NorproGrip, EZ Melon Cutter, Green

I love this product: it creates perfect cantaloupe slices that you can stick in the fridge and grab whenever.Here is some additional/clarifying information:1) It's big. The cutting area (metal blades) are a FULL 8" in diameter. (The whole unit is 8.5" in diameter.)2) The blades are very sharp. Happily, a protective plastic cover (that snaps on easily to the bottom) is provided.3) The manufacturer's website recommends that this product be hand washed.4) It is a bit awkward to clean, but no big deal.5) You do have to clean the Cantaloupe seeds etc off of the individual blades - kind of one by one -- after slicing.

The description states that it will cut a watermelon, which was the reason why I ordered it. I shoud have paid more attention to the size because when I got it, I realized that it would not possibly be able to fit around a medium sized watermelon. I used it to make the initial cuts in the watermelon and cut the rest of it with a knife. It helped with cutting up a watermelon but it did not fully work as expected.

Only have used this slicer on large apples and it works great for that. The slices can just fall out of it due to the large size so you dont have to pull them through like on a regular slicer. Would probably be difficult to use on melons

This item did not perform as completely as stated. Although it did an excellent job on a pineapple it failed completely in using on a watermelon. It could not cut the melon even though two husky, 200 lb young men tried. So unless your are superman I do not recommend this for the average user.

A good tool for the kitchen. I love cantalope but often don't buy it because I don't want the deal with the mess of cutting the rhine. This slicer works wonderfully. Just push on it and you have slices ready to eat.

Good idea, but just don't use it enough. Bought this in the summer when we were eating a lot of melon, but ended up only using it a handful of times. If you can use a knife without hurting yourself, and have sharp knives, really don't need this product.

One of the best tools for melon cutting,hands down.Now if they can make a tool to cut the melon into two nearly equal size parts,that would be the GREATEST MELON CUTTING TOOL. PERIOD !!!

I am very pleased that the melon cutter I chose works extremely well. It minimizes the clean up of the melon after cutting it and the slices are perfect for the healthy snack.
