Multi-Function Fruit Cutters | Preparing watermelon, melons, citrus | 3-in-1 design (cutting blade, seed scoop, grip prongs) ▲▲▲ | Reduces need for multiple tools (▲▲▲ space efficiency) | Bulkier storage compared to single tools (▲▲ down) |
| | Stainless steel (ASTM A268 rust-resistant) | Durable and hygienic | Higher cost than basic cutters |
| | PP handle (ASTM D2043 anti-slip) | Ergonomic grip improves control | Requires manual effort for heavy-duty tasks |
Mandoline Slicers | Salad prep, thin vegetable cuts | Adjustable blades (0.5–5mm thickness) | Precision cuts for even slices (▲▲▲ consistency) | Risk of injury (sharp blades) |
| | Non-slip base (EN 1497:2004 certified) | Fast for bulk slicing | Not ideal for large fruits like watermelon (bulky) |
Manual Watermelon Tools | Basic cutting/scooping | Single-function prongs or blades | Affordable (▲▲▲ budget-friendly) | Limited functionality (▲▲ down) |
| | Plastic/rubber handles | Lightweight and portable | Less durable over time (may crack) |
Automatic Kitchen Appliances | Commercial kitchens, high-volume prep | Motorized blade (0.5 sec/cut) ▲▲▲ | Rapid, consistent output (▲▲▲ productivity) | Expensive (▲▲▲ cost) |
| | Electric operation (IEC 60335 safety-compliant) | No manual effort required | Requires power and storage space |
Traditional Knife Sets | General kitchen tasks | Sharp blades (Rockwell hardness 5.8–6.2) | Versatile for all cutting needs | Time-consuming for watermelon prep (seeds/scooping) |
| | Stainless steel construction | Long-lasting with proper care | Requires skill to avoid injury |
Eco-Friendly Kitchen Tools | Sustainable households | 100% recyclable materials (ISO 14021 certified) ▲▲▲ | Reduces plastic waste (▲▲▲ eco-impact) | May be less durable than metal tools |
| | Bamboo/organic handles | Biodegradable components | Higher maintenance (susceptible to moisture) |
