RADACutlery Deluxe Vegetable Peeler – Stainless Steel Blade With Aluminum Handle, 8-3/8 Inches

Q: Is there a disadvantage to the larger size? Does it make it harder to peel anything or is it just nicer to hold?

No...I love the larger size and after using it, the smaller one is awkward.

The larger handle and longer cutting surface makes big peeling chores easy.

Q: What is the diameter of the handle? or circumference it that's easier to measure?

Hi Ksenia, the Deluxe is the larger peeler and yes, it is 'egg shaped' so a bit difficult to get a diameter. The handle is 4 3/8 inches long, 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick (at the thickest part). Circumference is 2 1/4 inches.

Q: Why can't you put the Silver Brushed Aluminium handle in the dishwasher?

I imagine it's just the material of the handle. I accidentally put mine in the dishwasher and the handle turned dark gray and knobby. Still works fine, just not pretty anymore.
