Broken hopper

I love this attachment. I have used it for many years and have canned a lot of sauce using it. The only issue I have with it is that the hopper where the food product is placed is cracking where it attaches to the mixer. I do love KA products and was disappointed that this had failed to meet my expectations for sturdiness that I have come to expect. I have many other KA products: pasta roller/cutter, meat grinder, etc. and they have all had a reliability, sturdiness and quality that I have relied on. I was hoping to buy just the foos hopper but it appears that I would have to purchase the entire set.
The pictured item offered for sale is not the item in the box. Only the far left part is included. The center Attachment shown is missing. Therefore your vegetables will rot before you get a proper center part if you needed it in time for canning.

Wish I would have bought this sooner. I only grow cherry tomatoes, but always end up with too many. But the “old school” way of making sauce is too much work to do with cherry tomatoes. The hole in the top of the grinder is the perfect size to pop in whole cherry tomatoes. Processed bucketloads of tomatoes for sauce in no time and with hardly any effort!
I have used the product about 6 times on tomatoes. Like so many other reviews here mys strainer seam has popped which forces seeds and skin out. love the way it works, but very disappointed with the faulty part.
I can't say enough about how fantastic this one is

If you love fresh tomato Prue for your Spaghetti sauce this is a must to have makes life and your arms o so easy. Also Highly recommend it to anyone making homemade applesauce works fantastic and you can get the most out of the peels We have been using ours for over 10 years now looking to buy a back up just in case I love it so much.
I have had this attachment for years. I love it for helping to prepare tomatoes and blackberries for juice. It is a huge time-saver! And easy to clean up.
I have the 5 1/2 quart bowl-lift mixer. If you have the 2-quart and 1-quart Tupperware pitchers, use them and you will have virtually no mess. I use the 2 quart to catch the juice and the 1 quart to catch the pulp. The height of the 2 quart means all the splashing is contained in the pitcher. Also you can then easily pour the juice into whatever storage container you are using. I never add liquids to my Kitchenaid juicer/strainer because I don’t want to risk them getting back into the gears/motor and ruining my mixer. What I do instead is take my parts outside and use the water hose to clean them out. The pressure easily removes debris from the strainer. And the ants can enjoy whatever remnants hit the ground. Then spray a little Clorox cleanup on the white parts if you processed blackberries so they won’t stay purple. Pop in the dishwasher and done.
What you are seeing in every picture shown here is not what you will be buying, you will only be getting half of what you need. I found out after I have already have half a season's worth of fruit on the stove. I am beyond upset. I bought from here because my wife criticized when I bought a 3rd party attachment cheese grater. I won't be making this mistake again.
Have had this for a couple of years and use it to make tomato sauce regularly and, when I lived north, would strain my applesauce for the baby across the street. Does the job it is intended and makes the chore at hand much easier.
