Surprise! It works!!,
When I saw this, I passed it by. But then I got to thinking. Several times I need only a half of an avocado and no matter what I do I can not get the other half to last for more than a few hours. I keep the pit in, brush the cut side with lime juice or lemon juice or Fruit Fresh, wrap tightly in plastic… to no avail. I went back and bought the Avo Saver, figuring that I will use it one time and if it doesn’t work, I will return it.
Two days ago I cut an avocado in half, twisted it, and separated the halves. I used the half without the pit, then brushed some lemon juice on the other cut half. I placed it in the Avo Saver, tightened the little belt-thing, and put it in the refrigerator. Today I removed the avocado and was quite surprised to find that the cut side was still green-yellow and there was very little oxidation. It works!
I will return and edit if I find that this first time was a fluke and it actually doesn’t work. But for now, it’s a one-use gadget that I will definitely keep.

It actually works,
This item currently sells for $3.95 plus qualifies for the super saver shipping and 4 for 3 features as well. I wasn’t sure it would retard the browning of an avocado but felt adventurous because we routinely eat only half of one. So, I placed the half with the seed into the container and strapped it down. Because I really didn’t think it would work, I also placed the entire thing, avocado and contraption, within a zip lock sandwich bag. Well, two days later, when I opened it, the avocado was only slightly brown and looked as if it had only been in the frig for two hours versus two days; I know what it would have looked like without the saver. I’m taking a star off because the device is made of thin plastic, and the strap is flimsy as well. I don’t expect it to last very long unless I handle it carefully. It does go on the top shelf of the dishwasher and washes well.
January 24, 2012 update: Here we are two years later, and this utensil has held up like a champ. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it today, either in the strap breaking, or discoloration or cracking of the plastic, which are the things I thought would happen.
January 21, 2013 update: This item is showing wear now in a couple of ways: (1) one of the notches on the belt is broken, probably because I have been pulling it too strongly across the avocado half; and (2) the face has become stained from avocado contact, which I do not understand because I wipe it after every use and it goes into the dishwasher. The saver is still functional at this point.
