I have a different brand of banana saver that works well, and then ordered these to have on hand for the kids' lunches.  The shape of the container is too curved, not long enough, and has a closed top so that the banana stem cannot stick out.  Won't be able to use at all.

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you this doesn't work.  I have the brown sugar keeper and a keeper for both my sugar and flour and I LOVE those.  This one lets air/moisture into my powdered sugar and allows it to clump, thus making it unusable.  If there was a better seal around the duster it might help.  Even then, it really is too small a container (I want something I can dump my store bag into).  I understand why- if it was much bigger, you couldn't easily pick it up to use as a duster.  But, as I said, the duster is a problem anyway.  So, I suggest getting one of their other containers and dust by hand as you always have.
I have read complaints about the levelers.  I must say, I LOVE the levelers.  Yes, you do need to tilt the container to make use of them but that isn't a problem for me to do with one hand with my other containers.  It won't work on this container because it is just too durn small but on the sugar/flour keeper I find that a large bag fits with enough room to use the scraper.  I do have to wait until my container is practically empty before adding the next bag so it doesn't get too full but I don't have an issue with that (besides, I like to have a high turnover in my ingredients anyway for the best taste).
So, in summary, buy this brand just not this particular container.

I found one of these on sale locally for 25-cents - closeout. Seriously, it does work well to slice a banana, assuming you peel it first, to refer to another review here. The problem is that it's difficult to clean. Banana doesn't rinse off well, so you must use some sort of a brush to clean it. But it slices bananas well, as advertised. I find myself using it for a strainer, in lieu of a cocktail strainer. Generally I use larger ice cubes when mixing a cocktail, and this strains them out nicely, and pours out faster than the cocktail strainer. Works particularly well for a classic daiquiri or a martini.

I am Batman. For years, I have put millions of dollars into researching new ultra-banana cutting technology, but never understood the complex infrastructure of the Chiquita banana. Then one night, Alfred served me perfectly cut bananas. I was so confused because it only took him 3 seconds to slice them. Then he told me about the Hutzler Banana slicer. I'm so infuriated that I threw millions of dollars into research when all I needed to do was buy a $3 banana slicer on Amazon. Now I'm behind on my bat cycle construction, and I need to fix the electrical systems in the bat cave. BTW:  Batarangs don't do a very good job at slicing bananas.

This has made my bananas last a lot longer and kept other fruit from spoiling so quickly.  We've also eliminated the fruit fly problem.

This seems like the perfect item to use as an add-on, for use with any of the correctly shaped bananas I may happen across, but I wonder when they will come out with a Plantain slicer?

I hope that Hutzler R&D is working night and day to develop a working model!

in the meantime, I will just have to continue  using the chain-saw method.

So far it has been great. No bananas have been damaged while in the protection of the Banana saver. Everyone who sees it wants their own banana saver. The only issue we've had is that some bananas don't fit perfectly, but that's more of a defect with the bananas, so we won't take any stars off for that. Buy this banana saver, it will make you happy.

This was obviously designed for use with the common, or cavendish, banana.

Before I make my purchase I would like to know if this amazing devise will also work on other varities like baby, Manzano, Red, Burro and plaintain bananas?  And if I plan on preparing plaintains, should I use the slicer before or after I cook them, that is, will the slicer only work on raw bananas?

Think I might have been better off buying a banana stand separate....Don't think I'd buy it again. Does hold a good bit of fruit in basket. Serves its purpose.

I only use Food Saver bags because the knock off brands don't hold as well. Personal preference after trying several brands.

Sometime last year I ordered banana seeds, they were very, very small. Most of them never germinated and when It finally did, I got something else other than a banana tree. The plant did not last long enough to see what it was.  I have seen in utube that the banana seeds should be bigger and it looks like this time I got the right ones. Too cold to plant right now and it would be nice to receive instructions on how to plant them and mostly to keep it going. Nevertheless, thank you, I am happy with them.

Caution these bags don't work with the V3420 Food Saver.  Unfortunately we missed our return window and are stuck with 3 rolls that we can't use.  The food sealer crimps the plastic but isn't able to remove the air from the bag.  Go brand name with Food Saver.

Other places sale them cheaper. Three of them for $ 9.99 on ebay.
Can't hold a large banana, case is difficult to open.

Banana holder doesn't stay on well. We have it rigged and it's staying on for now but I can see this not lasting long. Would suggest buying a different one that has the banana tree actually attached to the bowl. I would not purchase again.

Mash mash man. I've only mashed bananas for banana cookies/bread and it mashes well.

Arrived as expected. It just doesn't work. Before I got this I tried the old banana chunk in a wine glass with a rubber-band around the top and hole cut in the corner method (look it up)--very effective. Caught 5 fruit flies quickly. I put this up and it caught none over 2 days so I made another make-shift one using yogurt (they like fermenting or rotting stuff) and put them side-by side, and the yogurt one caught 5 in an hour.

I already had one of these banana savers, and wanted some extra and to give one to a friend. They work really well in protecting a banana from bruising and turning black. They may be a little resistant to being opened at times, but nothing that prevented me from ever using them again. I highly recommend these - they truly save bananas!
