ZYLISS Apple Slicer - Stainless Steel Fruit Cutter, Corer and Divider for Apples, Pears - Green Kitchen Tool for Fruit Salad, Baking, Snack Prep & Kids Lunch Boxes

My first apple corer was from Target, and a pathetic thing that cracked in two places after a few dozen apples. I thought an all-metal unit would be better, so I bought that as a replacement (also from Target), but the entire blade assembly separated from the metal handles after roughly the same number of apples.Given that I had exhausted all two of my Target options for apple dividers, I came online and found this one. I was a bit hesitant, as my first one was plastic too, and, again, that one was terrible. But I can safely say that, after two failed attempts, I’ve finally found one that I’m quite happy with. This Zyliss unit has gone through a couple hundred apples (so far – I eat a ton of apples), and still works as great as on day one. It’s also larger than many other units, so I can cut up normal-sized apples, not just the “lunchbox size” ones.The one downside is the “coring” aspect. Of the three corers I’ve used, this one has the smallest diameter. It’s not a big deal, but I find that I almost always run into one seed, which either gets pushed out of the way or sliced up. Some people may prefer this, as this means they get “more apple” to eat. I’d rather err on the side of “less core”, but that’s just me.
