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.

Wish I had owned this 30 years ago
What a little beauty. I bought this about the time we started getting the beautiful fresh cherries in the grocery store. As usual, I planned all sorts of dishes with the little darlings until reality set in and I realized that the cherry pitter I had been using was reluctant, at best. I hate pitting cherries by hand. I found this little gem on Amazon and it has been worth it's weight in cherry pie. Ok, it's not equal to pennicillin, but to my mind, it is a worth while invention.
