Life saver when you buy pounds of cherries to process!
I bought this to process a box of cherries I had bought for jam making and freezing. Worked really well. Easy to learn how to use and removed pits successfully 90% of the time. I just made sure that before I put the cherries in the pot that I counted the pits - no big deal! I processed 32 pounds of cherries with this in 2 days time and it is still going strong! If you eat a lot of cherries, you need this.

A cherry must have!
Great gadget! Pots 7 cherries at one time! It does take a little muscle to push down to pit the cherries, but once you do it a couple times you get a rhythm. I actually punched down twice to make sure the pits pushed out. Easy clean up.

more than a kitchen toy
I thought this would by your typical one time use gadget but we had a bumper crop of cherries this year. Pitting them for pies or the freezer is a real pain if done one by one. This speeded up the process considerably. My only quibble is that you have to use a lot of pressure when pushing down on it to get a clean result. Otherwise, a great stocking stuffer or Santa gift those that love cherries (or olives).

Cherry pitter has room for improvement
Effectiveness: Pitting tool inconsistently drops the cherry pits into tray. I found it best to count the pits to verify there was a pit for each cherry. If not, I held my hand over the cherries and flipped the tray holding them over as the pits were usually pushed out but failed to 100% seperate and drop into pit tray. We processed 3 partial freezer bags of Bing cherries and out of that amount there were at least 10 times that we had to hunt through the actual cherries for the missing pit because the tool completely side stepped the pit. Watch for little pit size circles of cherry flesh in pit container making the pit count a bit questionable.Cleaning: Wishing the plate that covers the machine would be removable so the internal working could be properly cleaned and dried.

Works great and saves time.
This did a great job of pitting cherries. A tedious job was made quite easy with this tool. It took minutes to clean a large amount of fruit instead of hours. I highly recommend it. It does require a little muscle in pressing the top down though.

Cherry Pitter to the Rescue
I had purchased a case of red cherries and needed to pit them to get them processed. This cherry pitter really made that job easy. We were able to pit the whole case in what seemed like no time. Cleaning was super easy, this is dishwasher safe. I definitely recommend this cherry pitter to anyone needing one.
