Well built, works great and easy to clean. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Very sturdy, goes together easily and stays together while in use. I used it for 3 hours straight and it worked perfectly. I found you need to clean the screen occasionally but other than that it is excellent.

The Back2Basics Manual Tomato Juicer is great conceptually but in execution less so. Probably this is due to the price point ... it's "reasonable" but the manufactured pieces don't fit together well, and if you don't crank just right, the whole thing comes apart and all the juice currently in production will be all over the kitchen. So, if you want just tomato juice, fine go for it -- it will be delicious but what with the aggrevation trying to put the contraption together, the horrific clean up process, and the time, you'd be better off spending big bucks and getting another product.

Also, don't be fooled by the image. The three strainers shown with the press are not included ... available at an extra charge. That noted, I purchased the extras as I wanted a coarse salsa, which was fantastic, but given the investments noted above, still wish I'd spent the extra $$$.
