Elaborately created in the shape of panda, polar bear, rhinoceros, tiger, gorilla or animals which are in danger of extinction, this silicone kitchenware series strives to incorporate the environmental ethics in its brand philosophy.

I can tell you from my experience in retail that if you contact the manufacturer, they will want to make this right, especially a small company like this.

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn’t try it on olives. I figure if you have to check each cherry and find that 1 in 3 still has a pit, it really doesn’t always pit cherries.* Mess-free and kid-friendly device uses plunger-type actionOk, it’s kid friendly because it has a happy cherry chomper face on it. Kids will probably find this fun. It’s a MESS! I pitted 3 lbs of cherries and looked like I had committed murder–this thing squirts cherry juice, and the outside of the chomper looked like it was covered with blood. Wear an apron! The plunger-type action doesn’t always return to it’s open position so you can get the fruit out.* Pushes cherry pit and residual juice into bottom container of pitterIt sometimes pushes a cherry and some juice into the pit catcher. However, when the plunger thing gets stuck, you may end up with the bottom container in your hand and the chomper part in the other. It doesn’t stay together all that well.* Protective ‘tooth’ ensures hands and fingers won’t be touched by any componentsGranted, I did not get hurt using this. But the knife I had on hand to slice open each cherry after I got it out of the chomper could have cut me.* Dishwasher-safe; 6 inches tallIt is 6 inches tall. I rinsed it out and the little feet on the bottom immediately filled up with water, so I suspect if I run it in the dishwasher, it will fill with water.I have put off buying a cherry pitter because it’s a uni-tasker and I don’t buy cherries all that often. But, I got a gift card and decided to spend a part on this. I got the Chomper because my young nieces would enjoy using this. Well, they’ve not seen it yet–this thing’s a mess.I very seldom review this critically. This chomper is a waste of money!
