How do the various pieces come together into a workflow to go from "whole melon" to "cut melon"? I need a video demo or something.

I would really love to own this product for real.. i m so saddened to see it can't move up any faster!! :-(

Have you thought about adding a fruit slicing piece to this grouping that currently does not exist to assist in sales? For example, there are gadgets to slices strawberries, but nothing for blueberries. They are very tiny to hold. You would have to hold each one individually and cut with a pearing knife. Is there a way to make a tong like device, like a pea pod mold, that would hold 6 to 8 blueberries and a knife could be run down the middle, cutting the blueberries in half. Or a little larger size for Cherry Tomatoes. I'm just trying to think outside the box and see if there is life for this. Good luck

I've just joined this group and this idea is ridiculous if there is a fairly comparable alternative, as has been mentioned i.e. knife and cutting board. I think the #s speak for themselves: only 10 sold in presale. Sorry, but this melonmaster is a lemon.

Since this isn't in production yet, may I make a suggestion? I've been looking at the product mock-up and I can't help thinking the knife might be more effective if the blade comes out the other (curved) side of the device. That way the handle is part of the stabilizing force.

I am concerned that with all this negativity regarding the melon master (from many of the influencers), how the heck it got selected to move forward in the first place. How bout coming up with something that legitimizes the voting and influencing to see how products are chosen...and everything else that we vote on. Shouldn't that be community knowledge?

I am sure there are some melon addicts out there, but i am lucky to purchase 1 or 2 at best per year. I'm not even looking for melon help. I'm thinking we have to go after things required more often, like the scratch n scroll for nerds that can't remember where they put a pen or pencil....but at least you use the thing everyday.

Is the Quirky logo really going to be on the melon knife? And where is this product going to be manufactured if it ever reaches the pre-sales goal of 300 units?

Wow, this is a product I really can't get behind. And I have a lot of kitchen gadgets.

I don't think they really needed too much capital--it will never be manufactured if no one ends up interested. :(
