Rating: - TERRIBLE
This is a TERRIBLE cherry pitter. I paid WAY too much money for it at an upscale kitchen gadget shop but thought that I would make the investment terrible mistake. The plunger has fallen out and comes out with each cherry. I have tried to glue, and fix and nothing works. It really is a poorly made piece of junk.
Rating: - Not much good as an olive pitter.
The design doesn't cut the flesh cleanly. I end up with smashed pieces and large portions still stuck to the pit.
Rating: - Agree with Negative Reviews - Piece O' Junk
I had the same experience as reported in all the negative reviews. Works great at first, but then the "plunger" fell off the second time I tried it. This obvious design flaw is all the more disappointing, since it would otherwise be an excellent and worthy kitchen gadget.
Rating: - Definitely not for Olives!
I bought this primarily as an olive stoner. It is possible that it might work on very small olives, but the big green Italian kind I buy in large tins are almost impossible to insert into the pitter in the first place, and then the plunger goes off center just enough to jam the stone. As an aside, the not so clever metal hinge stopper on the end which is supposed to keep the thing closed when not in use is badly cast and simply will not work. This is a piece of junk, even, I suspect, for cherries.
Rating: - Cherry pitter is the pits
I bought this and paid good money for it thinking that it would last forever. First the arm kept coming out and then the bottom holder completely broke off. I was very disappointed with this pitter.
