"Perfect for smaller amounts of cherries"
This Cherry pitter works very nice except for the occasional stuck pit that does not get seperated from the cherry. The splash gard works well but you still want to hold it down into the sink. The grip feels very nice in the hand. Easy to wash out. Would definetly buy again.

"Marvelous Invention"
I love cherries. This cherry pitter makes it a breeze to pit them. The splash guard reduces the splatter of cherry juice. I hold my hand under the guard to make sure the pit comes out; as a result any remaining splash goes into my hand. On the rare occasions the pit remains in the cherry, it's an easy job just to pick it out once the cherry is removed.

The tool is easy to grip and use and after washing, the splater shield can be removed and locked in place. As a result, the tool storage space is reduced.

I already ordered three of these gadgets, one for me and the rest as gifts. My boyfriend bought one too and he loves it. My boyfriend tried it on olives and says that works too.

It's also great as a wedding gift for those gadget or kitchen baskets a bride may have. Rarely will anyone think of giving such an item so it's not likley to be a duplicate.

Most people who enjoy eating or baking with cherries will love this kitchen tool.

"I love it!"
I was killing my thumb removing cherry pits. This really works. It's amazing! I plan to give it as christmas gifts to my friends and family.

"Yep... it actually works."
Economical and effective... I'm satisfied.

8 or 9 cherries out of 10 are pitted perfectly without additional assistance. I pitted a whole bag of cherries in a matter of minutes. The cherries aren't squashed and the pits pop right out of the bottom. The whole thing is no larger than a can opener, doesn't require much force/pressure to use and works great -- RECOMMENDED.

"All the enjoyment...None of the nuisance."
I think this is a terrific product. I have always like OXO products and this is no exception. I cannot compare it to other cherry pitters since this is the first one I have ever used but I am very pleased with my purchase. I have always just eaten around the pit and tossed them out, or placed them in a trash bowl as I went, which never seemed like too much trouble. However, now that i have a four year old I was worried (of course) about him choking on the pits and trying to take them out for him made a huge mess so i looked on line and found this cherry pitter.

I chose this one partly because I had been so pleased with OXO in the past and part for the reviews on the splash guard. I found it pretty effortless to use, not much hand pressure needed. I had no trouble lining it up, the pits came right out and there was no splatter or mess which was great.

As a plus I have noticed how much more I have enjoyed cherry season this year now that i can simply remove all the pits in the kitchen and sit down to enjoy a nice big bowl without constantly managing the pits!

I would definitely buy this again and suggest it for friends.
