Garden fruit collector from China

The first month of autumn is a "hot" season for owners of six acres. Despite the importance of preparing the site for the coming winter, harvesting is still in the first place. In central Russia, mainly various varieties of apple and pear trees are planted.

Many summer residents know from experience that the ripening of fruits is uneven. It is not recommended to wait for one day, because overripe fruits lose their taste and are stored for a very short time.

Harvesting is a lot of trouble, and you can't do without "helpers". There is not always a place for a ladder near fruit trees, therefore a huge range of fruit collectors is presented in hardware stores.

The product is a small bag attached to a rim with teeth. A special hole on the side is designed for a stick that allows you to reach the upper branches. The cloves cut off the thin stem and the fruit lands safely in the pouch.

The cost of a fruit picker in Russian online stores starts from about 200 rubles. In the simplest products, the bag is made of cotton, the carbon steel body resists corrosion. Expensive models (from 600 rubles) are distinguished by a cutter made of durable plastic and the ability to adjust the position of the fruit collector relative to the bar.

The well-known website AliExpress offers tempting prices - only 143 rubles for a fruit picking tool. A similar cotton bag and rim with teeth and a hole for the rod - Chinese manufacturers decided not to change the design, proven over the years.

Opinions about the fruit picker from the Celestial Empire were divided. On the one hand, buyers note the durability of the product: the bag is well sewn to the body, and it is very difficult to bend the cloves. On the other hand, the modest size of the bag is designed for two or three small fruits, and the lack of tilt adjustment requires additional efforts.

The main disadvantage of the Chinese instrument is still paid delivery, which increases the final cost of the product to 330 rubles. Based on customer reviews, we do not recommend ordering fruit pickers on the AliExpress website, because in any Russian online store you can easily find a more successful model with a swivel mechanism and pick up a convenient telescopic bar.
