Ease of Use
Pros:
"This tool is so easy to use and so easy to clean."
"Both the scooper and smasher were easy to clean under running water."
"The opener is really easy to use, no more risking cutting myself!"
"The little green knife part works surprisingly well for slicing the avocado open."
"The knife part works better than expected."
"It's easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher."
"The tool is SUPER easy to clean, which I wasn't expecting because it got absolutely covered in avocado goop lol."
Cons:
"This item was difficult to use. It seems as though the spaces were too far apart and it didn't give a clean cut through the avocado."
"The pit-puller does not work on smaller and not evenly halved avocados."
"The slicer feature... success will depend on the fruit size."
"The tool isn’t flexible enough to work well on smaller ones."
"The knife is too short to work at all."
"The slicer side works perfectly, even if the avo isn't fully ripe. No issues."
"The part of the tool to remove avocado pits doesn't work on all size of pits, didn't work on the tiny avocado variety I get."
Safety
Pros:
"I was really concerned about his cutting his hand or slicing a tendon - especially when he was digging the pit out."
"I was skeptical of the thick plastic as a cutter, but it punctures and slices the avocado with ease, without the fear of cutting my hand."
"The plastic blade on this device is better and safer."
"Never need to afraid of an avocado anymore! It slide right in the avo and super easy to pick the seed out."
"The plastic blade is strong/sharp enough to cut through the peel of the avocado and the back half allows easy removal of the seed."
"It’s a safer way to take out the pit of the avocado."
"This knife is literally a hand saver."
Cons:
"However, if the avocado is even close to ripe (which is when they are usually consumed) it just mashes the avocado."
"The blade isn't sharp enough to easily cut avocado skin."
"The blade can still cut you."
"The blade is weak and destroys your avocado when trying to remove the seed."
"The seed remover has to be pressed so hard into the flesh it smooshes it."
"The part to slice the avocado was terrible. It smashed the avocado and made a mess."
"On an avocado that is too hard, the corer will not decore the avocado, only chew it up a little."
Design and Durability
Pros:
"Like most OXO products, this thing rocks the Casbah!"
"This will be part of my holiday present to everyone this year."
"It worked perfectly! I’m so pleased and will most likely order more to use as stocking stuffers."
"Like most OXO products, this one is well thought out and well designed."
"It is a sturdy piece of equipment, and is extremely easy to clean."
"Oxo makes quality products and this one did not disappoint."
"The plastic is very durable and has held up after a lot of use and washes."
Cons:
"Also, know that it will warp under the heat if placed in the lower level of a dishwasher. It must be placed on the top level."
"The plastic avocado slicer will more mash than slice, so you have to scrape the avocado off of it."
"Running through the full wash-rinse-dry cycle of our specific dishwasher melted this thing into a Frankenstein avocado tool."
"After two years of ownership the 'fan blade' cracked and can't use it anymore."
"It should have been made of stainless steel rather than plastic."
"The fan blades are not easy to clean. Avocado residue remains on them even after washing in the dishwasher."
"It says it is top rack dishwasher safe and it is not."
Functionality
Pros:
"100% worth it for the pit remover. Quick and easy way to remove the pit!"
"The pit remover takes the pit out cleanly."
"The small metal blades grab the pit and it comes out easily with a slight twist."
"The slicing feature removes the avocado flesh, leaving only the skin."
"It plucks the pit out very well without effort."
"The best part of this gadget is the pit remover blades."
"The pitting tool on this works perfectly!"
Cons:
"The rows of avocado do not come out as perfect as shown, if you are using a ripe avocado."
"The grid sort of mashes the avocado, but I don't really care, I just slice it with the blade instead."
"The avocado slices tend to slick in the slicer. You have to push the slices through the slicer with a finger or spoon."
"The grill to slice out avo? Nah. It'll get about 80% of it fine, but it'll struggle on the rest."
"The slices seldom come out cleanly, and I have to push and flex the skin against the slicer to get all the avocado through and sliced."
"The avocado falls apart and there is pasty remains in between the rows left."
"The other side that slices the avocado is difficult to use and not very effective."
