Is this big enough to grab a papaya?

Melissa, I'm not really happy with it because there is not enough tension to hold the fruit while you twist it. I too want to find something to pick papayas. Right now I use a long stick with a rubber tip like cap and push on it. It works. I will still try to create something. ..

Yes, it's big enough to grab them, but our papayas tend to be too heavy for it to hold them. We sort of grab/push/pull the fruit with the picker and have someone else standing under to try and catch them on the way down!

It can grab a papaya -- someone needs to help because the twister could not hold the papaya.

No, it would be too small. It is pretty, but not as practical as I would like. However, we decided to keep it.

It might work but you would have to pump it into a cup. It's too big and awkward to pick up easily.

No, not really. It is the perfect size for a can of vegetables, so it is great for that.

Sorry cannot answer for sure. Clustered citrus is a little more difficult than individual ones. But not sure about papaya.

Yes, it's big enough for your whole hand to fit in it. You just have to flatten and turn you thumb a little.

Probably. It was pretty big. I threw mine away because it was too difficult to open.

Yes. Just make sure you check dimensions as this was much smaller than what I had imagined.

It opens wide enough to pick them up; if they are empty it should work. Full, it may not support the weight.

It could handle a pretty small grapefruit. Try to buy ones less than 4 inches in diameter.

I can fit my large fist in it, but probably not if I had grabbed a large apple.

no. it's about 3 (long) x 2 (wide) x 1/2 (thick). it fits in my hand easily.

The large one definitely is. The medium one would be large enough for an indoor Palm. I had a ficus tree in my medium one

I have only used it for zucchini but I imagine it will work just as well with green papaya.

Yes, the biggest size would work. The only issue is the hole is not big enough for a scoop.

Yes - the size is perfectly adequate. Thinking it is too small to function isn't something that has ever crossed my mind.

Yes. It has a small finger hole in it to make it easier to lift out.And mine came with a sample supply of simple human bags that fit it perfectly. They are expensive, though and I find that regular brands fit, but not a perfectly.
