The size is the whole point
A slicer that is narrower than the apple does not slice it — it wedges, and you end up leaning on it with both hands. The ring here is 108 mm across and takes fruit up to 105 mm. Most of what is sold stops around 90 mm, which is fine for a small apple and no help at all for the ones people actually buy.
Why 301 steel and not 304
304 is the usual stainless for kitchen tools and it is a good material. 301 is harder, and on a blade that has to cut through skin and flesh in one stroke, hardness is what keeps the edge. It stays sharp roughly twice as long. On a slicer you use every day for a child’s lunchbox, that is the difference between a tool and a drawer ornament.
Both hands free
The stand holds the slicer upright on the counter so you push down and the apple does the work. The same base covers the blades when it goes in the drawer, which matters more than it sounds: eight exposed blades in a drawer is how people cut themselves reaching for something else.
Not the right tool if…
You want rings rather than wedges, or you are cutting pears and quince that are wider at the shoulder than 105 mm. This is sized for apples, and it removes the core — if you need the core left in, cut by hand.
