Works perfectly!
I used to buy mangoes and end up throwing them out because I never ate them. It was too much of a hassle to peel, core and eat them. Now that I have this, I eat mangoes all the time.

Awesome mango tool
I love mangoes but could never have them at home. They are so difficult to separate from the pit and peel. By the time I was finished I had a pile of mango puree on the cutting board. This tool makes it so easy to split the mango in half and separate it from the pit. Then all you need is a sharp knife to cut it into manageable slices.

Awesome
I was a bit skeptical, but decided to try this product. I love it!!!! It works so easy and nice, no mess. It makes cutting up mangos so easy and hardly any waste.

GREAT product
I always have had a hard time cutting mangos. Getting the fruit out was never an easy thing to do. This mango slicer solved all those problems and I now use this easy to use gadget to cut my mangos to close to perfection. I would highly recommend it to anyone that loves mangos as much as I do.

Disappointing results, beautiful color!
I wanted this to work, but for me, it didn't. Seems that all the mango pitts were too large and the blade stopped at the top of the pitt! Also, super slippery to keep the fruit on end once the juice started flowing! I took it back. A knife works best for me: slice off the sides of the mango with skin in tact, make diamond cuts to the skin (not through) push the skin up then 'filet' the chunks off. Fast! You then trim the flesh from the pitt. Can do a mango in about 4-6 slices off the pitt and the flesh is not mangled. Just get yourself a great knife... and you'll have more room in that gadget drawer!

best proprietary kitchen tool ever
I normally loathe kitchen tools which have only one use, but this is the exception! I eat a lot of mangoes and this mango pitter is worth the price and the space it takes up in my cabinet. I had seen it at Crate and Barrel and wondered how well it worked, then I saw Bobby Flay use it on Food Network and I was sold! I like to use a veggie peeler to take off the skin first then use the mango slicer. Then I can just eat the halves once I'm done coring it.

Love this prep tool!
I love making black bean mango salsa, but it was previously so time consuming trying to effectively remove the pit from the fruit. This mango pitter greatly accelerates the process. If you are asking yourself if you really need one more prep tool in your collection, this is a strong "yes" vote to help sway your decision.

Hasn't worked for me yet
I got this as a registry gift and thought it looked cute and fun to use. I've only tried using it twice, but so far it hasn't worked so well and I ended up cutting the mangoes with a knife. But i'm gonna hold out hope cuz it's a funny novelty item that i'd really like to work.

Can't get the hang of it
I'm new to eating mangoes and had been doing fine peeling them with a knife. I thought I would try the mango pitter and so far, I haven't gotten the hang of it. I've mangled most of the fruit with the pitter and end up using a knife. I'll keep trying.

Does the Trick!
I love this mango pitter. It saves a lot of time, and I find myself buying and enjoying mangoes far more often now that I have it. Yes, you still have to take a knife and draw cubes in the flesh, but it takes away the hardest part - the pit!

Works every time!
No more struggle to peel mangoes! Works every time!

If you love mangoes...
...then you gotta get one of these! Now if you eat a mango a season, then you don't need this product. But if you're like my husband, a mango fiend, well then, I don't know how you're living without this! True, there is still some flesh left on the top & bottom of the pit, and you do still have to peel the skin off, but you have two large halves that are meaty and ready to eat. Oh, and FYI, in case it wasn't obvious to you like it wasn't to me, put slicer on the TOP of the mango and slice down, not on the side and cut horizontally! You won't get too far that way!

every kitchen should have one
This pitter has taken the pain out of magoes! I love mangoes and would buy them often but the hassle of cutting them up often left them rotting on my counter. Now it's a snap.

Great for quick and easy food prep
This mango pitter is really great. The non slip handles make it really easy to cut through the tough mango skin and get to the yummy fruit.

This was an impulse purchase on my part. It is pretty handy but you still have to deal with the cubing of the mango and peeling it off of the skin. Not a big deal but would be nice if this corer just did everything for you. :)
