This is the best thing in the kitchen for home processing of fruits and vegetables. Bought it for tomatoes to make sauce and juice, but after reading booklet found out other uses such as raspberry juice (we use for homemade ice cream) I used to strain the berries through cheese cloth and clean pantyhose to get out seeds, but with this not only do i get clean juice but more of it as you can reprocess the "waste" several times. I would highly recommend this item. Save yourself the trouble and just buy the extra screens when you purchase the base kit.

My wife has used one of these for many years for all kinds of food preparation. Key examples include canning, jams, sauces, and juices. It's a crucial component in the process and a tremendous time-saver. For several years they were very hard to find. This year we were thrilled to be able to purchase one through Amazon for a good friend who loves to "put food by". She's now another believer. If you're serious about food preservation, you need one. Its very durable as well.
One warning though: Be prepared for juice and pulp to coat a wide area of your kitchen when you use it. It's not a design flaw, its just the nature of the process. So, if you're afraid of sticky messes, don't even think about it. However, if you're willing to do a little clean up, the quality of the food you feed your family will be drammatically improved.

For the last two years, I borrowed my parent's (15 year old) sauce maker for my garden tomatos. This year, I bought my own. What a difference! This new unit is much better designed. The Victorio has pulp and seed guards that make much less mess. The clamp mechanism is much easier to secure to my table. The stainless steel screens are great. I like it so much, I'm getting my parents one for Christmas.
With my parent's old unit: I'd get towels for the drips, shims for the table clamps, and have to scrub the rust out of the indside of the screen.

A must have when canning
My mom has had one for 30 years. My siblings and I keep borrowing hers, so I decided I needed to buy my own.

Just What I needed
My 300 pounds of Roma Tomatoes went through the VKP250 much faster than the way have juiced tomatoes in the past. Next season I will buy the motor.
