What you are getting
Both shapes in one pack — a Y-shaped peeler and an I-shaped peeler — with carbon steel blades on a zinc alloy body, a built-in potato-eye remover, and a non-slip rubber grip for either hand.
The only listing on this shelf that settles the shape argument
Eleven other peelers here make you choose, and none of them explains the choice.
An I-peeler (swivel) holds the blade in line with the handle. You pull it toward you along the length, and the pivoting head follows curves. Better on small round produce — new potatoes, apples, ginger, carrots.
A Y-peeler holds the blade across the handle. You plane with it, taking a wider swath on a longer stroke. Much faster on big produce — squash, celeriac, swede — which is why professional kitchens use them.
FUHUY gives you one of each for $9.99, which is less than the single OXO Julienne Y-peeler on this shelf.
Carbon steel on a zinc body
Carbon steel takes a keener edge than most stainless, because it hardens further — hence the claim, which is half right. And zinc alloy rather than plastic for the frame, which only OXO Pro also offers here (die-cast zinc, $17.95).
But the washing advice is wrong
The listing claims dishwasher safe on a carbon steel blade. KITCHPOWER, the other carbon blade here, says “hand washing recommended” — and that is the correct one. A dishwasher is a hot alkaline bath and a long damp cool-down, which is how carbon steel spots.
What is not published
No warranty, where three peelers here publish one. No blade guard. No replaceable blade — only OXO Pro.

The questions that come in
Why does having both shapes help?
Because they are different tools and no listing on this shelf explains which to buy. An I-peeler — a swivel peeler — holds the blade in line with the handle: you pull it toward you along the vegetable and the pivoting head follows the curve, which gives control on small round produce like new potatoes, apples, ginger and carrots. A Y-peeler holds the blade across the handle: you plane with it, taking a wider swath on a longer stroke, which is far faster on big items — butternut squash, celeriac, swede — and is what professional kitchens reach for. Most people own one and quietly dislike it for half their peeling. FUHUY gives you both for $9.99, which is less than the single Y-shaped OXO Julienne on this shelf.
Can carbon steel really go in the dishwasher?
No, and this shelf contradicts itself on exactly that. FUHUY publishes "dishwasher safe" on a carbon steel blade. KITCHPOWER, the only other carbon blade here, publishes "hand washing recommended" — and that is the right advice. Carbon steel is iron with carbon and no chromium, which is precisely why it hardens further and takes a keener edge than most stainless. It also means there is no passive chromium-oxide layer to protect it, so it rusts. A dishwasher is a hot strongly alkaline bath followed by a long damp cool-down — the ideal conditions for spotting. Both listings describe their blades as rustproof or rust-free; only one draws the correct conclusion. Wash it by hand and dry it immediately.
Is a zinc alloy body better than plastic?
Heavier, stiffer and less likely to flex, and only two listings on this shelf offer it. FUHUY states a "zinc alloy body guaranteed non-rust"; OXO Pro at $17.95 is "constructed of sturdy, die-cast zinc". Everything else here is ABS or unstated plastic. What a metal frame buys you is rigidity at the blade mount: the force of peeling tries to twist the head, and a plastic frame flexes a little more each year until the blade sits at a slightly wrong angle and stops cutting cleanly. Zinc does not. It also adds weight — this pack is 142 g (5 oz) for two peelers and the OXO Pro is 113 g (4 oz) on its own, the heaviest single peeler here against 59 g (2.1 oz) for the lightest.
