherwise,
I don't know of any automatic peeler other than the juicer Wayne
mentioned.

Good luck to you and your mother, Dean.
