I'm not sure what the confusion is in regards to avocado size. so far it works for all avocado i tried.the thin metal frame makes it easier to scoop and execute, compare to the plastic/thick frame ones which i like to call the MASHERs (bought a lot of those none works well).the seed/core remover does remove the seed and at the same time pitch it across the room at 100km/h, so no, don't rely on it unless you have someone with a mitt ready to catch it.

Arrived quickly and is of good quality materials but the slicer seems to just mash the avocado not slice it as expected. Could be I prefer my avocados riper than the product is meant for.

The best avocado slicer for you!I first saw an avocado slicer at my family Christmas and knew I had to order one. I make guacamole about once a week and have been acknowledged at many parties that the guacamole I make is some of the best around. I learned this special recipe while working in Texas, in a town with strong Mexican heritage. This product has allowed me to make guacamole faster and taste better.In making guacamole, the struggle is always being able to scoop the entire avocado off the skin. If you make guacamole often, the AMCO avocado slicer and pitter is a must. The design allows the user to completely separate the avocado from the skin in one quick movement. It takes some time to perfect the technique, but once you do, it is a breeze to process avocados. For example, in a big batch of guacamole, I would normally have to purchase 10 avocados. With this product I can make the same amount with only 9. Not only is it quick and easy, but it also saves money by retrieving more of the avocado from the skin.The other great benefit that this product offers is that it will easily slice the avocado into narrow strips. These strips make it much easier to mash the avocado into guacamole. By not having to mash as much, the guacamole’s taste and texture will be perfect. On occasion (1 in every 10 avocados) the slices are not as neat as they could be. This will not matter in making guacamole, but if you were using it to make slices on a salad, it may not look as orderly. Nonetheless, the worst slices from the AMCO avocado slicer are still better than any slice cut with just a knife.Another great feature of this product is the pitter on the other end. This tool is able to scoop out that pesky pit in a mater of seconds. Some people might use a knife to dig it out, but that adds a risk of hurting yourself. With the pitter, the danger is eliminated and is safe for people to use. The pitter does add some length to the overall tool and makes it somewhat bulky, but it’s a feature worth having.On top of everything, once you have finished making the perfect batch of guacamole, simply put the AMCO slicer and pitter in the dishwasher. It is designed so that no food particles get stuck and comes out clean every time. It does cost a little more than other products but it is built to last. It is well worth your money to get a quality product that will allow you to slice avocados one after another for years. If you want a kitchen tool that will improve your guacamole making skills, this is the product for you. Have fun making the perfect guacamole!

It's worked on Avocados yes, but I had this hardboiled egg that needed slicing for my sandwich and instead of using that plastic dirty old and defective white basic egg slicer, I used the slicer of this Avocado Slicer right in my hand while holding the egg, and falling the pieces over my bread.It's such a strong device and holding it is very comfortable while working on the Avocado or the Hard Boiled Egg. The pitter took out a small pit from the avocado and if you want you can also scoop out the yellow middle Sun of the hardboiled egg halves as well. They could make a white colored one and call it an Egg in Hand Slicer & Sun Remover, or something.And also if you don't mind, chunks of cheese in your hand, could also use the slicing part of this Avocado Slicer, just push the cheese chunks through for quick handling of feeding snacks to guests or yourself, or whenever. It's a wonderful, looks great with all the other kitchen gadgets and devices of multipurpose-ness like this one, so I Love it.

we eat a lot of avocados in our house. For our workouts, it is a good supplement to some GOOD fat as well as healthy for our hearts when eaten in moderation.Peeling and slicing avocado, however, has always been a pain in our butts as we always have problems smushing at least some(sometimes all, when too ripe) of the avocados.A good avocado is delicate and soft, but unless we want guacamole each time, a mashed avocado isn't that appealing on top of crisp Romaine lettuce and tomatoes.Along comes this slicer that makes slicing the avocado easier.With a nice ripe avocado, this slicer can go through it with ease. It does leave a little bit behind(but not as much as when we scoop it out with spoons and try to slice it). With some practice, we can almost scoop the HAAS clean right against the skin leaving very little waste.Avocados are not cheap products so every little bit helps save money.~~~~~~~~~~how to use it:one would still have to use a knife to slice the avocado in half. Then use the corer from the slicer to take out the pit.placing the slicer along the wide end and scraping in one smooth motion without stopping seems to create the best results.not all of the slices come off the first half. So we just keep at it untill all the halves have been sliced as each of the new halves that get sliced help get the residues from the last halves out.with the very last half, we push it out gently using our palms.It is also a great egg salad slicer. Pushing a boiled egg through it on the wide end, then turn the egg around and run it through again to create small cubes. Simple and fast!~~~~~~~~~~I can see why some people would deem this just another gadget in the kitchen, and it can become one if you only eat avocados ever so often. And if when you do, you make guacamole, this slicer is not for you.But if you are looking to eat healthier and like avocados on your salads, as slices on top of some triscuits(delicious! and make great horse do overs[hors d'oeuvres] for parties!), just by themselves, this slicer is a great aid.
