Advantages of Cherry Picker (CP):
1. CP supports both: Product Types (VM1.1) and Custom Fields (VM2);
2. Optimized and polished search algorithms provide you best performance out there. You can search tens of thousands of products and still have low loads on your database!
3. CP comes with a variety of beautiful layouts:
• Simple List - regular list of filters;
• Checkbox List - you can select multiple filters with checkboxes and apply all with one click;
• Dropdown List - HTML-stylized list;
• Simple Dropdown List - provides an opportunity to search in Progressive Mode -- where you select filters one-by-one.
4. Color filters can be represented as actual color boxes;
5. Select ranges of filters (e.g. RAM from 4GB to 8GB): ——[]———[]—
6. CP has beautiful URLs (which Google will love). For example:
yoursite.com/shirts/?brand=Dolce&Gabbana
7. Update results with Ajax AND update Browser URL address, which means your visitors can bookmark results and return to the very same page;
8. Cherry Picker comes bundled with VM Breadz — a breadcrubms module that apart from categories also includes applied Filters, Manufacturers, Search keywords in its path!

9. And final but not least, if you want advanced experience, yo can use Fast Seller — a dedicated component with which you'll be able to manage filters super easily and super fast (which default VM interface cannot provide).

Bought cherry picker to enable my customers easy access to a filtering tool. Because my opening web page was not a virtuemart page, had some difficulty with the page lay-out, combined with cherry picker. Contacted the developer for help and got quick response and advice. A little alteration in the code was needed to work with my page set-up. Great tool, great support.
Bought this product with the expectation it would work. Later understood if you have virtuemart 2 you need fast seller. Went ahead and bought fast seller. Created filters in Fast Seller and Cherry picker recognized the filters however it didn't filter the content. Also only could get the module to display on one page.
The response from the vendor for the most part was quick, however the issue was never resolved as the help was poor at best.
In the end I had to drop the product and find another vendor. To many problems and doesn't perform as advertised with VM2 and joomla 2.5.

Thanks for your comment.
Sad that you're frustrated though, especially that you were 99% complete.
Please note, that there is a Readme file that guides you for one little edit that you need to make (but surely, no one reads Readmes))
This is because with VM2 we're using minimalistic URLs for filters:
www.yoursite.com/virtuemart/laptops/?brand=Apple
and Virtuemart needs to "know" how to interpret those.
As for overall compatibility with Virtuemart 2, we have it stressed in red, but it's not enough, so I take a chance to say it again here -- VM2 has abandoned filter support, and how to overcome this explained in here:

And lastly, we never seize customer support until he is satisfied. You probably were shy to contact us for more explanations. I encourage you to do this now and experience ChP's filtering capabilities)
If you are building or administrating a Virtuemart store with more that 10 products ( i jest) there are a few extensions that are mandatory to your store's scalability and success. Cherry Picker is definitely on of the mandatory extensions!
This module is very well designed, has amazing support and, best of all, has an optional Administration piece of software (FastSeller - same developer, don't hesitate- buy it also!) that really makes managing a large store soooooooo much easier.
We are running Virtuemart with 30,000 + products and without Cherry Picker/FastSeller adding filters to our store would be a nightmare. Now it is a dream! Thanks Maks.

This module is FANTASTIC, easy to install, and also does exactly as described above by its programmer.
Before using Cherry Picker, I tried all kind of Search Filters for VirtueMart, either free or commercial ones. Believe me, this is 'the only one' ideal for VirtueMart. It is SUPERLATIVE!!! What's even GREATER, is the assistance provided, fast and reliable. Customer Care EXCELLENT!!! 5 STARS!!! Certainly recommended for all VirtueMart users.

This is one of the best modules I've used and the support is first class. Install and you get most of the functionality, to get the full functionality you have to make a few tweaks to virtuemart but the instructions are very clear. It's allowing me to use virtuemart in a way that I didn't think was possible.
A must for anyone with a large catalogue that needs the ability to filter

A must have for every e-shop!
Easy to setup and configure, even on an old e-shop that holds thousands of products.
However even the best extension is nothing without support. And the support of this extension is excellent, immediate, direct, friendly and professional!
It's one of the very few I am totally satisfied with.
Congratulations for a job well done!

I was already impressed with the module before obtaining it. When I finally got it, it worked like a charm. When we needed to make a few adjustments to make it work on multiple levels, Maks helped us work out the kinks and modified CherryPicker to our needs. Very responsive, respectful and kind. A well earned donation in my book. If you are thinking about this module for your site, get it...you won't be sorry.
Cherry picker along with the VM Breadz module is simply awesome, great and it has a lot of options in the backend. It works, it's simple to use and you can customize it to fit your needs easily through the css files. And if you want to modify the layout you have to know some php basics, but really basics and if you don't, like in my case there is a patient man who will answer you within 10 minutes, and help you to achieve, modify, change or whatever you want the module.
So once again, i'm delighted with both, the product itself and the support from the autor.
Thumb's up
Great work!
Greetings from Boris, Croatia.
P.S. for those who are skeptic about purchasing online(a lot of them in my country) there were absolutely no problems, everything was fine.
P.P.S. For it's functionality, greatness and looks, the price is a bargain.

This module is awesome. It's easy to install and use. It works like clock. Support is also very nice, i've got an answer to my question in 5 minutes.
Что особенно приятно, техподдержка возможна и на русском! :) Спасибо, Максим!

I really appreciate the module in every aspect, as demoed. But what really amazes me is the after sales support. I didn't expect to receive a response from the author in less than an hour (since most tickets gets resolved in many websites in 24 to 72 hours, which is also acceptable).
Anyway, about the module. It works as you can see in the website, and it really does improves over time (which I really dont expect for a really great product at start). This helps my buyers to pick what they really wanted. Fast and very straight forward. 2 thumbs up for the developer!

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT! ITS AN AMAZING PRODUCT, CHEAP PRICE. GET IT I RECOMMEND IT.
OK, the product is amazing, but whats better is the support. I have a tires & wheels website which is a bit more difficult than most stores, and they helped me all the way.
The product is worth it, and for around $25? Thats nothing for what it does, I mean think about, your website will revolve around this search filter. There is a reason this type of filter is used by Amazon, Bestbuy, Newegg. and I guarantee you they paid a lot more than $25 lol
