Westmark Cherry Stoner "Kirschomat" - #4070

It was a gift but recipient hasn’t used it yet. Thank you.

I have used your earlier models of cherry stoners for some years, but they came to the end of their useful life.
So I purchased two of the new models to be sent to Australia. They arrived very quickly - that was good as we are in our early summer harvest period.
The puncher unit is much more sturdy that the earlier model, so I found this to be a very good improvement.
The design concept of a rectangular base box is better than the elliptical version of the earlier model.
However, I have found two problems.
1. the puncher unit did not fit securely into the plastic base box. it would be better if the design of the base included a 2 - 3 mm outside 'lip' so the unit would hold firmly.
2. the cherry feeder tray did not fit securely into the assembled unit. The little vertical plastic sections on its bottom part did not allow for it to sit into the rectangular base tub.
I do hope that this feedback will encourage you to make some minor modifications to your design... because overall it is the best unit on the market.

So quick and easy we may have to start a side business selling cherry pie!

I like the design of the pitter, the cherries need a little help feeding as they frequently ‘bunch up’ at the entry point. I alway cut the pitted cherries in half to insure no pits get through. Out of five pounds of cherries I found four or five pits that had gotten through…not bad, but even one is too many if you value your molars. Also, the plastic feed tray upon which the metal pitting device attaches is showing stress cracks after the first use, but I believe a lighter blow on the plunger would help alleviate this without affecting the effectiveness of the machine. All in all it’s much faster, cleaner and more comfortable than previous jar top pitters I have used. I would recommend giving it a try!

It was awesome…seldom missed a cherry. Love that you could pit handfuls at a time. So much more efficient than one at a time. I would recommend it to anyone!!🍒🍒🍒
