My mother has one that someone gave her for Christmas last year.
I tried it. I tried it plugged in and turned on and I tried it
unplugged. It peels just as quickly with no electricity as it
does when it is running. IMO, it is just an expensive and useless
gimmick. You can get a good manual peeler for about $5 and do the
same job in the same time without having to find an outlet to
plug it into and to be tethered with the electrical cord.
