Spremy Electric Tomato Strainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this press last year and used it to press 7 bushels of tomatoes that I purchased from a nearby farm. It was my first tomato press, but I have some experience using an older one at my boyfriend's house, who's been pressing tomatoes since he was young - as a yearly tradition. This press was much more efficient (made significantly less waste) than the older one. The motor worked well, and it got through the seven bushels fairly fast without making too much of a mess (we were careful of course). It's only flaw as far as I can tell, is that the entrance at the top where the tomatoes go in is a bit too small, so almost all of the tomatoes we had needed to be cut in half before putting them into the press. We had medium sized roma tomatoes, and so far as I can tell, this would be true for most types with the exception of cherry tomatoes. With that said, I definitely plan on using it again next year, and I think it was well worth the cost. If you're considering getting one of the hand crank ones, I would strongly advise against it, and recommend this one instead, since it would save you a lot of effort, especially for bigger jobs.

Roma Food/Veg Strainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used this Roma Vegetable Strainer for making apple sauce twice. Previously I have used the Victorio strainer (very nice and sturdy, but no longer available) and Back to Basics (stronger than the Roma in my opinion, but not as good as the Victorio - it had a lot of parts to lose and was not rust resistant). The Roma is easy to put together and seems to be rust resistant, but is weak, flimsy, unstable, and doesn't hold on my counter well with either the suction or the clamp.Things I like about the Roma Strainer:
* Pieces attach easily without nuts and bolts
* Seem to be rust resistant (The Back-to-Basics strainer that I bought 15 years ago had some parts that would rust)
* Plastic cone that takes the waste (seeds, core and skin) away is farther from the sauce dispenser, making it easier to have various shapes of bowls.Things I dislike about the Roma Strainer:
* The suction cup does not hold on my smooth quartz counter-top. Nice try, but it doesn't work.
* I have a bull-nose (rounded edge) to my counter-top so the clasp doesn't work very well either - it isn't long enough to reach around the bull-nose. So, it starts wiggling fairly quickly and isn't very stable, with no way to attach it more firmly.
* The handle is much harder to turn than the old Victorio (purchased 30 years ago) or Back-to-basics (purchased 16 years ago) strainers I have previously used. As I turn the handle, the vertical support seems to wobble or bend a bit, as though it isn't very strong.
* The handle seems a bit flimsy.
* Turning the handle is stiffer with more resistance than with the other strainers I have used before. (You tire more quickly.
* I have to run the waste product through 2 x as there is a lot of good applesauce that goes out with it.
The materials and workmanship are poorer quality. Some of the features (fewer parts to get lost) are nicer. Overall, though, my experience is that it is not nearly as good or as easy to use as the other strainers I have used in the past.
