Upon first opening the box I wasn't too sure.... seemed like lots of little parts to get lost. After putting it together a couple times, piece of cake to use. works great on fresh from the garden tomatoes, no need to blanch the tomatoes! yay! It makes short work in no time to large quanity of tomatoes for making salsa, soup, juice, sauce, you name it! I have a juicer as well but this gets every last bit of pulp-goodie out of each and every tomato. This is definitely a keeper!

This thing is a lifesaver. It was well worth the money. We do everything from sauces to pumpkin puree. It makes things effortless. Process tomatoes in no time.

We love it! I had decided to start making my own canned tomato sauce this year and had no interest in boiling, icing, and then peeling the tomatoes. So I started shopping around and reading all the reviews. I could not be happier that I chose this machine! It was easy to use, very little mess, I did this in my kitchen and had almost no splatter. We did run the pulp through the machine two more times to make sure we got the most out of our tomatoes and it worked great. The clean-up was not difficult at all! I would recommend this machine to everyone!!

This was pricey for me, but very much worth it! I had about 1/2 bushel of tomatoes in the freezer that I had to put up and this sure did a great job with so little waste! I wrings out every bit of the pulp from the tomatoes I did. It was a little tricky getting it put together, but I figured it out. I especially love the large "hopper".

Ok so when you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all so we wont talk about the suction cup. Other than that this thing is great. For years we used food processor and blanching process to make sauce from our garden. NO blanching needed and less time, a lot less time involved. Once I anchored it to counter with the clamp things went great. My beautiful assistant and I had fun doing this "the wife". Did about two milk crates of tomatoes for puree 14 quarts. Next step will be salsa" I bought the salsa attachment separately" Only real suggestion I could offer would be a re design of the clamp to make it easier to anchor. Just take your time and follow the directions wish I had bought this sooner!

I upgraded to this from the Foley mill based upon the suggestion of a friend. I have a lot of apples on my property and got tired using the Foley mill to make apple sauce. It was too labor and time intensive. This thing has been great. I can fit the whole dutch oven full of apples into the hopper up top, and it's incredibly easy to process.I've had no issues with the suction lock on my countertop, and the peels and all that come out are easy to capture and then put back in at least one more time. It does take more time to clean than the Foley, but not by much. Now, instead of making 1 batch of apple sauce, I want to get a lot of it ready at once to process.My one complaint is that I do fear a bit about the durability of it. The clear plastic extension where the peels come out is a bit hard to snap on and off. The red stomper is light, but it's hollow so I worry about if I ever will crush it. But we'll see. I've done about 5 gallons of sauce already and had no issues.Someday I'll get the other screens and try out those too.

This press seems to work fairly well for processing tomatoes which is the only food I have worked with so far. I have probably produced about 40 quarts of tomato juice (simmered down to close to 20) and nothing has broken. It is definitely faster and more efficient than the traditional crank strainer that sits on top of a pot. Still, to get maximum extraction, expect to run the pulp back through the strainer 5 or 6 times. Also, if processing a lot of tomatoes, take and scrape the outside of the screen a few times with the edge of a silicone spatula and at the end to remove a lot of thick saucy / pulpy material so it doesn't go to waste and it helps open the holes of the screen. Rotating the drain piece lets you get to more of the screen for this.After reading some comments about the auger shaving off material, I started out by coating the auger and the screen with olive oil to act as a lubricant until the actual tomato pieces worked their way through. Even with this, there is some abrasion present on the very end of the auger as seen.Since the instructions called for quartering, I went ahead and blanched and cored the tomatoes. Why not make it a little easier on the strainer. Still, there were times when the crank became harder to turn and there was a creaking sound coming from the unit. (This may have been when the auger was abraded). I also could see the entire head unit flexing during operation which has me concerned that the head may separate from the base at some point. It is not clear what metal this unit is made from but it seems similar to a cast zinc alloy similar to what a lot of small metal cast pieces are made with.The auger could certainly be made a little longer to better capture the pieces in the head. There could also be a small cap on the other end of the auger so that pieces of tomato didn't get pushed up into the inside. The mounting is so-so as the suction cup method isn't going to hold except maybe under the most optimum of conditions. The clamp method works but is tedious to use when the overhang distance on the counter is limited.Plan on cleaning this immediately after using so the tomato pulp pieces don't become glued to the surfaces especially the screen. I found to clean the screen, it works well to hold it under running water and using the straight side of a silicone spatula, rub the surface of the screen vigorously. This eventually dislodges all the pulp strands from the screen. Then a good semi-stiff brush inside and out cleans the rest off. Make sure and clean and dry the small metal shaft promptly as if left wet, it will start to show rust where the snap ring is located. It easily cleans off but keeping it from forming is better. Also, expect to get some permanent tomato staining on the white funnel and drain piece.Overall, a decent product that will hopefully hold up for a while.
