I bought this mango splitter based on the rave reviews from other people but it just didn't work for me. It cuts down about halfway, but as soon as it gets to the tougher area of mango around the pit, it can't go any further. If you try to force it, you just end up squashing the bottom of the mango. It just made a huge mess. After trying about three mangos, I put it away and went back to peeling and slicing them by hand. I would not recommend this product.
