This is a decent product. I used it to juice my grapes to make wine (as a wine press) and I used it press the remaining juice out of the pulp from my centrifugal juicer. As a wine press it worked well. Remember to always use the mesh bag. When I first juiced grapes, many of the grape solids slipped out between the slots of the metal cylinder. When they slip out, they don't get pressed enough and you don't get their full juice content without loading them back in. The second time I juiced grapes (with the mesh bag) it worked much better.
I use a centrifugal juicer for vegetable juice: celery, carrots, cucumber, etc. It is by far easy to use than the press. But the centrifugal juicers are not very efficient, and can leave a significant share of juice in the pulp. Enter the press. I fed the pulp from my centrifugal juicer into this press, and was able to recover a significant amount of juice, that would have otherwise been lost to the pulp. I think a good estimate would be about 20-25% extra yield, which I think is fantastic.
Cons:
It does take time to setup. I built a stabilizer out of wood and a clamp as is recommended in the instructions.
It takes some time clean. Juice in big quantities.
The hose that drains the juice into a storage vessel is too short. It is about a foot long. That is impractical and takes some time to position your bucket/pot/pitcher just right so that the short hose pours directly into it. I ended up putting a pot on a stool and sliding the stool next to my counter to catch the juice. I think I will go to the hardware store and buy a 3 foot hose, so I can juice and not have to worry about the hose missing the pot and pouring on the floor.
Overall it is a good product.

On its own, it is hard to hold the press and turn the last rounds of pressing. I first tried putting clamps on either side of the press to hold it still on a counter. That was better, but you have to position the clamps just so.
Best was to make a jig that holds the base plate, then clamp that. The jig is three boards screwed in a u-shape, with half circles carved into the parallel sides to hold the feet of the press base plate.
My cider production line:
- Quarter apples, no worries about cores, insect damage
- Run them through a food processor to mush stage
- Press
- Filter out any apple bits by pouring through a sieve into a stock pot
- Pasteurize at 165 degrees
- Can for 10 min or freeze
Suggestion: make a jig for the base, clamp to counter top

This is a well-designed product that can be helped by adding a three-board jig. I pressed about 10 gallons of cider with insect damaged apples this year with the combination.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2020

My hands are saved! I make a gallon of nut milk every week, this is the first time ever with a press, it was a breeze and got every bit of milk out of pulp. Our set up stand with step down stool made it easy for my 5'1" body. My handyman
placed a small metal washer in each of the holes, on the base, to prevent the screw from going thru the plastic (as it is thinner than the base itself). I was worried that the top, catch base, would pop out of the main base holes but it stayed
in the holes very sturdy. In addition we received, in box, food grade grease, for the fine thread shaft, instruction sheet, a splash/squirt cover, a fine mesh bag and It arrived undamaged. Next I will do some herbal tincture pressing, this press will get a lot of use in our kitchen.
