This item was actually a gift for my mother but I have had the opportunity to use it a couple of times, and it is awesome!!
Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "How hard is it to slice an avocado,really?" I know! I thought the same thing before I used this tool. This is a great little tool by Chef'n, that perfectly slices nine thin uniform slices of avocado for you and also cuts it away from the skin as it does so!! How cool is that? Definitely worth a buy if you value thin uniform slices that make a nice presentation or if you are slicing a bunch of avocado for salads and burgers all summer long... zip, zip, zip, All done!!
The only thing I would recommend is, contrary to the instructions, start slicing your avocados from the narrower/smaller end. The handle is quite stiff so this makes it easier on you and it lets the tool do all the work. So basically, you squeeze the handle, insert into the avocado and then drag it through, allowing the handle to open up as you go along. Voila!! Perfect slices. Really nice tool from Chef'n!! I also highly recommend their VeggiChop manual food processor, which I did buy for myself, and is so great to be able to process small amounts without all the noise of an electric.
Maybe I’m an idiot but I could not figure out how to use the thing. Made guacamole out of my avocado every time!
Doesnt Work
Nice idea poor execution. As you slide done the avocado the whole thing pops out of the skin and you are left with half of it sliced.
We have a 25-foot avocado tree, so when the fruit matures, we are eating them constantly for five months. This tool is perfect for the size and shape of our avocados, which is larger than the "Haas" but smaller than the typical Florida variety. Most of the time, the flesh comes out in one swipe. I have one for myself, and with this purchase, sent 3 to our family up north for Thanksgiving (with avocados, of course!). They all have told me they love it, too!

This product is great! There is a bit of a learning curve to use it most efficiently, but once you get the hang of it you can fly through a bag off avocados in no time. the best part is the ability to be able to squeeze the sides and make it smaller to adjust for the size of your avocado.
Slicer works well. Although looking at it, it's difficult to believe.
If you enjoy eating avocados this is definitely a handy tool
to own.
was hoping it would also work on my mangoes, but it doesn't. But it is great on avocado's.
I've wanted one of these for ages...be careful what you wish for. It just doesn't work, which is a shame as I had high hopes.
Rather than gently sliding down into the flesh of the avacado, instead it squishes down and you get a big mess.
Thinking it was user error (on my part - this is easily possible) my partner had a go...same result...such a shame.
Pretty good tool, but not sharp enough to slice right through to the end, so you have to push the last little bit through.
