Did good on the kiwi too, and they're a bitch to peel.
Do they make a cheap home version?

No idea, http://www.zti.nl/en/catalogue/fruit-solutions/1

Neat, but I don't think I can justify it for my single kiwi vine, even if I do get around 5 large grocery bags full of kiwi off it per year!

Don't you just cut it in half and scoop out the guts?

I want one. You could cut tons of orangefilets in half the time!

Yeah, but it's harder than that sounds, especially when you're talking about doing that over 1000 times.
I do have a knifey/spooney that helps with the job (a Kiwi invention I think) automation would still be worth investigating...especially if it works on apples too, I have 30 trees!

The skin of kiwi fruit is edible, and my colleagues from New Zealand eat them skin and all.

UGH! I tried that once. I got a tongue covered in kiwi fur/hairs. I'm not falling for that again! ;-)
Really, we split them then dehydrate them. They last way longer that way (although keeping a kiwi isn't a problem, they don't ripen until you put them in a bag with an apple...I've kept ripe ones on the vine for months with no effect.). It also shrinks them by over 1/2.

Now that's what I'm talkin bout! I'll have to buy one of those at $4.50! Thanks

The loose hairs should wash off, or maybe they just don't stick to your tongue when wet. Ugh is about the reaction of most Aussies though.
