I can only reinforce the comments of others, excellent pitter, works quickly and removes the stone and stem cleanly, does not take a chuck of pulp with it.
Very productive and clean to use, no juice splatter etc. I mainly use it on sweet cherries, i find no problem with the size of cherries, they just fit in when the device is fully open, a clean press and out pops the stone and stem. Outstanding.
Excellent tool, i was about to buy a second one, but see the price has tripled since i bought one, so i will wait.

Perfect for Nanking cherries (with mods)
While it may be a bit on the small side for regular sweet cherries (I have a cherry chopper for those), it works perfect for our many Nanking cherries, which are small and have a small pit. However it needs a little modification to really do a great job. First is to get rid of the piece that limits how far down the plunger can go. The plunger needs to come all the way down through the cup. I just clamped a vice-grip on it and bent it back and forth until it snapped off.Then there is the cup itself. The hole is a bit too large for a nanking cherry, many times it just drops through. So I took a standard 1/4 inch washer and modified it to fit into the cup. First I took a 1/4 inch bolt and clamped it upright tight in my bench vise. Then I screwed a 1/4 nut down part way on to it. Then I placed the 1/4 in washer loosely over on top of the nut. Then I took a 1/2 in. nut and placed it over the top of the washer and hit it a number of times with a heavy hammer. This bent the outside edge of the washer down and made it into a cup shape.I took the now cup shaped washer and glued it into the bowl of the pitter. This made the exact right shape to hold the cherry, yet the 1/4 in. hole was the right size to let the small pits go through. Voila! The perfect Nanking cherry pitter. Would probably work for small sour cherries as well.

I have a pie (sour) cherry tree that produces buckets of fruit every year. Most cherry pitters work well for large (sweet) cherries, but the plunger of those units often doesn't hit pie cherries in the right spot. This pitter is just the ticket. I hold the cherry by the stem, slip it into the pitter through the slot in the base, then snick...the pit says with the stem and I let the cherry drop into a bowl (with a little vitamin C to prevent browning). 100% pit removal on the first try for ~5 lbs of cherries today.
Pros:
- Sized perfectly for small cherries (pie/sour cherries).
- The entire plunger has a + shaped cross section: this pushes out the pit without punching out a big plug of fruit. Some other pitters have a curved cylindrical plunger with a + end that tends to pop out a chunk of cherry into the waste bowl.
- The slotted tab above the base allows the plunger to retract, releasing the cherry after pitting (dropping the fruit into a bowl).
- Nice casting with a non-stick coating (easy to clean by hand).
- Lacks the annoying locking mechanism featured in many pitters. (A small plastic collar is included if you like to keep the pitter closed during storage.)
- The price can't be beat.
Cons:
- Might be a bit small for large, sweet cherries.
