Product Description:

With the OXO Good Grips Cherry Pitter, baking cherry pies, canning cherries and making homemade preserves are no longer the pits. The Cherry Pitter features a removable splatter shield that directs juices downward and prevents them from soiling your work area. When not in use, the splatter shield fits inside the front chamber and a lock holds the Cherry Pitter closed for convenient storage. Sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease, and soft, comfortable non-slip handles absorb pressure while you squeeze. The cherry holder is extra large to accommodate Bing and Rainier cherries and has a recessed cup to securely hold smaller varieties when pitting. Also try the Cherry Pitter to prepare fresh cherries for small children. The Cherry Pitter should be placed in the dishwasher in its unlocked position.

almost great
Got this for cherry season - works well but sometimes the pusher doesn't push the seed all the way out and you have to pull it - this gets really tedious when pitting enough cherries for 3 pies at a time. Other than that it has a good feel in the hand and does get the job done better than manually with a chopstick.

Best design I've ever seen in cherry pitters
I love this cherry pitter. I used to have an older style that my grandmother used. On this pitter, the top of the rod that actually pushed the pit out looked sort of like the control end of a dental syringe. It wasn't great, but it was a hell of a lot easier than trying to push pits out with a wooden skewer. When I went to replace that pitter, I was a little dazed by sticker shock (I expected to find one similar to the one I used to have and pay maybe $5-6). I only found this model but was desperate and forked over the money. Well, it turned out to be worth every penny. I bought 4 lbs. of cherries because they were on sale and I wanted to make some pies. I pitted the entire batch in about 40 minutes. Amazing! Ten minutes per pound -- and that was on my first run while I was still working on my technique of using the device. I'm very happy with this pitter. :) Works well on the few varieties of olives I've tried too.

Very annoyed
I had this for a while and after trying to modify it to get it to actually work, I gave up and bought the KitchenAid version. This pitter seems nice but works only 50% of the time simply because the shaft is about 1/2 and inch too short. It does not clear the hole for the pit and so half the time the pit is left still connected to the cherry.

Very annoying, otherwise it seems like a nice product, but because the shaft is just a bit to sort it does not work.

A MUST-HAVE tool for every kitchen!!!!!
I bought this pitter based on the reviews here and I am very happy with it. It's a tool no kitchen should be without, kids or not. Cherries are pitted easily. Occasionally, it does miss a pit or 2, but not enough to be a problem. You could go through a whole bag of cherries effortlessly with this tool. I didn't get a whole lot of juice on my hands while using the product, only when picking the pits up out of the sink. No regrets on this purchase. Great product, great price! No need to buy a more expensive pitter.

So easy...
I love this pitter. We have a cherry tree in our backyard and I get tired of pitting the cherries for my three year-old and all the other neighborhood kids. This pitter is so easy to use that even my preschooler can use it. He loves to pit his own cherries and with the shield, I feel it is safe for him to do it.
