The Sausage Maker - Stainless Steel Deluxe Cherry Pitter - Heavy Duty Multi Pit Removal Tool - 5 at Once Capacity - Includes Catching Container

This is the best cherry pitter ever!!! I pit 5-8 cases per year (18lbs each) this pitter makes light work of it!!! I would buy it again. I freeze dry them and freeze them & also dehydrate them.

Easy assembly, easy cleaning. Works better than all the other cherry pitters I've ever tried. I used it with big sweet cherries, and it worked great. Warning: some pits will survive, but far less than with all other pitters I've used. Plan to use it next year from the very start of cherry season.

Doesn't work with smaller cherries. Cherries are snagged by the plungers and are not removed after they stick. Cherries no longer look like cherries, they look more like they went through a blender. Operation is slow.

Where has this been all my life!??!?! We have two abundantly producing cherry trees. We put over 25 gallons of pie cherries in the freezer this year. I bought this machine half way through the harvest. It cut our processing time by 3/4! I couldn't be happier. Only issue was that the pitter does tear the cherries up a bit more than my single pitter. And doesn't always release the cherry. We tried the tape trick posted by another reviewer and it worked great. We're trying to figure out some type of more permanent fix so the cherries release better.

4 cherry trees so using my new cherry putter was great. Very easy to setup, get pitting and then cleanup. Only change I added was to use aluminum rectangle pan to catch seeds and a smaller tray for cherries that fall out while pitting. Life got much easier this season.

This beats pitting with a straw. I would highly recommend this to anyone!!

After trying a plastic hand-held pitter, which immediately broke, and then a plastic tray pitter, which also immediately broke, I bought this stainless steel pitter. Yes, it costs much, much more, and it's bulky to store, but it really does pit cherries quickly and successfully and it's fun to use, no less. I have now canned 30 lbs. of brandied Bing cherries, which would have been nearly impossible without this cherry pitter. Wear black (to prevent cherry stains) and know that juicy cherries will make quite a mess on your kitchen counter.

Absolutely junk. It is not even worth a penny. Everything uses the lowest grade/cheapest sheet metal that are not stable and useless. After doing only one pound of tart cherry all my problems started. It either gets stuck or shoots the pit 10 ft with a splash pattern on the floor. Even the first lb had about 10% pit in it. Which makes it worthless for pitting cherry. It is a health danger for breaking your teeth or swallowing the pit. I am returning mine asap. Also the item doesn't include the pit catcher as it is shown on the picture.
