Nice design, is small when not in use, easy to clean, heavy construction with a good grip, it has it all. The interior coating of the cup, rubber, facilitates the sliding of the olive. The rear flap and lock will shut the machine becomes easier to store. I pitted black olives, tiny and large green more recalcitrant asking more strength, without difficulty, because the wide brim of the cup allows a more energetic pressure. A small reserve, however: if the oil that washes the olives handle wet, it becomes slippery. When I have to pit one kg of cherries to the string I use the stoner Leifheit, faster.
