I, too, was greatly surprised to read the negative comments about this product. I was bought one about two years ago and have used it frequently since then. I live alone and often keep half an avocado to eat the next day. The pod is easy to use and clean and works well to keep medium sized avocados fresh. My only disappointment is that it has been out of stock for a while as I want to buy another for my son.

I thought this would have a place for the stone to dip into so that the stone keeps part of the avocado fresh, i also thought the membrane would apply pressure to keep the half airtight. No, instead you have to remove the stone and the membrane applied the pressure of a leaf. It doesn’t keep it from going brown and you would get a fresher avocado if you put your avocado on a plate and wrapped some cling film over it, or used a silicone plate disk to apply pressure. Total waste of money.

Needs to come with a warning of "only use with small avocados". Mine has split open and is useless now.

I live by myself so have always had problems buying and eating an avocado by myself as they discolour so quickly. This is a really useful tool which means I can eat half one day and save the other half for another day. It genuinely looks fresh one day later. Like it’s bpa free too and it’s really good value

This really works and keeps half an ago for at least a day with minimal discolouration. It allows me to eat half the avocado without waste. (no-one else in my house eats avocado) Will be buying some of the other pods in this range next.
