OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer Review

A compact three-step tool for splitting, pitting, and slicing avocados without turning a quick toast or salad into a knife-skills project.

Who it suits

This is for people who use avocados regularly and prefer a guided tool over switching between a knife, spoon, and slicer. It is especially sensible for shared kitchens where a less intimidating routine is useful.

Core strengths

The tool combines a plastic cutting edge, a pit remover, and curved slicing wires in one drawer-friendly shape. The visible payoff is repeatable slices for toast and bowls without handling the pit with a knife.

Using the OXO avocado slicer on an avocado — **Three-step prep**Use the cutter to open, the pitter to remove the stone, then the wire head to lift slices.

Main drawbacks

A single-purpose gadget if avocados are only an occasional purchase
Very firm or unusually large avocados can still need careful handling
It does not replace a chef's knife for other prep tasks

Compared with alternatives

A spoon and knife cost nothing and remain more flexible, but they require more steps and more direct contact with the pit. A basic avocado slicer may slice only; this OXO combines the full routine in one familiar handle.

Buy if

Buy if you make avocado-based breakfasts or lunches often and value predictable slices and a simple pit-removal step. Skip it if drawer space is tight or a knife-and-spoon method already works comfortably for you.
