How much of the pineapple does it actually get out? Does it leave a lot behind in the shell/skin?

No tool is perfect but this one is very practical. After I remove it from the pineapple I take a chef's knife and vertically cut the leftover shell into one inch slices. I then "filet" the flesh off the sides and probably get another cup of clean fruit without getting into the "eyes" of the fruit.

It leaves about 1/4 inch in the skin however you do need to keep in mind the diameter of the blade. If you were to buy a very large pineapple it would leave a bit more. If it were to take too much you'd start to get eyes in your slices.

It retrieves almost all of the edible pineapple. First you cut the top off the pineapple , next you hold the oxo next to the fruit and measure it so that you know how far to twist it downward. Once you reach desired depth , firmly hold the pineapple and gently pull the oxo upward. It leaves behind a center collumn in the pineapple ( the core/ heart ) that's approx 1 inch diameter. The outter part has very little left as well. All of this takes less than two minutes. Very nice to have if you like fresh pineapple !

It leaves very little behind, you need to match the size of the pineapple to the tool. How much is left on the bottom is up to you depends on how far you go down. If you leave some behind on the bottom you can use the tool again and get it,. It makes perfect round slices. I love it

I haven't had any problem with beet roots nor cabbage. I have experienced a problem with the shunt, but only when juicing a whole pineapple with skin and core included. When I juice an orange and a 2" piece of pineapple it never gets stuck

NOPE! You'll have to cut any fruit to juice it, def a pineapple at that! There are 3 chutes, all 3 are the same size, it does get the job get done quicker since you can alternate between the 3. Btw, is there really a juicer where you could put a whole pineapple in?! LOL...for some reason I found that amusing :)

You don't cut all the way thru the bottom. When you get down to the bottom you move the handle and shaft around gently as you pull up on the handle and it finally comes out in one piece. The core is left in the pineapple. Our horses love the remains.

I measured mine at 26.5 long. I do not have the pineapple. I'm also very happy with the sound and quality.

Hey Meghan,some of the pulp goes into the top but not much. I do not stop and clean while I am juicing I have emptied the external collector and just continued with the juicing process..I only clean up when I am done juicing for the week.Sherrie

The recommended pineapple size is 3-5 pounds. Therefore, the diameter of the fruit will be minimum of 4 inches. The core is efficiently removed and all the juice is retained with minimal waste. The pineapple shell can be used to serve individual tropical drinks. I purchased one for myself and was soooo satisfied with the speed and ease of use that I bought another as a gift.Highly recommend this item.

I get tall pineapples from Costco and it is plenty long enough. I'm still loving this gadget!

I watched a u-tube video and found out that I was also doing it wrong. Cut off the top only, before you get to the bottom of the pineapple, pull out the corer and you will have rings that will slide off easily.

Hold the bottom of pineapple and move handle side to side, up and down while slowing pulling. It will give and will pull out

One of the enzymes contained in this product, Bromelain, is isolated from parts of the pineapple plant. Even though using such an isolation process virtually eliminates the chance of any allergic reaction, we certainly wouldn't ask you to risk it. I'd look for a product that does not contain Bromelain. Thanks for asking.

Well there are leftovers such as the peel or the skin or what have you. It's extracting the most important things out of. There is pulp that is left over as well but you choose to do what you want with it. I don't use it. Hope this helps.

It slices it in to rings or you can do bit size ones if you cut it down the sides. This is a great product and saves you time with Pineapples!

Hi, Margaret. I am assuming you don't mean the circumference of the circle because that really depends, I think, on the pineapple's size. If you mean how thick are the slices, then I don't think they are a full inch thick but they are certainly 1/2 inch or greater. HTH.

This is long enough for a regular pineapple. It will bore through the entire pineapple with ease.

I have used it on various sizes and have found it works well on all of them. The only thing you have to watch is to make sure you don't core too far through the base of the pineapple. It is an excellent product.

The skin is very well held on. It is difficult to remove naturally. However, use a blow dryer to heat up the skin, then it comes off with minimal effort.
