Tested with plums hard skin and core sticking to the flesh, the device meets its limits. Many flesh hand with the kernel, then the kernel or is not removed, but my conditions were difficult for Stoner. By cons, whatever fruits, position them one by one in the hollow under the blade (no tray on which it could lay the fruit pit and just guide them one by one). But compared with a stoner "one-handed", saving time and fatigue economy are really important. The materials are high quality, there is no fear that the blade breaks for example. Also, very easy to clean because everything comes apart. In short, really bine but could be better, even with fruit "less painful" than mine!
