Easiest tool for preparing avocados
This tool makes avocado slicing easy and quick. I bought one of these again recently after the previous one of the same model had worn out after many years of use. One of the pieces on the slicing side broke and the plastic was becoming discolored black despite cleaning thoroughly every time. But like I said, it had been used frequently for many years. I'm actually pretty surprised it held up that long. It was a no-brainer to toss it and get a new one because it works so well. I like specialized kitchen tools, but too many of them can take up too much space in the drawers and cabinets. This one is easily worth the space for my frequent avocado habit.

Must have if you eat a lot of avocados
Got this for the hubby who is on an avocado kick, and he loves it. I'd have to agree because it means a lot less mess in the kitchen every time he wants avocado. The 'knife' end works well to cut open the avocado skin without bruising the flesh. The seed remover is simple and quick to use, and much safer than using a sharp knife to whack at the seed and try to pry/pull it out. The slicer end gives nice, even pieces of avocado. I like it because it saves time when dicing it up. The tool is easy to clean. Because it is plastic, I either hand wash or put on the top rack of the dishwasher so it doesn't warp or crack from the heat.This tool also works great for those with trouble gripping due to arthritis, hand pain, shaky hands, or small hands (like kids). It's easier and safer to handle than a small knife. My young nephew loves eating plain avocado halves, and he is able to use this on his own. We don't have to worry about him trying to grab an avocado for a snack and cutting himself accidentally. The little metal points on the seed grabber are sharp, but he's been taught to not touch and avoid those. He really doesn't even come near them at all when using this tool, but kids are kids and they are curious. Well worth it just for the safety factor.

Safer, Faster, Easier!
I have had a few close calls almost cutting myself with a knife trying to remove avocado pits or accidentally poking through the skin while trying to slice. The plastic cutting tool and rounded slicer as well as the pitting tool that doesn't allow you to slip a blade and cut yourself, makes me a lot more confident and efficient when preparing avocados. I'm always in a rush to get food ready and now I can be in a rush without fear I'm going to lose a finger! I like that it can go in the dishwasher. I would have bought something just for removing the pit because that was the hardest part for me, but this is basically three tools in one so its compact if I wanted to take it camping or something. Its pretty intuitive and easy to use!

Safer than using a knife.
It cuts avocados open safely and allows for the seed to be twisted loose and removed. The slicer works easily if the avocado was not too small, nor too hard.

Is it worth the purchase?
Well that depends on your perspective of need vs. want and how often you eat avocados. For our family, this device replaces three tools (large knife for seed removal, small knife for slicing avocado inside skin, and large spoon for scooping out the avocado meat). It can be daunting to have to maneuver and clean this many tools every single time we eat an avocado, and for us it is almost daily.Finding this 3-in-1 tool by Oxo made me giddy; but, left me wondering if it were more of a gimmick than a tool. I took the plunge and purchased it solely on the reputations of Oxo as a developer of intuitive, well-made kitchen utensils and Amazon's solid return policy should this item be ineffective for my needs.This investment has paid off. Right out of the package I could feel the durability and stout structure of the utensil. I have small hands and find this tool to be a bit big for my handling; but, the more I use it the more I adapt, and the more impressed I become with it's ingenuity. The end that cuts through the avocado skin, although a thick plastic, penetrates the avocado skin like softened butter. The seed extraction blades worried me at first as they are blunt with no sharp ends; however, they sink into avocado seeds with great ease. Releasing the seed from it's blading counterparts is no longer a dangerous activity for myself or the sink. As for the slicing spooned end of this tool: the plastic is stout and stronger than well-made plastic butter knives and is definitely better quality than a similar device I purchased made by Cook's; inserting the spooned end, slicing, then scooping is easy enough as the plastic cuts through the avocado meat like softened butter. The only issue I have ran into is dealing with stem strings that come through the stem into the avocado meat; but, I feel that this issue is more of a learning curve in use of this tool than a reflection on the tool itself.As for cleaning, prevention is always the best bet, simply rinse the entire utensil off directly after using it and you will avoid the headache of dried avocado meat stuck in small crevices. With regards to product improvement... at this point in time I see none to be had. Time will tell as to the longevity of this tool. A stainless steel version (18:8 or 18:10) would be splendid; but, until such is placed on the market, I will continue to revel in the ingenuity of this existing avocado tool and remain appreciative to Oxo for their intuitive creativity!

It really works
When I looked at it and decided to order it I was skeptical if it would actually work. Well, it really does. It is so easy to use. The cutting side, even though it doesn’t look like it would cut around the pit, it does! The center is used to remove the pit and the back side has a hole to just push it out. The slicer works well too. Nice kitchen gadget.Highly recommend!

Be careful!
Gave three stars because my husband sliced off part of his thumb using this and he is an avid cook and no stranger to the kitchen.
