Perfect for even 7 bushels!
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...
smooth operation
After years of straining tomatoes manually, this strainer made the job that much easier. As with almost anything you purchase the first time we used the machine it took a little effort to make sure it was working correctly. The second time we used it things went smoothly. We made over 70 jars this year & it was a smooth operation.
less work
this is my second spremy tomato strainer, liked mine so much, i bought another for my daughter-in-law, she loves hers also.
