Velox Tomato Press / Tomato Strainer - Made in Italy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this tomato press to replace a similar one I got years ago which finally just wore out. Be aware that the actual color of the press is RED not the white as in the photo. The square bowl that comes with this particular press is handy for catching the offloaded tomato remnants. A comment about these type of presses making only "tomato soup" which is sort of true, the pressed tomato stuff that comes out of the chute is sort of soup-like but makes a great base for spaghetti sauce, salsa, and pizza sauce. I usually add a can of tomato paste to thicken the sauce up. Secondly I saw one reviewer's comments about the left over tomato stuff being a waste, well, I learned years ago to just keep putting that material back in the hopper and re-pressing it. I recently did about 10 pounds of tomatoes from my garden and got 4 huge containers of sauce with only seeds, a stem or three, and bits of skin left over. My wife was amazed at how little is left after you keep re-pressing.
The only down side to these presses is the squisher part which is inside is tough to clean. All in all though a great way to make a sauce base for the money and a great use of my garden tomatoes.

Patty Caddy Hamburger Paddy Maker By Progressive International Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This seemed like a great idea, but it just has too many flaws for me. I've retired it after using it only twice.
PRO'S
- Stores neatly & dishwasher safe - that's it.
CON'S
- Makes burgers too big - the diameter of the cylinder is over 4.5". If you're using lean ground beef or turkey, they'll end up bigger than most hamburger rolls.
- If you remove the patties from the cylinder and freeze them with the dividers in place, it's very difficult to separate the burger from the divider.
- The split cylinder can be tricky to assemble and disassemble.
There are better presses out there. I'm giving this one away.

Yellow Lemon Squeezer - Metal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My sister gave me this handy gadget for quickly and easily juicing lemons as a birthday gift. It seemed strange at first, but after I used it the first time, I declared it the greatest invention since the mandoline v-slicer for vegatables! It's so simple - you just cut the lemon in half and squeeze. In seconds, you have a whole cup of juice sans seeds and pulp. I've just learned that it comes in lime and orange sizes as well... I might just have to order that orange juicer for my morning squeeze.

Optional Attachment - Citrus Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The juicer shaft seized to the bowl after squeezing out 1/2 cup of key lime juice.
The shaft seized up so hard to the bowl that I could not turn it with a wrench nor bang it out with a hammer.
The shaft seized once before after one use, and, to the Company's credit, Kitchen Aid mailed, like this time, a
second free replacement. However, the instructions that come with the product give no indication this will happen.
Only after my second complaint did the Company phone representative admit the attachment should not to be used
with limes. It works OK with big soft oranges and lemons but that does not make it a versatile citrus juice attachment.
I bought a small hand held juice press for a third the price which does the job.

Olympus Extra Large Commercial Juice Press, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own a medium sized Ra Chand juicer, the popular model J210. Although the fit and finish of the Ra Chand juicer is somewhat crude, it makes up for it in brute strength and straightforward design. It works excellent for limes, lemons, and small to medium sized oranges and it will last a lifetime, even with daily use. The problem with the J210 is that it does not juice large oranges and grapefruits very well. I needed a larger juicer because I have a grapefruit tree and an orange tree that produce larger than average fruit. I decided against the Ra Chand J500 because they were more expensive than the OrangeX juicer, and the reviews of the OrangeX juicer were for the most part favorable--most of the complaints were for paint chips (doesn't appear to be a problem here) and slow delivery (also not a problem). I was disappointed when my OrangeX large commercial juicer arrived because the top cone and lower "bowl" assembly of the juicer, where the fruit fits, is no larger than the Ra Chand medium sized J210 juicer. In fact, it appears to be smaller than the Ra Chand medium sized juicer. Also, they are thin stamped stainless steel where on the Ra Chand juicer they are polished cast aluminum. That being said, the OrangeX juicer is heavy duty and fairly well built. I have no doubt it will work fine for limes, lemons, and small to medium oranges, and that it too will last a lifetime. However, now I have two juicers that will do the same thing and I still have no juicer for larger grapefruits, unless I settle for squeezing some of the grapefruit and having the edge squirt all over the edge. In retrospect, I wish I had looked at the Ra Chand J500 and, given that it is truly larger than the J210, spent the extra $50 to get something that would not only work for larger fruit, but medium and smaller fruit as well.
