My mother-in-law used to say that.  I bought an inexpensive peeler as an addition to my two OXO ones.  (I am constantly peeling, I guess, because I had found myself in need of a third peeler recently.)  After using that inexpensive implement for just moments I put it aside and ordered an Oxo peeler.  Not is it ergonomically constructed, it also works fabulously, without the need to press on the blade.  There may very well be something else equally good out there, but I'm not gonna go look for it.  I only wish it came in various colors, so I can differentiate among my peelers.
