It worked perfectly for berries. Haven't tried with apples yet. Well made and easy to assemble. Worked perfect.

PERFECT ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I found the assembly instructions THE WORST! What are they, IKEA?! It’s not a one person deal. BUT now that it is assembled, it looks like it will work as advertised. We are going to use it to press our MAGIC BUTTER MACHINE butter for extraction. Will post how that goes.

This press is great, it’s a total game changer for my herbal oils and tinctures. I’ve recovered 1/3 more liquid by using this press, I consider that a win. The press itself is quite sturdy. Other commenters have mentioned that it isn’t made of stainless, but that’s not true (at least not for the product I received). A magnet will readily stick to every single part of this press from the frame, to the pressing disk, to the cylinder containers and strainers. The pressing disk is too heavy to be aluminum anyways. My father is also a welder and he confirmed that everything is stainless. As for commenters who mentioned grease in the disk fittings - the grease is there on purpose so that the disk doesn’t rotate along with the press while you’re turning the lever. If you simply pre-filter your liquids using a cheese cloth or nut milk bag to remove as much liquid as possible, then there should be no reason (in most cases) that the disk should be submerged in liquid, therefor any grease contained above the disk cannot come into contact with your products. A c-clamp is helpful to keep it attached to a table, but I just put the press on the ground and use two feet on either side of it to keep it in place while turning the lever. The press is really easy to clean and the filtration bag that comes with it is great & reusable. It’s a slow process, since you have to turn the lever and wait for the liquid to come out, and sometimes you have to tip the press to get it all, but it works. This is a great press for the price and after only a couple uses will pay for itself in the material I’m able to recover. I’m so happy!

I make my own veggie stock. I used to squeeze the pulp by hand to get all the good juices out. This tool is an amazing time saver. The pulp doesn’t get bone dry like when I squeeze by hand but it’s good enough. It doesn’t clog at all like the juicer machine I got (and regretted) for this same purpose. The many hours of squeezing pots and pots of veggie broth are gone and I am grateful. Team this up with my instant pot and I get amazing tasting broth fast. It’s a fun family activity to make broth now: my toddler starts it off until it gets too hard for him and then mommy and baby do it together. And when it is super hard, daddy helps spin it a few final times. Fun times!

I was making juice with mine (my second time using), and as I was pouring my juice into a pitcher to drink later, I saw what I thought were small hairs in the juice. I removed one and discovered it was a metal wire shaving. I assume it came off the screw shaft or the hole the shaft passes through.I filtered the juice through an additional cloth filter and removed several more metal bits.Swallowing metal wires is no joke and can cause significant internal damage. As far as I am aware, removing wires like that requires surgery.I don't recommend messing around with this product. The metals they selected for the components clearly aren't hard enough to handle the stress of pressing juice without failing, and the failures might end up in your drink like mine did.Frankly, I'm going to be avoiding juice presses that use any kind of screw mechanism going forward. Not worth the risk.

Great item to have for pressing juice until it starts leaving metal shavings on top of the plate. You DO NOT want the metal shavings to fall into your juice.

I use this product to get the water out of my cauliflower that I make pizza crust with. It works great for this. It gets more water out of the cauliflower than I used to get out and in half the time. The only thing is it takes a lot of room to store but fortunately I have the space and it is well worth it to me.
