I bought this cherry pitter with the intention of having a "production line" cherry pitter. While it does make the job much easier, I still have to monitor to make sure each cherry is actually pitted each time and that the pit falls into the collection device. It's not 100% foolproof, and the cherries don't just fall into place in the pitter each time you depress the handle, but it does make the job much easier (and less messy). Overall, I'm glad I bought it.

I was unsure at first when I used the product, but once I developed a rhythm it went quickly and I was thrilled. I went through about 10 lbs of cherries in about 35 mins.

I tried this out last night on some sour (pie) cherries. Because they are so small I had to feed them into the hopper one at a time, otherwise they'd crowd into the chamber three at a time. Even with this slow-down I found this faster and cleaner than pitting with a hand-held pitter. Only one cherry failed to pit, but a far more common problem was for the pit to tumble out of the chute still slightly attached to the cherry; this happened about 1 in 20 times. This is easy to see if you keep your eye on the cherries as they come out. I am pretty paranoid about missing a pit (I fear cracking my own, or worse, someone else's tooth) so I took it slow and watched each cherry.

I think this will work much better on sweet cherries.

Honest reviews on Leifheit 37200 Cherrymat Cherrystone Remover

The quality of this cherry stoner seems quite good, but although a hole appears in every cherry, it sometimes misses the pit. Consequently, when I first used it, many of my guests encountered some pits in their cherry cobbler. The next time I did it much more slowly and, although there were a few stones left, it was much better.

Although this is faster than a small single cherry stoner, you can't just quickly stone all of the cherries in the hopper or you'll end up with too many pits (at least with the large Costco cherries I was using).

Works great, if anything you may need to slow down in case you miss a pit. This is easy to clean and I have not had any problems. I pitted roughly 75 pounds of cherries, well worth the money spent.
