Review on πŸ“ Enhanced OXO Good Grips Strawberry Huller for Easy Removal by Laura Valenzuela

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works well but needs some adjustment

I bought this because I don't like cutting strawberries with a knife. I have vision problems, I'm not very good with a knife and I always felt like I was losing a lot of strawberries and making a mess. I've had it for a few days and bought some strawberries to try. Outside. First impression: cleans strawberries very well. It is very easy to take apart for cleaning and it doesn't take up much space in your drawer. I also tried it on a tomato: it worked wonderfully. Three issues prevent me from giving a higher rating. First, part of the blade appears to be very fragile. I don't know if it's really easy to break without further use, but I cringe because the blades move easily. I admit that this may be necessary for the tool to work. it just makes me nervous. Secondly, there is nothing to catch to help you flip when peeling strawberries. The tool is perfectly cylindrical. Although it has a rubberized finish, it doesn't have any ridges, ridges, or anything else that could act as a rest for your fingers. This can end up crushing strawberries while trying to get the job done. Finally, and most importantly, this tool doesn't work well with small strawberries. under a certain size. about the size of a cherry, this tool becomes absolutely useless because the piece he wants to take out is equal to the size of the whole fruit. Any fruit smaller than what you consider the "ideal strawberry size" is removing too much. Some reviewers suggest you can only insert the tool halfway, but if you do, the blades won't come close to each other and will pit the strawberries. Conclusion: Anyone who is good with a knife does not need this. On the other hand, if you find that you don't like peeling strawberries with a knife, I think this is the best alternative. I just want them to find solutions to the problems I mentioned.
