I was very disappointment with this product. It was metal grinding against metal which results in metal shavings mixed with food!

I have an older well used model same manufacturer and delign made of tin plated steel. I silver soldered the fatigue cracked steel plate. It still works smothly but wanted a new stainless machine with the different sized plates.
The small and medium cutting plates have had their holes punched roughly from bottom to top leaving burrs that interfere with the auger and making it almost impossible to turn. I also see the possibility of stainless steel chips dislodged to the food.
Designed in France but outsourced to China? That may be unfair. Maybe the manufacturer screwed up in France.
In my small machine shop I ground most of the burrs smooth with a high speed convolute wheel and the edge holes with a dremmel tool.
I feel that you shouldn't have to fix a mew machine to make it work.
One star.

I'm not sure what problems other people have had with this food mill, but it was absolutely great to use in the culinary school that I attended in Dallas. It disassembles easily for cleaning, can process large quantities very quickly and efficiently, and the end product is very consistent. I have a smaller and much less expensive food mill of another brand that I use at home, but for when you want to process mashed potatoes for 10 people or more at once, this is extremely useful. :-)
