Weston Brands Deluxe Electric Tomato Strainer and Sauce Maker | Easy to Operate Vegetable & Fruit Juicer Machine Juice Extractor With 3 Stainless Straining Screens | Easy to Clean and Dishwasher Safe

I am really impressed with the Weston I ordered. I have previously been using a Victorio Mannual Food Strainer (which worked good and had used for many years) but was getting tired of hand cranking every summer. This Weston electric food strainer works great. It is easy to assemble and clean. I like that it is easy to switch from one screen to the other. The only problem is that I needed it higher off the counter so I could put a pan or bowl underneath the shoot that the juice goes down. Even though the shoot is somewhat adjustable it was still just too low. My husband cut and screwed together some boards that I am able to set it on to raise it up about 6 inches.

When my husband said to me during our tomato harvest and spaghetti sauce making marathon, "Don't they make an electric one?" then I found this and bought it outright. I put up 101 quarts of spaghetti sauce and the last three batches were a breeze compared to using my trusty manual tomato separator. The bowl is NOT for holding a lot of cut up tomatoes, but for keeping their guts from getting all over the place. The best way to work this is to cut large Romas in quarters and smaller ones in half and feed them gradually into the hole, while pushing then in with the stomper. The sturdiness is good, but be careful, because the machine will tip forward with too much stomping. It does not have the balance and weight of a meat grinder. I have no idea how some have placed whole tomatoes in the opening, unless they were the size of large cherry tomatoes. Follow the directions on what and what not to process and you should have no trouble. It is tall, so if you are short or have shoulder problems, place it on a table and not a kitchen counter.

I have canned for years the old fashion way and it took days to get everything done. This machine is so easy to use and very easy to take apart and clean. It has helped me in every way. I love this machine. No problems at all. I’ve done over 50lbs in tomatoes so far this year. We are set for salsa, juice, and pasta sauce. Highly recommend!

Works great. Don't hesitate to buy it. We struggled with a kitchen aide with their attachment for years. This machine has much more power and works effortlessly. Better late then never.

Loved loved loved it. Omg! Why didn’t I have this 15 years ago?!I’ve been using the hand crank tomato seeder and peeler. My arm gets soo tired from all that turning.Could NOT believe how easy this is to use, soo fast, and the leftover peels and seeds are compact and dry - just about no waste. I am just thrilled with this. I can make tomato juice, marinara/pizza sauce in a few minutes.

Prior to purchasing this unit, we washed the tomatoes, boiled the tomatoes, placed the tomatoes in an ice water, removed the skin, cut them up into smaller pieces and manually turned a strainer to remove the seeds. After scalding my hand we purchased this unit. Now we simply wash the tomatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and let the unit do all the work. This unit saves lots of time in making sauce and works great. I would recommend this unit and would buy it again.

Great food mill! Have used it for tomatoes, apples, pumpkin so far. Wish it came with a cook book. The manual is... well a manual that lists the parts and how to put it together and that's about it. The only complaint i might have about it is finding bowls to put under each part, debris end and sauce end so you don't make a huge mess. Am thinking it was meant to be elevated as all the bowls I've tried end up being oblong and short sided so you can still fit something to catch the debris. Otherwise, like all parts seperate for easy cleaning. I've put hot tomatoes in the hopper and its still white and didn't melt.. but i question if it might... personally think hopper should be of stainless steel. But I'm pretty happy with it, makes canning a whole lot easier.

I used this several times to can tomatoes. It cut the time for prep in half. Its a little noisy but gets the job done. I worry that the motor which sounds like it works hard might eventually wear out with a lot of use. The plastic chute connection tabs seem like they might eventually break off too. The release button for this should be in front rather than back, where it cannot be seem. I always forget it is there and have difficulty removing the chute until I remember it is there. I love the 3 different size strainer screens. I wish I had this when I made my blackberry jam. On the whole, this is a great product that will get lots of use.

Love it! Saves me hours of work. Cleaning is a little tough, but not much worse than a manual food mikl

Very good

it broke as soon as i used it and when i emailed to try to send it back 2 weeks ago, i never received a response.
