This is the worst kitchen gadget I have ever used. I thought this would be really cool, but I was wrong. I used a wire version once and liked it, and I felt like a total retard for wasting my money on this plastic POS. This will mash your avocados instead of slice them, then you'll work twice as hard trying to clean the darned thing. Just use a knife, or if you must have a gadget try the wire one. I thought about giving this away or putting it in the box destined for charity, then decided to throw it in the garbage instead in order to save somebody else from having a frustrating time using it.

I used an avocado smaller than the tool, so I had to uncomfortably squeeze the tool until it'd fit. Then it kind of smooshed my avocado into slices that were not attractive, while leaving a layer of unused avocado in the shell.
It made me realize that it's not *that* hard to slice an avocado with a paring knife... oh well.

I absolutely loved this gadget as soon as I got it. You're not going to get it right on your first avocado, but once you figure it out, you'll have perfect slices every time.

You must squeeze it to the size of your avocado, then scoop really deep to get all the flesh.

I use this even when I want to mash my avocado, because it works better than a spoon to get everything out. If I do miss some, I just go back and scoop some more.

I took away a star because if you don't wash it immediately, it's very hard to clean and it just gets more and more nasty over time. Mine is badly discolored now. (I eat a lot of avocados.) This hasn't affected the performance, though.

We have a 25-foot avocado tree, so when the fruit matures, we are eating them constantly for five months. This tool is perfect for the size and shape of our avocados, which is larger than the "Haas" but smaller than the typical Florida variety. Most of the time, the flesh comes out in one swipe. I have one for myself, and with this purchase, sent 3 to our family up north for Thanksgiving (with avocados, of course!). They all have told me they love it, too!

I bought one of these as a replacement for a wire avocado slicer. What a mistaker. It deos not work well with smaller Hass avocados, and at best, mangles the fruit. Stick with the wire version. I would give this a "0" if I could

The concept sounds great--flexible plastic--but I still can't get mine to work! Seems stainless steel prongs, long ones, would work best.

Easy to use becuase so flexible. Fits into normal to small avocados well. I gave four as gifts to friend and family.

I wish I had read Bob H's review before I bought this....he's pretty accurate. To add insult to injury, I actually paid twice as much for this thing at Border's. Definitely go with a metal version, because the plastic doesn't work at ALL. It cuts about a third of the way down and then smashes the rest of the avocado. You have to struggle to get all of the avocado out and then you just have to use a fork to get what's left over anyway. And cleaning the stupid thing is a royal pain. I'll just stick with the old-fashioned knife and fork routine...works best.

I was a little sceptical when I bought this. Its plastic, its 6 bucks but it worked great! It did exactly what I wanted. I wasn't looking for perfect slices of avacado because I used this to make guacamole. It was so easy to use and got every bit of flesh out of the avacado. I highly recommend this!

The product is better than using a spoon but not the best on the market at the moment.
