Newer =/= better. It is more compact, but now has no ridges to help with grip. The potato eye remover can be used with either hand, but requires you to hold the peeler at a very unusual angle to get the right kind of leverage. I tried removing eyes on 5 potatoes and ended up with more scrapes trying to remove the eyes. That said, I've got big hands, so maybe these aren't dealbreakers for you.

Great peeler. Soft grip on handle helps with minimizing slippage while using. Can’t go wrong with oxo products.

love it

Great peeler. Ergonomic

this awesome peeler nice and sharp

It is nice and sharp and has a good grip. I peeled my eggplants in seconds with such ease.
