The first time I used this I cut the CRAP out of my thumb -- I mean completely across it, and almost bad enough to warrant a trip to the er. My pineapple was not quite ripe though. (I VERY stupidly tried to push the pineapple through at the end, not realizing the blades on the two circle weren't lined up.) The second time was a little easier, but I thought it wasted a lot of the fruit as well -- I cut a bunch off the skin. So far, I'm not impressed, and I was so excited about this product! By the way, I am 5 10, so, tallness is not an issue here!

Making sure the fruit is ripe is the first instruction, as far as I'm concerned. I've been telling everyone about using the Kernel Cutter to shave any remaining pineapple from the peel.I figure that not every product speaks to everyone. That's fine. Just read some of the Love It/Hate It threads here. The very same products that one person says they don't want, need, or see the purpose of is the very same product that someone else can't live without.My rule for the products that don't speak to me is to make sure I'm informed about them so I can answer questions. If someone asks, I tell them that it doesn't suit my style (or taste, if it's consumable), the outline the features. It's not my job to love everything. It's just my job to show and tell.

Good point, Rae! And, that is usually my response when I don't like something. I'm just disappointed because this was the thing I was most excited about, and now that I've used it, it's not what I wanted! Right now I am just telling people to be careful. I haven't totally written it off yet. I did like it much more the second time -- with well-ripened fruit. And, I think the tip about using the cover to push it through will help quite a bit!
