Question: Is there a metric version?  My mom lives in Europe and I don't want to send her one that won't work in her country.
Document: I have to say that for me the analog version was complicated to use. Left-curving bananas, metric adapters for traveling, you constantly had to be thinking about your bananas and it was just IMPOSSIBLE to RELAX. I'd wake up in a cold sweat wondering if I'd be able to get through the next batch, if one miscalculation was going to send me to the ER with another gruesome banana injury.So imagine my delight when I heard about the Hutzler 571.2  app for my iPad and iPhone!
Ok, now, my German friend really wants one of these banana slicers but will they work on the European metric bananas? Also, their bananas curve in the other direction. Does anyone know if they are planning a European version or should we just try to retrofit this one?
I'm waiting on the electric version coming in 2013. This didn't work on my imported bananas due to the difference in metric to standard size differences.
Would any fellow reviewer from Europe be willing to pay a shipping charge so I can send it to you and you can try it under 220V? Otherwise I will have to admit the defeat :(
Banana slicer is now made out of a new durable plastic composite thus replacing its older metallic version...and thank God for that. I'm a traveling snake oil salesman and fly all over the country for a living. Since the new TSA scrutiny I no longer could bring my old metal banana slicer. Every time I went through airport security my banana slicer was confiscated and i would have to purchase a new one at the duty free shop in whatever airport I landed in.
I can see in their window them slicing and slicing banana after banana... With smiles and I can feel the love they have in that house. Unlike mine!! My mom is screaming at me right now to eat my vegetables. Really mom!! I'm 30 you know I want a banana slicer. Not some stupid vegetables. I can't even use this at work bc we sell already sliced apples!!!! Really?!? !
This is a God send! I no longer cut off the tips of my fingers when slicing my bananas! With two full fingers left, I was growing concerned that I would have to give up bananas all together. Not with the 571 Banana Slicer!! The one drawback is that it only cuts the banana in half. You would think that they would figure out how to make a slicer that cuts it into smaller pieces. Hopefully the next version will be better.
As the subject above states, I'm a little confused about this product. I live in a country where temperatures are measured on the Fahrenheit scale, and I'm loving and enjoying this product after purchasing it for myself and all my relatives so much that I want to buy one for a friend in Germany.
As creator of the 571, I must say that I am terribly disappointed in reading these reviews. It took me three years and 570 prior prototypes to perfect it's engineering. Sure I didn't specify if the measurements were standard or metric, but I only had a certain amount of money allotted to me by my husband to pursue this dream. Seems our marriage counselor thought I needed something productive to do with my time, accusing me of becoming too enmeshed in our children Brinkley, Brock, and Bernstein's lives.
I'm headed over to Europe later this year. Does anyone know if this model comes in a 220 VAC version?
Answer: The easiest way to get a metric version is to go on Canada's Amazon website...although I'm not sure if they will deliver to a US address. I live in Canada so I just ordered it from amazon.ca and they sent me the metric version. I gotta say, the metric version is much easier to deal with than the US version. 10 slices equal one banana. Whereas in the US, it's...what, 12 slices make one banana? That just makes no sense.
